Product Overview
The ZonarSound 'Drop-in' speaker panels are flat, directional loudspeakers that have been
designed to drop into a standard 600mm x 600mm suspended ceiling grid. Each speaker
panel provides a high-quality, directional output to a specific listening zone with minimal
overspill into surrounding areas. The speaker panels are based on the flat, flexible speaker
technology developed and patented by Warwick Audio Technologies Ltd.
The speaker panels operate in a Master/Slave mode and only require an audio signal input
and power supply to the Master panel. Speaker panels can be connected in a daisy chain or
star configuration (or a combination of both). The Master speaker panel requires a low voltage
balanced or unbalanced audio input.
A separate, shelf mounted, amplifier is available as an alternative to the amplifier in the
Master panel.
