Usage Suggestions - Verse EDGE 500 Bedienungsanleitung

The acoustic characteristics of the room/environment in which a sound system is used
have sometimes very significant effects on the overall sound produced.
Thanks to its special technical features (such as the optimal width of its dispersion range),
with the EDGE 500 some of the most common problems can be reduced or prevented.
However, some factors should be borne in mind as they may help to optimise its
performance.
• Do not place speakers in the corners of a room or in recesses (e.g. niches), since
this causes an increase in the low frequencies, producing sounds which are redundant
or blurred.
• Do not place speakers against a wall, as this also causes an increase in the low
frequencies, although less pronounced than that produced in a corner or niche.
N.B.: on the other hand, this phenomenon may sometimes be used to advantage to
reinforce the low range, but it must be employed carefully and in a controlled way.
• Do not place speakers straight on a stage, a floating floor or any other support with
cavities, as this tends to trigger resonances that alter and interfere with the overall
sound.
N.B.: solid supports should always be used when possible, or a speaker stand.
• Remember that high frequencies have a high level of directivity and a much higher
absorption coefficient than low frequencies. Therefore, to guarantee that the signal
reaches the listener in an intelligible form, position speakers so that they are in a
direct line with the audience (clearly visible) about ½ metre / 1 metre above the
audience's heads.
• In buildings with a lot of reverberation (places of worship, gymnasiums, etc.) first of
all keep the sound reflections down using materials which absorb sound (carpets,
curtains, special panels, etc.). If this is not possible or is not sufficient, do not simply
turn up the volume, because this will also increase the volume of the reflected sound,
and may make the situation even worse. The best solution is to use more speakers,
placed around the room and closer to the audience (e.g. front+back; front+sides;
front+sides+back).
