Side and Rear Setup for Peripheric Systems
For peripheric designs, side and rear may comprise between 10 and 14 speakers for
mid-size venues (400 to 1000 seats). For larger venues, or specific installations,
please contact your distributor.
Loudspeaker should be spread at approximately equal distances for optimum
coverage of the listening area. They may preferably 2-4 m located above audience
level for optimum performance.
The speakers should have the diversion and the mounted angle that each of them
largely covers the whole listening area.
Subwoofers
Subwoofers can be added to complete the loudspeaker system in the lower
frequency range. The Sonic Wave I processor will drive them as dedicated speaker
system.
WFS Support Speakers
WFS support speakers are added to a main frontal system. Their task is to improve
the level coverage in the listening area. They usually face the same direction as the
frontal system. WFS support speakers are - for example - additional delayed
speakers further back in a room or under a theatre balcony, additional speakers
above a stage with an array of WFS main speakers on its platform edge…etc.
Speaker Requirements
The goal of the Sonic Emotion’s Absolute 3D sound reproduction is to enlarge the
acoustic sweet spot to the whole audience listening area. The ideal speaker for this
application has a very wide horizontal diffusion (90 ° or more), the vertical diffusion
is large enough to cover the nearest listening position to the one furthest away.
In some cases, a minimum of 5 speakers will be reproducing an audible event. High
power handling has to be thought of in choosing the speakers.
