What is the best speaker for an office in Madrid?

Offices require intelligible speech for paging, low level background music and sound masking to reduce distraction. Ceiling loudspeakers on a constant voltage line allow many units to be run from a single amplifier channel with simple tapping for level control. SSOUNDS CL6 and CL8 ceiling loudspeakers are designed for this, with wide, even coverage and a discreet profile. For spaces with high ceilings or where ceiling installation is not possible, 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, SSOUNDS P4, P5, P6T, P10T and P12T install loudspeakers are available, with T models operating on 70/100 V lines. SSOUNDS M series point source boxes and subwoofers can be added for meeting rooms or presentation areas that need fuller range audio.

Selection and sizing depend on ceiling height, room geometry and ambient noise. For open plan offices, ceiling loudspeakers are typically spaced to give overlapping coverage at ear height, with the quantity determined by the coverage angle and the desired uniformity. In meeting rooms, a single ceiling loudspeaker or a small column may suffice, but for video conferencing, consider a dedicated point source or column to keep speech intelligible. Zoning is essential: divide the office into areas so paging can be sent to specific zones, and background music and masking can be adjusted independently. SSOUNDS A series networked amplifiers with DSP and Dante provide the processing, routing and zone control needed, and can be networked for simple expansion.

SSOUNDS designs and installs across Madrid. Our engineers use AI assisted acoustic modelling and coverage prediction to optimise loudspeaker placement and settings before installation, ensuring that the system meets the required intelligibility and coverage targets. We work with system integrators, consultants and venue technical directors to specify the right combination of SSOUNDS products for each project. SSOUNDS operates from the United Kingdom, United States, Nigeria, Ghana and West Africa, and ships and supports systems internationally from those bases.
