RE: Re: Speakers for announcements

Ha, in most of the rooms ceiling is concrete. Only the halway has suspended ceiling through which I plan to put all the wires.

So, it's not possible to mount them in the ceiling.

These speakers will be mono, because I will use them for anouncements only, so this is all a bit too expensive for me.

If I decide to go for a home audio, I'll probably use KAT5.

Is your speaker cable shielded, and does it cross any power lines?

Does it pick any noise?

That's a pretty small speaker requirement then! How about putting
them in the ceiling - I've got 7 sets of ceiling speakers in various
rooms. They sound great and look very good (probably less obvious
than wall speakers). I went for a variety of models including:

Sonance GRM2 - Single stereo to mono summing speaker (water
resistant) - for use in the bathroom £90 ish

Systemline QED - Stereo pair for general areas £130 ish

Sonance 621 - Good quality stereo pair for listening rooms £240 ish

Also used 79 stand OFC cable

May be OTT for your requirements (whole lot cost over £1000 - cheap
compared to what you can easily spend). My system was primarily a
whole-house audio system with feeds for Comfort, ACE TTS etc.
