Loudspeakers & Speaker Systems for
School Gymnasiums

The model Q-12A is an ideal speaker for noisier indoor applications such as gymnasiums. Standard and custom colors are available.
Why Choose a Soundsphere Loudspeaker?

Q: We have two big speakers mounted on the walls of our gym. When we use the sound system, there is so much echo that we can't understand what is being said. The system installer says we need more speakers and more amplifiers, but the cost is way over our budget. Do you have any ideas?

A: Adding more speakers to your system will not necessarily raise speech intelligibility. In all likelihood, it will be further degraded. A single Soundsphere model Q-12A in the center of the room will produce even coverage of voice and quality music at high sound pressure levels. A single, central source is the best solution for good speech intelligibility in a reverberant environment like your gym. You should be able to use the existing amplifier, and the reasonable cost of the installed Soundsphere speaker should meet your budget requirements. Your Soundsphere dealer can demonstrate the Q-12A on-site, so you will be able to judge its performance before you spend any money.
