SpotDAP Commercialism

How loud is SpotDAP?

At the current stage of development, SpotDAP can produce in excess of 85 dB of

 

 

peak audible sound at 1 meter. 

How does SpotDAP mount to a wall or other location?

A standard mounting bracket is available. However, many users

 

provide their own mounting brackets designed specifically for their 
unique application. 

Are there any mounting restrictions?

SpotDAP can be mounted just about anywhere indoors, provided the
environmental specifications are met. SpotDAP should be mounted securely so 
it remains “focused” or “aimed” in the correct direction. SpotDAP has no rear  
sound wave, and can be mounted directly on a wall or other hard surface
when adequate ventilation is provided. SpotDAP can also be embedded inside
other displays.

What is the usable frequency bandwidth of the audio?

Audio bandwidth is dependent primarily on the maximum audio SPL required
and secondarily on the size of the emitter array. The useful frequency range is  

400 Hz - 16 kHz. There are 3 EQ settings to adjust the audio tone of the SpotDAP

 

unit under different operating conditions. 

What is the warranty period?

SpotDAP systems from RSF are provided with a one-year limited warranty. 

How do I get SpotDAP service if required?

Please call RSF Technical Service at +352 49.74.20.40 or email [email protected]
to obtain authorization (RMA #) to return the unit for repair or replacement. 
See the warranty card provided with the SpotDAP unit for additional 

 

information.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Select an installation location that is consistent with the various 
environmental concerns on pages 2 and 3. Determine which mode the SpotDAP   
unit will be used in before selecting a location. Virtual Mode will require an
unbroken line of approach from the emitter of the SpotDAP unit to the area being 
used as a virtual speaker. Direct Mode requires a clear line of approach from
the SpotDAP unit to the point where the listener will be while hearing the audio

.     

 Place 

the SpotDAP unit so that the emitter is pointed at the spot where you wish audio 
to be heard. For maximum isolation of the sound point, consider mounting
the SpotDAP unit directly overhead of the listening point. 

If listeners who are near a sign, display or other object are to hear the sound 
as though a speaker was at that location, use Virtual Mode. This requires

location. 

Once the location for the SpotDAP unit is selected, choose the appropriate 
mounting hardware. Provide access for the audio source cables and AC/DC
