Satellite Location Selection
the Sonance Landscape Series is designed to deliver a seamless,
evenly dispersed sound field in an ‘open air’ environment. An array
of multiple satellite speakers and subwoofers should be strategically
placed to minimize ‘hot spots’ and ‘nulls’ as you move around the
outdoor entertainment area. See Figure 1.
As a general guideline, (1) satellite will cover about 250
square feet of listening area
Select locations for the satellites that are as close as possible to the
same distance from the main listening area. When possible use high
and low locations to centralize the acoustic stage. See figure 2
Amplifier power planning
the maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can be
used in a system will depend on the quantity of amplifier power
available.
Before beginning an installation use the chart below to calculate
the amplifier power your installation will require. Multiple
amplifiers may be required in large installations.
