The Best Sound Around™
What is the Soundsphere Speaker?
Every Soundsphere omnidirectional speaker produces a hemisphere of full-frequency sound. Conventional speakers produce coverage patterns that vary with frequency. You may have noticed this phenomenon in places with common ceiling speakers; you hear the bass everywhere, but as you move away from the speaker, the mid- and high-frequency sounds disappear.
The presence of mid and high frequencies directly affects the quality of music, as well as speech intelligibility. Soundsphere speakers produce low, mid, and high frequencies equally throughout their 180° x 360° area of coverage, maximizing speech intelligibility and music quality under — and to all sides of — the speaker.
Why They Work So Well
Soundsphere speakers produce a diffuse sound field that will not sound harsh or blaring anywhere over their broad coverage area. Listeners seldom perceive a source of sound, but rather a field of sound that appears to come from everywhere.
Because of their broad coverage, Soundsphere speakers are generally placed overhead instead of in corners or along walls. The speakers are thus closer to more listeners, allowing them to hear more clear, direct sound in proportion to non-distinct reverberant sound. Another benefit derived from the broad dispersion is that Soundsphere speakers can be used in multiple-speaker systems without the engineering necessary to cluster conventional speakers.
Added Benefits
Soundsphere speakers are light in weight and can be installed easily and quickly. Even large systems can be installed in a day or less.
The speakers are available in several standard colors and can be made to coordinate with any existing color scheme in your facility.
The quality of materials and rugged construction make them resistant to potential damage in facilities like gymnasiums and factories.
