Acoustic systems for open-type rooms

It is no secret to anyone that in recent years the number of requests for equipping office space of the "open" type has increased - the western version of building office spaces. On the one hand - it is budgetary in terms of company money - to put all employees in one room instead of allocating each to the office, and, accordingly, if costs began to be reduced, then why stop. Therefore, they try to make repairs as simple as possible, as a result of which the ceiling space is not decorated in any way - such a fashionable direction. Usually it is painted in dark colors, but not always, and all communications are left open. Apparently this option is much simpler and cheaper both from the service side and from the budget side. Additionally, a feeling of high ceilings and more space is created. Although this is not always the case.



Maintaining the general “open space” style of the rooms, the meeting rooms following them, as well as the conference rooms, are left with high open ceilings. But the need to equip audio and video systems remained, and often customers, together with designers, asked to harmoniously fit the speakers into such rooms.







On the one hand, there is a huge amount of designer acoustics that can be selected in any design and for any type of room. However, this type of speaker is not always reasonable when fully equipped with various audio and video switching equipment in a meeting room or small meeting room. Then, looking for a unique brand of designer acoustics will require a sufficient amount of time, and the cost will be many times higher than the cost of a professional speaker.



The multimedia market has long appeared and is beginning to be introduced into projects of suspended type speakers that harmoniously fit into the office design of the room, especially the “open” type.

Crestron saros

One of the leading switching equipment companies has in its arsenal a drop-type suspended acoustic system. Available in two colors - white and black.





There are several modifications of this speaker:

Extron SF 26PT / SF 3PT

Extron, a world leader in switching equipment, also released pendant-type speakers. They have a conical cylindrical type, can easily fit into open rooms or mix with fixtures.







Extron has released two speaker options, each of which can be ordered in white or black. Also, speakers can be painted in any color, thereby bringing it as close as possible to the design of the room.



Extron has also produced an impressive subwoofer, with the option of hanging or floor mounting.







The subwoofer has a low-frequency 10 ”(254mm) driver with a bass reflex port, software power 800W in 8 Ohm mode. The specificity of the suspension reduces rattling, and since the output can be a regular acoustic grill - with hidden installation, few can determine where the sub is really located. The subwoofer itself can also be painted in the color of the room.

LD System - CURV500

When you need to do it beautifully, but at the same time you cannot suspend acoustics - that is, such an interesting option as small acoustic arrays consisting of satellites from LD Systems.



Depending on the required power - you can collect arrays of up to 6 satellites. Speakers of this type can operate in low-impedance mode or 70V, which greatly simplifies installation. Like previous models, this type of speaker is available in two basic colors - white and black, but can be painted in any color directly when ordering at the factory.
