A column speaker is a kind of advanced loudspeaker that uses vertically installed drivers to produce sound over a long distance. They are mostly used to address the public, for example, in shopping malls, airport concourses, churches, etc. These speakers are preferred for their pattern control and most importantly, high-quality sound.
A column PA system contains several small speaker components and looks similar to line arrays. These components are arranged vertically and thus, give the speaker the shape of a column. The mounting height ranges from 1.5 to 2+ meters. Column PA systems often comprise at least one tweeter and many full-range speakers.
Following are some salient features of active column speakers:
Slim Design
These speakers feature a slim look that facilitates their seamless blending with their surroundings. Hence, they make a good choice for discreet installation.
Pattern Control
Column speakers take pattern control differently, ensuring greater clarity in certain spaces, especially with reverberant surfaces.
Versatility
Column speakers work well for both indoor and outdoor spaces. As the sound from speakers reaches far away, this is an ideal choice for outdoor events, in public places, and also in spacious indoors such as churches.
Lightweight
The compact size of column speakers makes them easy to carry. Small-stage shows often use these portable speakers.
Wide-Reaching Sound
These speakers project far-reaching, clear output. Hence, these are ideal for spaces with reflective surfaces and high ceilings.
