3. Speaker Positions
The appropriate positions for Studio Series speakers within
the installation space will depend on their application. Position
guidelines and diagrams for Studio Series in-ceiling and in-wall
models are covered in the following sections and illustrated in the
accompanying diagrams.
3.1 Background Audio
In-ceiling and In-wall Speakers:
If one or more Studio Series
speakers are required simply to provide mono background
audio, they can be located essentially as dictated by coverage,
convenience and architecture. The primary acoustic constraint
to consider is that corner positions are likely to result in bass
emphasis.
The S4-DVC65 in-ceiling speaker is particularly suited to
background sound applications as it can play stereo audio from a
single unit.
3.2 Stereo Audio
In-ceiling Speakers:
If a pair of Studio Series in-ceiling speakers
are required for stereo audio reproduction, they should ideally be
located between 3 m (10 ft) and 5 m (16.5 ft) apart and a similar
distance from listening area.
Note:
The S4-DVC65 in-ceiling speaker can also be used to
reproduce stereo audio thanks to its twin tweeter and dual voice-
coil format. Single S4-DVC65 units are however unable to create
conventional stereo images.
In-wall Speakers:
If a pair of Studio Series in-wall speakers
are required for stereo audio reproduction, they should ideally be
located between 3 m (10 ft) and 5 m (16.5 ft) apart and a similar
distance from the listening area. They should ideally be mounted
approximately at head height when seated at the listening position
or slightly higher.
Note:
The acoustic environment around each speaker and distance
from each one to adjacent walls should ideally be similar. Aim to
avoid corner positions for either speaker.
