Selecting Screen Loudspeakers, Surround Loudspeakers and
Subwoofers |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
Tilt the HF elements downward so that they point
at ear level at a distance 2/3 toward the back of the house |
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
For houses with seating no greater than about
200 patrons, use either moderate or high power 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) |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
Height should normally be 12 - 15 feet above the
floor |
|
|
|
The high frequency axis should be aimed at
the seats on the opposite wall |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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” |
