What is the best speaker for an office in Mexico City?

Office audio in Mexico City demands uniform coverage at low SPL, speech intelligibility for paging, and sound masking to reduce distraction. Ceiling loudspeakers on a 70/100 V line are the standard choice because they distribute sound evenly and allow long cable runs with many units per amplifier channel. The SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers are designed for this: low profile, wide dispersion, and a 70/100 V line tap for simple level setting per zone.

For spaces with high ceilings or where ceiling access is limited, the SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers provide controlled vertical coverage and can be wall mounted. Where higher output or directional coverage is needed, such as in a large atrium or a divisible meeting suite, the P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers (T models run on a 70/100 V line) offer point source options. M series point source boxes and subwoofers can extend low frequency for background music in feature areas.

Selection and sizing start with the room: ceiling height, area, and noise floor. For typical open plan offices, ceiling loudspeakers spaced to give overlap at ear height, usually 3 to 4 metres apart for a 3 metre ceiling, achieve even coverage. Meeting rooms need independent zones so paging can be routed only where needed. The SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante provide zone control, EQ, delay and limiting, and integrate with paging systems and building networks.

SSOUNDS designs and installs across Mexico City, with engineering support from our UK, US, Nigeria and Ghana bases. We can assist with coverage prediction, loudspeaker layout, amplifier sizing and commissioning to meet the specific needs of your office.
