What is the best speaker for a smart home in Melbourne?
Jibu la haraka
For a smart home in Melbourne, the right speaker depends on the space and the level of discretion required. SSOUNDS install range offers in-ceiling, in-wall, column and outdoor models, all designed to integrate with home automation and deliver premium sound.
A smart home in Melbourne typically needs audio that is heard but not seen. In-ceiling loudspeakers such as the SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 are ideal for living areas, kitchens and hallways, providing even coverage without intruding on the architecture. For rooms where ceiling installation is not possible, in-wall models like the P4, P5 and P6T offer a flush finish. The T models (P6T, P10T, P12T) operate on 70/100 V lines, allowing multiple speakers to run from a single amplifier channel, which simplifies wiring in large homes.
Open-plan living and dining spaces benefit from slim column loudspeakers such as the SSOUNDS LC8.2 and LC16.2. These deliver controlled directivity and high intelligibility, ensuring music and announcements are clear even in reverberant environments. For outdoor terraces and gardens, SSOUNDS offers weather-resistant models from the M series, which can be used with subwoofers for full-range performance. The M series point-source boxes and subwoofers also suit dedicated home cinema or media rooms where higher SPL is required.
Powering and controlling the system is handled by SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante. These amplifiers provide zone control, allowing different areas to play different sources or be grouped as needed. Integration with home automation systems (such as Control4, Crestron, or Savant) is straightforward via network or RS-232, and voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant can be enabled. For reliable performance, SSOUNDS recommends using zone amplifiers with enough headroom for the desired listening levels and speaker loads.
Selection and sizing should be based on room volume, ceiling height, and desired SPL. For background music, a single pair of CL6 per 40-60 square metres is often sufficient. For higher fidelity or larger spaces, CL8 or column speakers may be needed. Outdoor areas require speakers rated for the environment, and SSOUNDS M series models are designed for such use. It is important to work with an integrator who can model coverage and ensure even sound distribution. SSOUNDS designs and installs across Melbourne, providing support from specification to commissioning.
