KIN Architectural
GENERAL SPEAKER PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Totem Kin Architectural series diffuse sound in an enormously wide, expansive manner
comparable to a flood light and illuminate a room with Totem’s holographic sound whereas
most others function like a focused, narrow spotlight, creating small acoustic “hot spots”.
Kin Architectural custom speakers disperse at 75 degrees, almost twice as broadly as
competitive speakers. The soundstage and acoustic coverage is totally present throughout
the entire listening area, so it takes fewer Totem speakers to thoroughly fill a room than
competitive brands. In-walls create a soundstage with remarkable height and width, often
beyond the boundaries of the room itself. The enormous dispersion of the in-ceilings allows
the listener to enjoy the same sound whether a seated or standing, simplifying placement.
The following chart for in-ceiling speaker spacing was calculated using the following formula:
ANGLE (dispersion) x .018 x DISTANCE (ceiling height) =SOUND COVERAGE radius
