General Mounting Guidelines

Recommended locations for installing TTS Speakers include:

1) Heavily trafficked building corridors

2) Lobbies and points of egress

3) Administrative desks
For optimal coverage, each hallway and common area should contain at least one unit. In standard 10 ft to 12 ft
ceiling height environments, a good rule of thumb is to install speakers in every occupied space and at intervals of
twice the ceiling height.
