9. How do I know what system size and type I need?

This is precisely why professional assessment is essential. Improper sizing causes 60% of audio system disappointments.

Our Sizing Process:

Step 1: Venue Analysis

• Measure space dimensions (length, width, ceiling height)
• Assess acoustic properties (hard surfaces vs soft furnishings)
• Determine ambient noise levels
• Identify coverage zones (dining area, bar, outdoor)

Step 2: Use Case Definition

• Background music only: Lower SPL requirements
• Live events/DJ: Higher SPL capability, music quality priority
• Speech reinforcement: Mid-range clarity critical

Step 3: Technical Calculations

• Required SPL (sound pressure level) based on venue type
• Speaker spacing for even coverage
• Amplifier power requirements
• Zone requirements for independent volume control

Step 4: 3D Acoustic Modeling (Projects 800k+ THB)

• Computer simulation showing predicted sound coverage
• SPL distribution maps at various frequencies
• Speaker placement optimization

Our commitment: We only recommend what your venue actually needs. Sometimes that means a simpler (and less expensive) system than you anticipated.

Free sizing assessment: Send venue photos and dimensions via WhatsApp (+66 95 428 8420) for preliminary evaluation.
