  • Page 14: System Design Principles

    For temporary installation, a popular system configuration is two stacks consisting of a Stasys Xair on its end, with an Air Vantage and ground-stack board. This raises the Air Vantage to a useful height above the audience, and the sensitivity of the Stasys Xair matches the Air Vantage well.
  • Page 15 For permanent installation, it is recommended to fly Air Vantage for more even coverage. This also allows co-located low frequency enclosures in a single block, increasing sensitivity and providing more consistent bass coverage.

  • Page 16: Loudspeaker Placement And Positioning

    6 System design 6.3 Loudspeaker placement and positioning When deploying Air Vantage, 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 17 Figure 6.7: Multi point loudspeaker arrangement In the horizontal plane rotate the Air Vantage 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 18 6 System design Avoid directing the Air Vantage 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.
