Overview
Speech at the head table, music on the dance floor.
A ballroom is two rooms in one. In meeting mode, the priority is speech from the stage and the head table. In banquet mode, the priority is music at a comfortable level across the tables without drowning conversation. The system has to switch between the two, often on the same day.
The design starts with the room geometry: ceiling height, stage position, table layout and the maximum seat count. A line array or a point-source cluster is chosen for the throw and the vertical coverage; subwoofers are added for music; stage monitors are added for the presenter and the band.
The hard part is not the loudspeaker. It is the zoning, the presets and the operator interface. The hotel AV team needs a “meeting” preset and a “banquet” preset that sound right without an engineer on site. We design those presets and document them.
Manufacturing & system package
Manufactured in our own factory. Available as a standalone family, or combined with PA, conference, AV and ballroom families into one complete system package and one combined proposal. ODM and OEM programmes available.
Two room modes
Meeting and banquet presets with different coverage, level and EQ. The operator selects the mode, not the parameters.
Vertical coverage
Line arrays are aimed at the seating plane, not the back wall. The array length and angle follow the room section.
Low-frequency control
Subwoofers are placed and delayed to support music without making speech muddy.
Operator-friendly
A simple control panel with clear presets. The hotel AV team should not need a laptop to run a meeting.
Reference specification
What are the reference specifications and selection rules?
The table is a design reference, not a model datasheet. The quoted model carries the final ratings.
| Item | Reference value or guidance |
|---|---|
| Main system | Line array |
| Music and stage | Sub + monitor |
| Meeting / banquet presets | 2+ |
| Wireless plan | RF mics |
| Room types | Hotel ballroom, convention hall, event venue |
| Loudspeakers | Line array, point source, subwoofer |
| Monitoring | Stage monitors, side fills |
| Processing | DSP with meeting / banquet presets |
| Amplification | Matched to the loudspeaker load |
| Control | Wall panel, tablet, operator software |
| Hotel ballroom (200–500 seats) | A line array per side or a central cluster, subwoofers, two to four stage monitors and a DSP with meeting/banquet presets. The array length follows the throw and the ceiling height. |
| Convention hall (500+ seats) | A larger line array, delay loudspeakers for the rear, and a separate stage monitor mix. The system may need a digital console and a dedicated operator position. |
| Wedding or event venue | A compact line array or point-source system with wireless microphones, music playback and a simple control panel. The system should be easy to set up by the venue staff. |
| Multi-purpose hall | Separate presets for meeting, banquet and performance. The loudspeaker layout and the DSP are designed for the three modes, not just the largest one. |
| Outdoor event | Weather-rated loudspeakers, wind load, power distribution and neighbour noise limits. The system is designed for the site, not just the crowd size. |

Build the rest of the chain
A working system is more than one family. These are the adjacent blocks that are usually specified together.
Ballroom line · stageWireless microphones & stage lighting
Handheld, lavalier and headset wireless systems, antenna distribution, stage lighting and control for ballrooms, event venues and multi-purpose halls.
Conference line · reinforcementConference room sound reinforcement
Ceiling, wall and line-array loudspeakers, amplifiers and audio processing for meeting rooms, boardrooms, lecture theatres and multi-purpose halls.
PA line · everydayBackground music systems
Music sources, players, zone volume control and loudspeaker selection for hotels, retail, restaurants, offices and public areas — with the paging and fire override designed in from the start.
Conference line · controlAV control & matrix switching

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions that usually decide the scope: loudspeaker count, amplifier size, fire interface, certification and who installs the system. If your question is not here, send it with the building data.
Ask an application engineerLine array or point-source loudspeakers for a ballroom?
A line array gives better vertical control in a tall, deep room and is easier to aim at the seating plane. A point-source cluster can be sufficient in a smaller or lower room. The decision comes from the room section, the throw distance and the ceiling structure.
How many subwoofers does a ballroom need?
It depends on the music programme, the room volume and the low-frequency target. Speech-only meetings may need no subwoofers; a banquet with dancing needs more. The subwoofer count and placement are designed with the main array, not added at the end.
Can the system switch between meeting and banquet modes?
Yes. The DSP stores presets for each mode: different loudspeaker zones, levels, EQ and subwoofer settings. The operator selects the mode from a panel. The presets are tuned during commissioning with the room furnished.
Do you supply stage lighting?
We supply stage lighting fixtures and control where the project asks for it. We do not provide stage construction, rigging design or event production services. The rigging and structural work are by others.
Can the hotel AV team operate the system?
Yes. The control interface is designed for non-specialist staff: clear presets, a limited parameter set and a written operating procedure. Training and a handover session are included where agreed.
Next step
Send the room, not the model
Tell us the building type, the zones, the ceiling height and the fire interface. We will check whether this family fits before we quote it, and show how it combines with the rest of the system in one proposal.

Project inquiry
Ask about Ballroom sound
Send the room or building data once. We return one combined proposal covering PA, conference, ballroom and AV, with the equipment schedule, interface list and the questions that still need an answer. ODM and OEM inquiries are welcome. Drawings are welcome but not required.
