Wall Loudspeakers
Wall speakers can be used for isolated sound requirements or
where it is not possible to install ceiling units - inaccessibility
for wiring, unknown behind ceiling obstructions, or where
very high ceilings are present.
An SWS10 wall cabinet loudspeaker provides general, forward
projectional distribution useful for only a few metres - four
optimally; using them over greater distances means that
those closest will hear more loudly than those at the
furthest distance.

Ceiling Loudspeakers
These are ideal for use in
areas where a smooth, even
spread of sound is required,
for example in a restaurant
where point sources of sound
from wall loudspeakers
would intrude on those
closest to them.
Selecting ceiling
loudspeakers such as
the DL06-165/T means
that there must be access
above the ceiling to
install cabling to all the
loudspeakers and to
the amplifier.
