3.3 Multi-channel Audio
Studio Series in-ceiling and in-wall speakers can be combined
for multi-channel audio installations. In the majority of combined
installations, in-wall speakers are best suited to front (left and right)
and centre channel applications, and in-ceiling speakers more
suited to surround channel applications.
In-ceiling Speakers (Front and Centre channels):
If Studio
Series in-ceiling speakers are utilised in multi-channel installations,
the front (left and right) and centre speakers should be located
approximately 0.5 m (20 in) in front of the plane of the screen. The
centre speaker should be on the centre line of the screen and the
front (left and right) speakers each within approximately 0.5 m
(20 in) of the sides of the screen.
In-wall Speakers (Front and Centre channels):
If Studio Series
in-wall speakers are utilised in multi-channel installations, the front
(left and right) speakers should ideally be located either side of the
screen with each one approximately 0.5 m (20 in) away. The centre
channel speaker should be located either directly above or below
the screen or, in the case of an acoustically transparent screen,
directly behind it.
In-ceiling and In-wall Speakers (Surround channels):
Surround channel speakers should be located as close as possible
to the requirements of the specific multi-channel format, usually
just behind and at either side of the listening position. The acoustic
environment around each speaker and the distance from each
one to nearby walls should ideally be similar. Aim to avoid corner
positions if possible for any speaker installation.
S4-DVC65 in-ceiling speakers can be used in Dipole mode for
surround channel applications. In Dipole mode the twin tweeters
of the S4-DVC65 are connected in opposite polarity so that a high
frequency acoustic null is generated on the unit’s centrally forward
axis. S4-DVC65 units used in Dipole mode should have their bass/
mid unit rotated and the tweeter angle adjusted so that they are
orientated towards the listening position.
