Description
High ceilings and open spaces can make it tough to get good sound. The Bogen MPS1B Mini-Pendant Ceiling Speaker solves that problem in a sleek, modern way. This compact black pendant hangs down from the ceiling so your audio reaches people right where they are - no more muffled announcements or weak background music.
Perfect for offices, retail stores, warehouses, lobbies, and atriums, the MPS1B delivers crisp, even coverage whether you're using it with a 70V paging system or a standard low-impedance setup. Its small size and attractive finish blend into almost any décor, and you can even paint it to match your walls.
Our honest take: It's not a concert speaker, but for voice paging and light background music it's outstanding. If you need deeper bass or crisp highs for foreground music, step up to the MPS2W or MPS2B.
Setup tip from our techs: When pairing with a VoIP paging adapter or gateway, set the rear tap switch to 4 W or 8 W first. That gives plenty of volume while leaving headroom so announcements never distort. Test in the actual space-sound behaves differently at 18 ft than on the bench!
