Several companies do directional speakers that can go on wall or floor - they don't have to point downwards (despite the photo in the link!).

Subject: Delivering localised audio in galleries
 

Hi all,

 

Hoping the MCG hive mind might have some thoughts on the best way of delivering localised audio within a gallery/exhibition space. We’re a bit limited by a lack of high level data and power so sound showers are probably out.

 

Vistaton or similar speakers in setworks – do these deliver localised enough sound? Is the quality rubbish? Do they last?

Handsets (looking at Molitor) – do people actually use them? Is the cleaning post Covid a nightmare? How robust are they?

 

Other thoughts? And if there’s anywhere you’d suggest visiting that you think does audio well, let me know.

 

Kath
