Soundsphere® offers several loudspeaker models that are ideal for paging in locations such as factories and warehouses.

Soundsphere loudspeakers produce a hemisphere of full-frequency sound, delivering low, mid and high frequencies equally throughout their 180 degree x 360 degree area of coverage. They eliminate hot spots and dead spots and never sound harsh or blaring. Once installed, they will keep workers informed with highly intelligible announcements and can even help to improve productivity and morale with music. Soundsphere's technical staff assists customers in choosing the best loudspeaker for their application, based on ambient noise levels and size of the structure.
