b Installing IR speakers?
Use the following guidelines when choosing where to put your IR-Speakers:
– Define the area where students are sitting — this is the area you want to cover with speakers; not the entire room.
– Mentally divide this area into two equal sections running parallel to the whiteboard/main lecture area.
– Using a piece of tape, mark a desk in the center of each of the sections — these are the targets at which you'll
aim each of your IR-Speakers.
– Speakers should only be placed on the side walls of the classroom.
– Walls should have a space approximately 10in wide by 5in tall (25 x 13cm) to solidly mount the wall bracket.
– If the room has drop lighting, the speaker should be placed just below the bottom of the lights — the teacher
should be able to see at least one speaker from all parts of the room.
– Avoid installing speakers directly in front of the white board — this not only covers an area not used by
students – but increases the chance of feedback.
