Commercial ceiling speakers provide high quality sound without cluttering up your space or décor. If you want a surround system in your restaurant without bulky speakers or music in your lobby without taking up too much space, then ceiling speakers provide an invaluable option. Moreover, ceiling speakers are ideal for multi-room music systems.
Number of Speakers
There are several factors to bear in mind when planning your ceiling speaker system. Start by considering how many speakers are needed for your space for good sound. And that’s highly dependent on the room’s size on how it’s being used.
One or two ceiling speakers may provide excellent background music for a small office waiting room. But say you have a large conference hall with a high ceiling, you may need to invest in six or more speakers to get the volume you need when the hall is full. Speaker placement is also one of the most critical factors you can’t afford to ignore. It takes planning and proper placement to get the best results and ensure your speakers deliver even coverage throughout your room.
Customized Design
It takes expertise and experience to plan a good multi-room commercial ceiling room music system. It’s important to work with a designer who can map out everything for you. Be sure to provide photos of your room and floorplans so your designer can draw up a system proposal. A designer will help you to identify how much power you need, what size speakers to get, and any other equipment you need.
Budget
Your budget should be guided by the listening experience you want for your space. If all you need is some fine background listening, there are plenty of modestly-priced speakers you can get. However, if you want high quality music, you have to be a bit flexible on your budget. Ceiling speakers that can deliver the live concert experience will cost more than average speakers. Talk to your designer about your performance goals and he/she will help you choose the right equipment for your needs.
Most ceiling speakers require just a few inches of mounting depth. But some are about 9 inches deep, because they have enclosures built around them or extra-large woofers. Enclosed speakers are most ideal for bass performance. Always check the speaker measurements to ensure they will fit between your ceiling and the floor above. Your speaker section will be based on your performance goals and the layout of your room. There’s also a wide range of sizes and designs from which you can choose. Look for speakers that complement the décor and theme of your space.
