ARRAY PLACEMENT/AIMING
All Left, Right and Center channel arrays are positioned behind-screen so
that their acoustic centers are positioned in-line with the 2/3 height point
of the screen from the screen bottom.
Once arrays are positioned on the structure for attachment and
suspension, aim each array’s acoustic center at the center point of
the auditorium, that is 1/3 the length of the auditorium distance from
the rear wall. Aim the acoustical center of the array at a downward
angle to ear height.
Aim by adjusting the connections on the two rear eye bolts on the top
of the array.
SPEAKER ARRAY HEIGHT/AIM
Acoustical center of array at 2/3 height
point of screen. Aim at 1/3 point from back
wall in auditorium center.
Aim array with adjustment of the
two chain/wire ropes at rear of array.
SPL TARGET POINT
1/3 the length of the auditorium
from the back wall, center point.
Screen Bottom
The desired SPL at reference point will be
predetermined per auditorium format.
Klipsch recommends configuring a system that is
capable of handling an additional 10dB of headroom
at the reference point per format recommendation.
For example, Dolby Atmos recommends a SPL of 105db
(85dB + 20dB of headroom) at reference point. In this
scenario Klipsch recommends configuring a system
to be capable of 115dB at reference point, giving the
system 10dB of headroom per the auditorium format.
