  • Page 22: System Design

    6 System design 6.1 System design principles Venu loudspeakers can be arrayed as a single pair facing forward to provide a wide stereo image. Figure 6.1: Venu Series loudspeakers single pair arrangement For applications requiring wide horizontal coverage, use two Venu Series loudspeakers in pairs, angled at about 40°.

  • Page 23: High Frequency Loudspeaker Placement

    6 System design 6.2 High frequency loudspeaker placement and positioning When deploying Venu loudspeakers, it is important to consider the speakers’ vertical position to maximise coverage in the vertical axis. Horizontal loudspeaker dispersion figures dictate the coverage of the loudspeaker, left to right, to the -3 dB points.
  • Page 24 6 System design A multi-point loudspeaker system in a club/bar environment can be very pleasing for the listener. However, it’s important that the processes applied to previous examples are still implemented. In figure 6.6 you can see the loudspeakers have been positioned and aimed optimally.
  • Page 25 6 System design Avoid directing the Venu Series loudspeaker straight forward. This will result in a proportion of the power being directed towards the walls, creating possible reflective issues, as well as causing a gap in coverage at the centre of the audience area. Audience Stage Figure 6.8: Incorrect horizontal dispersion...

Taking measurement on site and using your ear are still the most reliable way to achieve the best results. When designing loudspeakers and low frequency enclosures layout within a space it is often necessary to apply delay to optimise system...
