Description
The Soundsphere Secret Sound SS30-C is a museum-grade parabolic speaker engineered to deliver a tight, focused audio beam with minimal spillover. It projects sound precisely onto exhibits or targeted listening zones while keeping surrounding areas quiet. The compact molded-composite housing is slightly larger than a baseball yet delivers clear midrange and high frequency response.
Designed for ceiling mounting at virtually any height, the SS30-C uses a parabolic reflector to concentrate audio energy and reduce distracting side-lobe sound. The speaker offers a defined frequency range of 200 Hz – 22 kHz and is tuned for articulate vocal and program clarity. Its focused output makes it ideal where intelligibility and controlled coverage are required.
The SS30-C housing is molded-composite to provide structural strength and inherent damping that reduces resonances. The design emphasizes low coloration and consistent performance across its operating band. The speaker is maintenance free and has been in institutional use since 1986, demonstrating long-term reliability.
Connectivity and installation are straightforward – the compact form factor simplifies placement and concealment above exhibits. The speaker is available in clear, black, or white parabola finishes to match exhibit aesthetics. No active electronics are required within the enclosure, supporting long service intervals and minimal upkeep.
Typical applications include museums, galleries, retail displays, and other curated spaces where precise audio placement is necessary. The SS30-C excels at delivering spoken-word content, ambient sound zones, and localized audio effects without contaminating adjacent areas. Its focused beam helps designers create immersive audio experiences with reduced audio masking.
Installation is simple and installer-friendly, with ceiling mounting possible at many heights and straightforward alignment to target zones. The durable composite construction resists environmental wear while providing consistent acoustic performance. The SS30-C combines discreet aesthetics and controlled directivity to meet demanding exhibit audio requirements.
