  • Page 22: System Design

    7 System design 7.1 System design principles Incubus Series loudspeakers can be arrayed as a single pair facing forward to provide a wide stereo image. Figure 7.1: Incubus pair arrangement For permanent installation, it is recommended to fly the Air Array loudspeakers for more even coverage.

  • Page 23: Loudspeaker Placement And Positioning

    7 System design 7.2 Loudspeaker placement and positioning When deploying Air Array 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 7 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 7.5 you can see the loudspeakers have been positioned and aimed optimally.
  • Page 25 7 System design Avoid directing the Air Array loudspeakers 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 7.7: Incorrect horizontal dispersion...
