What is the best speaker for a conference room in Santiago?

Conference rooms prioritise speech clarity from table talkers and video calls. Ceiling loudspeakers like the SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 provide even coverage and minimal visual impact, making them ideal for low ceilings. For rooms with higher ceilings or where more direct sound is needed, slim column loudspeakers such as the LC8.2 and LC16.2 offer controlled vertical dispersion, keeping speech intelligible at the table and reducing reflections off walls and ceilings.

When selecting a speaker, consider room dimensions, seating layout, and the acoustic environment. For small to medium rooms (up to 50 square metres), a distributed ceiling system with four to six CL6 or CL8 units, driven by an SSOUNDS A series amplifier with DSP, ensures consistent coverage. Larger rooms or those with challenging acoustics may benefit from column loudspeakers mounted on the front wall, or point-source models like the P6T or P10T for higher SPL and pattern control. The T models operate on 70/100 V lines, simplifying long cable runs in large installations.

Integration with beamforming microphones and echo cancellation is critical. SSOUNDS A series amplifiers include Dante networking and onboard DSP, allowing seamless connection to conference room DSPs and video conferencing codecs. This ensures that the loudspeaker system works in harmony with microphone arrays, delivering natural, full-duplex communication without feedback or echo. For rooms requiring subwoofers, the M series point-source subwoofers can be added for fuller audio in multimedia presentations.
