Re: Protecting Speakers in a Gymnasium

I work at a college that has a fairly small gymnasium that is used for
sporting events, practices, public speakers, and many other types of
events. We're designing a new audio system, and need speakers that will
hang from the ceiling and can take a beating from high-speed baseballs.
As a point of reference, the grilles on the lights often get knocked
off by baseballs and other types of flying objects. The emergency
light, though covered with a metal grille, has been replaced 3 times in
a few years from being hit.

I know many manufacturers make protective grilles for the front of the
speaker, but I need to protect the entire enclosure from damage. Does
anyone have experience with this, or know of a speaker manufacturer who
makes something for this purpose? Right now we're looking at SoundTube
speakers (www.soundtube.com), but we're not sure if there's something
more durable.

Thanks!

Does your institution have a metal shop in the maintenance dept.?
Sound like a custom welded fabrication with expanded metal mesh
on a framework is the level of protection you need.
Cover it with black nylon screen if it has to pass esthetics committee.
