  • Page 13: System Design

    *100 Hz Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB 6.2 System design principles Airten loudspeakers can be arrayed as a single pair facing forward to provide a wide stereo image. Figure 6.1: Airten single pair arrangement For applications requiring wide horizontal coverage, use two Airten in pairs, angled at about 35°.
  • Page 14 For temporary installation, a popular system configuration is two stacks consisting of Stasys 118, with an Airten on a pole mount. This raises the Airten to a useful height above the audience, and the sensitivity of the Stasys 118 matches the Airten well. This system is suitable for events of up to 250 people.

  • Page 15: Loudspeaker Placement And

    6 System design 6.3 Loudspeaker placement and positioning When deploying Airten, 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 16 6 System design Figure 6.7: Multi point loudspeaker arrangement In the horizontal plane rotate the Airten toward the audience area at an angle such that the centre line of the dispersion from each loudspeaker meets about two thirds of the way towards the rear of the audience area.

  • Page 17: Positioning

    6 System design Avoid directing the Airten 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.
