What is the best speaker for a conference room in Cancún?
Jibu la haraka
For a conference room in Cancún, the best speaker choice is a distributed ceiling system using SSOUNDS CL6 or CL8 ceiling loudspeakers, or slim column loudspeakers such as the LC8.2 or LC16.2 where walls are available, driven by SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante. This delivers even speech coverage, low visual impact and straightforward integration with beamforming microphones and echo cancellation.
Conference rooms prioritise speech intelligibility, even coverage and discreet appearance over high SPL. Ceiling loudspeakers are usually the right answer: SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 models mount flush, cover the seating area evenly and keep the sound close to the listener, which raises direct-to-reverberant ratio and reduces the effort needed from the DSP. Where a ceiling is unsuitable, for example in a heritage building or a room with a very high ceiling, SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2 slim column loudspeakers provide controlled vertical coverage from the wall, with the LC16.2 giving longer throw in larger rooms.
Sizing follows a simple process. Map the room dimensions and seating layout, then set a coverage target of roughly 6 to 8 metres between ceiling loudspeakers at typical ceiling heights, adjusting for ceiling height and room absorption. Aim for even coverage at ear height with no more than about 6 dB variation across the seats. For a small room up to around 30 square metres, two to four CL6 units are often sufficient. For larger boardrooms and divisible spaces, CL8 or LC16.2 columns with a subwoofer from the SSOUNDS M series, only if programme material requires low frequency extension, will maintain speech clarity while supporting video playback.
Amplification and processing should come from the SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante. Dante allows the loudspeakers, microphones and video conferencing codec to share one audio network, and the onboard DSP provides the EQ, delay and limiting needed to tune the room. Pair the system with beamforming microphones and a conferencing DSP that handles acoustic echo cancellation, so the loudspeaker and microphone systems work as one. For rooms that need a single point source rather than distributed ceiling audio, SSOUNDS P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers cover the range, with the T models running on 70/100 V lines for long cable runs and simple level setting.
SSOUNDS designs and installs across Cancún, with engineering support from our UK, US and West Africa operations. We can model the room, specify the loudspeaker type and count, and commission the system so speech from the table and from video calls is clear at every seat.

Mambo muhimu ya kuzingatia
- Ceiling loudspeakers (SSOUNDS CL6, CL8) are usually best for conference room speech, with slim columns (LC8.2, LC16.2) as an alternative where ceilings are unsuitable.
- Size by coverage: aim for even level at ear height, typically 6 to 8 metres between ceiling units, and keep variation across seats within about 6 dB.
- Use SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante to integrate loudspeakers, beamforming microphones and echo cancellation on one network.
- For single point source rooms, SSOUNDS P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers cover the range, with T models for 70/100 V line operation.
