How to shop for Commercial Speakers
Commercial speakers are the voice of a commercial A/V system — sometimes called a 70-volt speaker system — which works differently from traditional home theater or stereo setups. They come in a range of sizes to fit in small or big spaces, indoors or out.
A 70-volt system makes it easier to get music from wireless streaming or wired sources — including a microphone or sound-masking system — to every corner of your business. They can accommodate a large number of speakers with wire running from speaker to speaker, instead of requiring each speaker to be connected directly to an amplifier like in a traditional home system.
