ESD Ceiling Speaker - Installing the ESD Ceiling Speaker

Determining the Number of Speakers Needed and their
Location
When installed in a room with a standard ceiling height of 2.7m (8.8 feet), the
optimal distance between the speakers is about 10 meters. The speaker should be
installed lengthwise relative to the shape of the room. The example in
Figure 4
shows the ESD Ceiling Speaker installed in a 10m x 5m room. A 10m x 5m room
size requires only one ESD speaker for full room coverage rather than four
standard ceiling speakers.
Figure 4: Speaker Location in a Room—using ESD Speakers vs. using Standard Ceiling Speakers
To achieve optimum sound quality and ESD (Equal Sound Dispersion):
•
Select the appropriate output from the amplifier to use with the speaker
(either stereo or mono)
•
If the size of the room only requires a single speaker, we recommend using the
mono/stereo speaker model for speech and music (see
Figure 5
)
