USAGESUGGESTIONS
The acoustic characteristics of the room/environment in which a sound system is used
have sometimes very significant effects on the overall sound produced.
Thanks to its special technical features (such as the optimal width of its dispersion
range), with VERSE speakers some of the most common problems can be reduced or pre-
vented.
However, some factors should be borne in mind as they may help to optimise its per-
formance.
— Do not place speakers in the corners of a room or in recesses (e.g. niches), since this
causes an increase in the low frequencies, producing sounds which are redundant or
blurred.
— Do not place speakers against a wall, as this also causes an increase in the low fre-
quencies, although less pronounced than that produced in a corner or niche.
N.B.: on the other hand, this phenomenon may sometimes be used to advantage to
reinforce the low range, but it must be employed carefully and in a controlled way.
— Do not place speakers straight on a stage, a floating floor or any other support with
cavities, as this tends to trigger resonances that alter and interfere with the overall
sound.
N.B.: solid supports should always be used.
— Remember that high frequencies have a high level of directivity and a much higher ab-
sorption coefficient than low frequencies. Therefore, to guarantee that the signal
reaches the listener in an intelligible form, position speakers so that they are in a di-
rect line with the audience (clearly visible) about ½ metre / 1 metre above the audi-
ence’s heads.
— In buildings with a lot of reverberation (places of worship, gymnasiums, etc.) first of all
keep the sound reflections down using materials which absorb sound (carpets, cur-
tains, special panels, etc.). If this is not possible or is not sufficient, do not simply turn
up the volume, because this will also increase the volume of the reflected sound, and
may make the situation even worse. The best solution is to use more speakers, placed
around the room and closer to the audience (e.g. front+back; front+sides;
front+sides+back).
6. POWER AC-OUT: easily connects another VERSE speaker to the mains. Do not exceed
current limits. The mains cable provided with your OUTSIDER318 can supply up to
16A, hence it is possible to cascade up to 3 loudspeakers (including the one connected
to the mains).
7. POWER: Switches the power on/off.
8. MAINS IN: connects to the mains.
