Speaker position

General

Here are a couple of tips for you
about lining the speakers up,
before you start the installation.
The speaker is designed to
achieve the optimum reproduction
if walls and room corners are at
least 0.5 meters from the speaker.
A shorter distance leads to
resonance in the bass ranges and
to booming effects.
There should be about 30 mm
free space to the side behind the
fitted opening so that the rotary
tensioner can be got into position
(see drawing).
** ICS 80 / IWS 80
Ideal fitting volume:
Inceiling 50/ 80: ≥ 10 litres (dm
Inwall 51 / 80: ≥ 25 litres (dm
Ducting warning
There shouldn't be any loose
ducting in the fitting recess as
these could vibrate with the
speakers. This would result in a
permanent background noise.

Large room speaker
assignment
In the case of large rooms, we
recommend that you distribute
several speakers throughout the
room rather than just installing a
single speaker. Here, the total
impedance must be taken into
account. The possible switching
options of two or more speakers
are explained in the following
chapter The total impedance of
speakers. The important factors
in relation to the maximum
volume are the membrane cone
area and the sensitivity of the
speaker, measured as dB per
watt in 1m distance.
In general, the following rule is
valid: the larger the speaker and
the greater the amount of volume
available to it, the lower the
deepest limit frequency.
Usage as Home Cinema

surround speaker

The sound from the surround
speakers should be as diffused
as possible. As a rule, the
speakers should be positioned
behind the listener and at least
0.6 metres above ear level.
Ceiling installation in this case
leads to good results. The
positioning is less important with
surround speaker usage than in
other cases.
