The DSPPA DSP7011 is a 6.5-inch frameless ceiling speaker rated 10W, with a built-in 70V/100V transformer and clamps for a 165-170mm cutout. It is made for school PA, mosques, corridors and warehouses where speech and announcements must be clear.
====
The DSPPA DSP7011 is a 6.5-inch frameless ceiling speaker with a built-in 70V/100V transformer and a 10W rating on a 100V line. It is designed for speech and announcements rather than hi-fi music, which makes it a natural fit for classrooms, corridors, mosques and warehouses. It drops into a 165-170mm hole and locks in place with the clamps supplied in the box.
DSPPA DSP7011 specifications
All figures below come from DSPPA's official product page and datasheet:
- Power: 10W RMS, with 6W and 10W taps on a 70V line.
- Frequency range: 120Hz to 16kHz, tuned for the human voice.
- Sensitivity: 90dB ±2dB, with a maximum SPL of 92dB ±2dB at 1m.
- Distortion: under 1.5%.
- Size: Ø185mm by 74mm deep, weighing 0.9kg.
Built for long 100V speaker lines
Because the transformer sits inside the speaker, the system runs at high voltage and low current. In practice that means longer cable runs and many speakers wired in parallel on the same line. A school with 30 classrooms can feed every room from one 100V amplifier split into zones, instead of pulling a separate cable to each speaker. The 6W tap on 70V is handy for staff rooms and small offices that need less volume.
Pest-proof grille and UV-stable housing
The face is made from anti-UV engineering plastic, so it keeps its colour and shape under strong lighting. The grille uses a fence-style pattern that stops roaches and rodents from getting inside. Installers working in drop ceilings above kitchens, storerooms and car parks will appreciate this, since insects inside a speaker cause buzzing and early failures.
Where the DSP7011 fits in Saudi Arabia
DSPPA lists schools, gyms, parks, car parks, airports, residential compounds and shopping malls as target sites. Typical projects in the Kingdom include:
- School PA: class bells and morning announcements in classrooms and hallways.
- Mosques: ceiling coverage for the prayer hall, corridors and the women's section.
- Warehouses and factories: staff paging and shift announcements.
- Malls and supermarkets: light background music and promotion announcements.
Matching an amplifier
You need an amplifier with a 70V or 100V line output. Add up the tap settings on each line and keep at least 20% headroom. Twenty speakers on the 10W tap equal 200W, so choose a 250W amplifier or larger.
In larger buildings, split the speakers into zones so an announcement can go to one area without disturbing the rest. Installation is simple: cut the hole, connect the line to the tap you want, push the speaker in and tighten the clamps.
DSP7011, DSP8011 or DSP703?
The DSP7011 is the speech-focused option: 10W, response from 120Hz and a 165-170mm cutout. The DSP8011 is more sensitive at 94dB, reaches 104dB max SPL, extends down to 60Hz and needs a larger 208-215mm hole, and it can go in a ceiling or a wall. The DSP703 is a 20W coaxial model with 101dB max SPL, better suited to hotel background music, but it weighs 1.8kg. Pick the DSP7011 when the job is paging across many rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DSP7011 need a special amplifier?
Yes. It needs a 70V or 100V line-output amplifier because the transformer is built in. Do not connect it to a standard home amplifier.
What ceiling cutout does it need?
A 165-170mm hole. The speaker measures Ø185mm by 74mm deep and ships with mounting clamps.
Is it good for music?
It handles light background music, but its response starts at 120Hz, so it is strongest on speech. For fuller music, look at the DSP703 or DSP8011, which reach down to 60Hz.
