Theater Systems
 Selecting Screen Loudspeakers, Surround Loudspeakers and Subwoofers

Screen channel requirements
15” LF drivers in the 95 - 97 dB SPL sensitivity range (1 Watt at 1 meter)
LF power handling in the 300-watt range and…
HF systems with matching output capability

Low frequency driver count
 (per “screen” channel)
For houses with 150 seats or less, specify systems with one LF driver per channel
For houses with 150-to-500 seats, specify systems with two LF drivers per channel
For houses with more than 500 seats, specify systems with four LF drivers per channel

Low Frequency Applications

Placement of Screen Channels
Space horizontally to match the widest picture format
Elevate systems so that the  HF sections are up about 2/3 the screen height
Place the systems so that the HF elements are as close as possible to the screen
Paint matte black any reflecting surfaces

Elevated Speakers

“Toe-in” of screen loudspeakers
Regardless of whether the screen is curved or not, “toe” the outside loudspeakers inward so that their on-axis extensions intersect at a point 2/3 of the distance to the back wall

Horizontal “Spacing” of Screen Channel Systems

Downward tilt of HF elements
Tilt the HF elements downward so that they point at ear level at a distance 2/3 toward the back of the house

Surround channel requirements
Moderate power surrounds (dome tweeter):
Sensitivity: 91 dB SPL (1 W at 1 m)
Power Rating: 100 watts continuous
High power surrounds (compression driver):
Sensitivity: 96 dB SPL (1 W at 1 m)
Power Rating: 250 watts continuous
Maximum output difference: 9 dB

Which surround model to choose?
For houses with seating no greater than about 200 patrons, use either moderate or high power surrounds

How many surrounds?
In most houses the ideal number will be between 12 and 16
Normally, specify at least 4 surrounds on back wall
An exception here is in very small houses,     where there may be two on the back wall. In this case, a total of 8 surrounds may suffice (3 on each side; 2 at back)

How to position the surrounds
The front-most surrounds are normally 2/3 the distance from the back wall to the screen
The back-most side wall surrounds should be about 9 - 12 feet from the back wall

Surround height and aiming
Height should normally be 12 - 15 feet above the floor
The high frequency axis should be aimed at the    seats on the opposite wall

Be prepared for Surround EX
Ideally, the three surround channels should have the same output capacity, and this calls for an equal number of loudspeakers per channel
When possible, specify surrounds in a quantity divisible by 6 (12, 18 or 24) to ensure optimum paralleling

Selecting Surround Amplifiers
Choose stereo amplifiers with a generous 4-ohm power rating that equals twice the individual surround loudspeaker rating
For example, if using high-powered surrounds (250 watt @ 8 ohm), select a stereo amplifier that can deliver 500 watts per channel into 4-ohms

If you have followed these rules…
Surround coverage in the back 2/3 of the house will be uniform to ±2 dB
Fine tuning “drive” levels may further improve uniformity
In deep houses, be prepared to “zone” surrounds with delay to maintain proper front - back perspectives

Subwoofer channel requirements
Use 18-inch diameter drivers
Sensitivity: should be no less than about 97 dB,
(1 W, at 1 m)
Power ratings per driver should be no less than about 400 watts Continuous

How many subwoofer drivers
are needed?
A safe rule is to specify one sub driver for each 700 m3 of house volume
Always round up;  if your calculations then indicate 5 ˝ subs, use 6!
You can always specify more subs for greater impact

Subwoofer powering
We recommend driving each subwoofer transducer with its own amplifier channel
Choose amplifiers with an output rating commensurate with each transducer at its rated impedance

Subwoofer mounting
Mount the sub-woofers at the base of  the                   screen, as close as possible to the floor and wall intersection
Cluster the individual units together as                   tightly as possible in order to take maximum advantage of  their  “mutual coupling”
