The last factor that cannot be ignored in modern speaker design is the importance of safety standards. With the European EN54 safety evacuation standard becoming a globally recognized standard, manufacturers are seeking to obtain this certification for their products.
Due to the adoption of this standard by many countries and the addition of music programs to ensure public safety. This strict process has led to significant growth in the business of certain manufacturers. This change also once again meets the needs of interior design, as BGM and PA/VA can be played through the same system, thereby reducing the number of speakers required for the project.
After the initial surge, more brands are using safety features as a standard, and the position of audio design in the design industry is increasing. There is still a long way to go for audio to receive the same attention as the stage scenery, but this additional factor can definitely help with this.
Although the core components of the audio system remain largely unchanged, the added features of new technologies ensure that the research and development environment of the audio system is constantly changing. These latest trends are likely just the tip of the iceberg of exciting developments in the coming years
