V. MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
A. General Comments:
The following rules generally apply to screen loudspeakers:
1. They should be positioned vertically so that the horns are about two-thirds the height of the screen.
2. They should be placed so that the horn flanges are within a distance of 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 in) of the screen.
3. All reflective details, such as logos and polished transducer frames, should be painted matte black so that
they will not show through the screen.
4. Platforms for loudspeaker mounting should be rigid and completely free from rattles; all exposed
vertical surfaces should be finished with sound absorptive materials.
5. All other wall areas behind the screen should be finished with sound absorptive materials.
