Loudspeaker Placement

Choosing the best location

When using any loudspeaker system certain room parameters will affect the resultant sound quality and coverage. For example, any boundary like a wall or floor will lift certain frequencies. If you are placing speakers in a corner, then a lift at the bass end is to be expected and it may sound rather ‘boomy’. This can be compensated for by moving the speaker or cutting low frequencies with an equaliser.

NuQ series speakers are designed to be flown in free space or mounted on specialist wall and ceiling brackets. When speakers are flown in free space then boundary effects are minimised. The result is a smooth frequency response without any boost at odd frequencies, but the bass end may appear subjectively light. In this case increase the sub- bass level to bring the low end up or add sub bass enclosures as necessary.

Dispersion

NuQ series enclosures are designed to provide respectably wide horizontal coverage; NuQ-8 and NuQ-10 offer 100° and the NuQ-12 and NuQ-15 offer 80° of horizontal dispersion respectively. This allows the majority of live sound applications to be covered with single enclosures placed individually to take advantage of this performance feature, for example either side of a stage in a pub, or small club environment, as shown here.
