 EVID 12.1P User Manual

9

Higher-level foreground music in bass heavy applications such

as dance floors, amusement arcades, or loud bars: use one pair
of EVID™ 6.2’s for each 12.1P.

For example, a large hotel might use eight 3.2’s and two 12.1P’s

in the dining room, eight 4.2’s and two 12.1P’s in the lounge, four

6.2’s with two 12.1P’s surrounding the dance floor, 6.2’s around

the pool, 6.2’s or 4.2s with or without 12.1P’s in the lobby, and
3.2’s in the corridors.

Characteristics of All Subwoofers

While subwoofers do radiate sound omni-directionally (in all directions)

and the sound is generally non-localizable (one can’t hear exactly where

it comes from), subwoofer sound level still drops off the farther one

moves from the subwoofer. The highest output and best room loading

are accomplished with the subwoofer mounted in a corner at a three-

boundary junction (wall/wall/ceiling or wall/wall/floor, an arrangement

also referred to as 1/8 space). Mounting at a two-boundary junction (wall/

ceiling, or 1/4 space) produces three dB less output, and mounting in the

middle of a room in the ceiling (1/2 space) reduces output still another

three dB.

Subwoofers produce large amounts of long wavelength low-frequency

energy. Every object has its own resonant frequency, and long

wavelengths tend to excite large objects (like walls, floors, doors and

ceiling panels). Anything loose in or on a ceiling or wall will buzz or rattle

as a subwoofer’s level is increased. Most of these can be isolated and

fixed with small, strategically placed bits of foam tape. Others may

require driving additional nails or screws and perhaps some caulking to

dampen their sympathetic movement.
