Ceiling speakers suit rooms with a drop ceiling and an even listening area. Pendants hang from open or high ceilings. Surface-mount speakers go on walls that cannot be opened. Column arrays throw sound further with tighter vertical coverage, which keeps speech clear in reverberant rooms such as churches and lobbies.

As a starting point, space ceiling speakers at roughly twice the distance from the speaker to the listeners' ears, so a 9-foot ceiling over seated listeners lands around 10 to 12 feet apart. Speech-critical rooms need tighter spacing than background music.

70V (and 100V) speakers have transformers so many of them can share one amplifier channel over long cable runs, which is how offices, retail and schools are wired. Low-impedance (8-ohm) speakers connect more directly to the amplifier and suit smaller zones, music and performance spaces.

Yes, as long as each speaker matches the line type (70V or low impedance) and the amplifier channel is sized for the total load. Mixing models in one zone can change tone from area to area, so we usually keep one model per zone.

Yes. Outdoor models are rated for moisture and UV exposure. Horn speakers suit paging in warehouses and yards, and landscape speakers suit patios and courtyards.

For a single small room, a standard layout is usually enough. For large rooms, high ceilings, hard surfaces or speech that must be understood, such as worship, courtrooms and lecture halls, coverage and intelligibility should be modelled before speakers are chosen.

Yes. Our CTS-D engineers lay out coverage, size amplifiers and DSP, install and tune the system nationwide. Call (888) 230-3661 or email sales@creationnetworks.net.
