4.3Determining the Number of Speakers Needed and their Location

When installed in a room with a standard ceiling height of 2.7m (8.8 feet), the optimal distance between the speakers is about 10 meters. The speaker should be installed lengthwise relative to the shape of the room. The example in Figure 4 shows the ESD Ceiling Speaker installed in a 10m x 5m room. A 10m x 5m room size requires only one ESD speaker for full room coverage rather than four standard ceiling speakers.

Figure 4: Speaker Location in a Room—using ESD Speakers vs. using Standard Ceiling Speakers

To achieve optimum sound quality and ESD (Equal Sound Dispersion):

Select the appropriate output from the amplifier to use with the speaker (either stereo or mono)

If the size of the room only requires a single speaker, we recommend using the

mono/stereo speaker model for speech and music (see Figure 5)
