Soundsphere Q is a series of hemi-directional loudspeakers. The compact loudspeakers have a hemispherical coverage pattern, which ensures a broad, full coverage of the audio distribution. This is great for clear, accurate voice announcements and high quality music reproduction.
The Q-6 is Soundsphere’s most compact, weather-resistant omnidirectional speaker. The loudspeaker offers full-range music and broadcasting options for installations both indoors and outdoors. The Q-8 is even more robust than the other Soundsphere speakers. It is designed to provide high quality clear voice announcements and foreground and background music. Since the Q-12A offers powerful, high-quality foreground music and speech reproduction, it is ideal for use in all situations where clear voice messages and high-quality foreground music are required at high sound pressure levels. The Q-12AWR offers the same benefits as the Q-12A. However, this loudspeaker can be used both indoors and outdoors. The speakers are supplied as standard in white and black. Any desired colour is also available on request.
Tau has several optional Soundsphere accessories available for mounting. Single point suspension can be arranged with the HK/HKL suspension sets with three elements. The speaker can be mounted on a beam flange using the BC/BCM/BCL beam clamps. For a lower suspension, use the HKEXT 24″ extension suspension set in combination with the HK/HKL. Then there is the DCB mounting bracket for installation on suspended ceilings. Finally, the MBS/MBM/MBL mounting brackets allow flat installation against a ceiling surface. All these mounting options make it together possible to use the speaker in very different environments.
Soundsphere Q is very suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. The series is perfect for use in, among other things, the applications below.
