Every commercial space has its unique needs and challenges that influence the end-user experience.
With our speakers, you can tackle the problem of delivering perfectly even, high-fidelity audio across every square foot of the space without compromising quality.
The invisible formfactor of our speakers means that you can achieve full spectrum sound coverage, including rich bass, without disrupting the architecture and design of the space with conspicuous speaker grills or boxes.
Transform any space into a high-fidelity audio experience
We transcend the limitations of traditional cone speakers with our patented Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) technology. With their high power handling, superior fidelity and outdoor-rated design, our invisible speakers give you an outstanding, immersive, audio experience.
The SSP6 Multiducer™ delivers constant-SPL through the space, as well as broad spectrum coverage, and an even listening experience no matter where you are in the room. We’re taking transducer technology to the next level, bringing a more compelling audio experience to our end-users.
HOW IT WORKS
Traditional Speaker Coverage
SSP6 Multiducer Coverage
The secret to the SSP6 Multiducer is its use of DML (Distributed Mode Loudspeaker) planar-wave physics. The result is uniform, constant-SPL sound waves emanating everywhere on the panel surfaces. Polar dispersion characteristics as shown in this polar plot, are unlike any traditional cone speaker’s limited conical propagation pattern. Sound energy is sent not only down, but laterally creating a room filling massive bubble of homogeneous high-fidelity sound. With their high power handling, superior fidelity and outdoor-rated design, our invisible speakers give you an outstanding, immersive, audio experience with no hot spots or SPL roll-off.
Commercial Solutions
Immersive Audio For Any Environment
We offer seamless audio solutions for most commercial environments, from high-end showrooms and dining rooms to houses of worship and even luxury cruise ships. Revolution Acoustics can help you create an immersive listening experience with invisible audio technology.
Restaurants
Restaurateurs are intimately familiar with the problem of acoustic “hot zones” in their dining rooms. They’re a result of traditional cone speakers acting invariably as hot point sources compromising the effective use of the whole dining space. The SSP6 Multiducer™ completely eliminates those hotspots, providing patrons with a pleasant, immersive and dynamic experience at the targeted level of sound pressure. No longer will diners have a confrontational experience with the restaurant’s speakers, and no longer will establishment owners lose revenue from less than optimal space usage.
Retail
High-end retail stores and showrooms demand exceptional audio without sacrificing the visual aesthetic of the space. These are highly curated environments with an emphasis on grace and elegance of design. That means that traditional cone speakers with their visible grills just won’t cut it. The invisible formfactor of our speakers create a truly immersive soundscape that elevates the shopping experience without a speaker or wire in sight.
The SSP6 Multiducer™ is the first choice among luxury retailers across four continents for its best-in-class audio coverage and quality, as well as the versatility in substrate choices, from drywall to wood, ceramic, glass and more.
Houses of Worship
Houses of worship are amazing architectural environments known for high ceilings and expansive spaces. Designing speaker systems that project sound over the typically large distances without significant losses in SPL, and without creating hot spots close to the speaker has been a challenge until now.
What sets our audio solutions apart from traditional cone speakers is that we deliver dynamic audio at human scale Ergonomic Audio™ levels. We no longer need to crank up the volume to project sound deep into the space. We can now deliver it at comfortable levels close to the speaker as well as at great distances thanks to our planar wavefronts while driving large planar surfaces.
Hospitality
When it comes to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, quality audio makes a big difference. Hotels no longer have to rely on point-source speakers that create hot and cold audio zones that are especially noticeable in all common areas such as lobbies, restaurants, and long hallways as guests walk to their suites.
The SSP6 Multiducer™ eliminates audio hot spots and off-axis losses providing exceptionally even sound across the whole space. Our SSP6 Multiducers™ deliver dynamic, broad spectrum coverage and high-fidelity audio. More importantly, each Multiducer™ can cover a much larger area than traditional cone speakers, meaning you’ll need fewer speakers, which provide more complete coverage.
Education
Ensuring that every student can hear their teacher, whether in a classroom or auditorium setting, is essential to student success. In the complex business models that form the foundation of any learning institution, the rubber hits the road when a professor speaks to their students. In larger classrooms, making voice lift accurate on every square foot of the classroom is critically important.
Traditional cone speakers focus high frequencies in a narrow dispersion pattern than mids and lows, which can dramatically reduce voice intelligibility.
Conferencing
Configuring audio in conference and meeting rooms has long posed challenges. Traditional cone-type loudspeakers provide uneven coverage with overly loud audio close to speakers, and not enough audio a short distance away from the speakers. Add to that, the complications of microphone placement to avoid feedback.
The SSP6 Multiducer™ resolves those issues with a feedback-free speaker system for conferencing, presentations, and voice lift. Our speakers eliminate the need to set up mix-minus systems tied to legacy speaker technology. This allows mic’d presenters to move freely within the room without worrying about feedback or intelligibility.
Additionally, sound pressure levels (SPL) can be set at Ergonomic Audio™ spoken voice levels for a much more comfortable listening experience. As the SSP6 Multiducers™ do not fight logarithmic losses over distance like conventional cone speakers, the system can deliver a much more natural user experience compared to conventional conferencing technologies.
Transportation
Whether you're at a transit station or onboard a train, plane, or bus, being able to hear and understand announcements clearly is essential. Traditional loudspeakers leave a lot to be desired, especially when competing with high-volume background noise.
The SSP6 Multiducer™ provides high-SPL sound without dropoff or poor off-axis performance, which means you get clear, high-quality audio with consistent wide and even coverage, no matter where you are in the space.
Marine Audio
Marine audio solutions face an added wrinkle beyond the challenges of providing quality audio and coverage. Even marine grade speakers deteriorate in the salt marine environment requiring a refit schedule. Traditional speakers fare even worse.
Unlike traditional speakers, our SSP6 Multiducer™ is IP66 rated and is impervious to long term exposure in marine environments. They never require refitting over the vessel’s lifecycle. SSP6’s are the only marine speaker offering this level of functionality and value.
Healthcare
Creating audio solutions for healthcare environments always poses a challenge. These are typically large, multi-use complexes that need a system that can handle critical paging throughout the building, and benefit from sound masking for patient recovery rooms and admitting, as well as music for waiting rooms and surgical operating rooms. They also require speakers that will not be prone to permitting airborne pathogens such as but certainly not limited to Clostridioides Difficile (CDI or C-diff) present in hospitals, to pass through speaker holes into the air plenum where they spread.
The DML technology employed by SSP6 Multiducers™ means there’s no reverberation or echoing (room modes) in large spaces. This allows for background music, or even louder foreground music to be played at an even, comfortable volume across the entire space, while still making it possible for patrons to converse easily.
