      @gjacobse Ok so what amplifier would you recommend? Is an amp really needed?

        Yes an amp is needed for if you want anything louder than headphones would be.

        Think about the speakers on a desktop PC. These all have an internal amp normally in one speaker (that's why there is a power plug).

        You'll need the same here. You take the output from the projector (how does the projector get the audio stream?) into an amp,, the amp then drives the speakers.

          Well the goal with the projector is to use the network projection functionality. I assume (need to confirm) that the "EasyMP" software will transfer sound as well.

            you could use something as small as this:

              Yep, sure could. Just don't tell @art_of_shred.

                If 20 Watts is enough in each speaker, that should be fine.

                  So any recommendations on ceiling tile speakers that are low cost, decent quality?

                    If I continue to ignore him, he can't bother me.

                      Would these suffice?

                      There is a 70V transformer version as well, double the cost though.

                        Audio isn't cheap. A few hundred dollars is the cheap end of this solution.

                            I could use these which have a 70V transformer build in, and it's a 4 pack.

                              I don't have a specific recommendation. The last time I did one was more than 10 years ago. I purchased a typical home receiver, ran speaker cables to the speakers, and an input cable to the cable set in the middle of the room.

                              The speakers and amp kinda need to be matched together, this shouldn't be hard, and Art definitely knows a lot more about this than me.

                                Paging @art_of_shred for recommendations on a speaker amp combo.

                                      No, building a list of things for the conference rooms.

                                        You don't need an RCA splitter (thats just silly).

                                        Get a set of RCA cable (Red & White, Yellow is composite video - which you don't need) long enough to go from the projector to your amplifier location.

                                        You need an amplifier, a 2 channel amp will easily drive 4x 8 ohm speakers (2 per channel)

                                          So just the RCA cables I have listed, to the AMP, and from the amp to the speakers, basic speaker wire.

                                          Gotcha.
