Sound Shower® Provides Directional Audio for the World's Leading Museums

Stylish and ultrathin Sound Shower® directional audio speakers enable museums and galleries to deliver high-quality, focused audio to targeted areas without disturbing the surrounding environment.

Museums and galleries continue to be major drivers for directional audio. The need for museums and galleries to deliver sound for information purposes or exhibits has to be balanced with the desire to maintain the quiet dignity and ambiance of the venue. Achieving this balance has been nearly impossible with traditional speaker technology, which is why many museums and art galleries use cumbersome-and uncomfortable-portable players and headsets. By incorporating directional speakers into their facilities, these institutions can offer a range of audio alternatives for exhibition plan ners while still maintaining the quiet ambiance that guests (and staff) appreciate without having to use the aforementioned headsets. The limitless audio alternatives a museum can use directional audio for include: narration or commentary, ambient or background music, visitor instructions, and nature sounds, such as light rain, animal calls, or a babbling brook.

Along with being able to provide high-quality directional audio, additional benefits of using Sound Shower speakers are the ultrathin profile and customizable color that make them easy to blend into the surrounding decor. Also, because the audio produced by these speakers attenuates very slowly, they can be placed on very high ceilings and still deliver a focused audio footprint were needed-no need for unsightly hanging tubes or domes.

Museums and galleries of all type, large and small, public and private, rely on Sound Shower® directional speakers for all their focused audio needs. Users include:
