8.3 Horn
Aiming
8.3.1 Vertical
Plane
In typical cinemas, best coverage is usually attained by aiming the high
frequency horn at the last row of seats. In more steeply raked "stadium"
style theatres, the horns may not require any tilt at all; in these cases, care
should be taken to minimise acoustically reflective surfaces in the rear wall
and ceiling surfaces.
8.3.2 Horizontal
Plane
All screen speakers should be aimed to converge at a point about 2/3 of
the length of the room.
