What is the best speaker for an office in Auckland?

In an office, speech intelligibility and even coverage are critical. Open plan areas need low-level background music and paging that remains clear without being intrusive, while meeting rooms require higher intelligibility for presentations and conferencing. Sound masking is often used to reduce distractions. The choice of loudspeaker depends on ceiling height, room size, and acoustic conditions. SSOUNDS install loudspeakers, including ceiling, column, and point-source models, are designed for these applications.

For most offices, ceiling loudspeakers are the practical choice. SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers provide wide, even coverage and are ideal for open plan areas and meeting rooms. They run on 70/100 V lines, allowing multiple units on a single amplifier channel with simple level control. In spaces with high ceilings or glass walls, SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers offer controlled vertical dispersion to direct sound at listeners and reduce reflections. For larger areas or where higher SPL is needed, SSOUNDS P4, P5, P6T, P10T, and P12T install loudspeakers (T models for 70/100 V lines) or M series point-source boxes and subwoofers can be used.

SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante provide the processing and routing needed for multiple zones. They allow independent control of background music, paging, and masking levels in different areas. When specifying a system, consider the number of zones, ceiling height, and desired SPL. A typical open plan office might use ceiling loudspeakers spaced to achieve overlap for even coverage, while meeting rooms may need additional units for higher intelligibility. SSOUNDS designs and installs across Auckland, working with local integrators to ensure the system meets the specific needs of each office.
