IP Series Speaker Placement

With OMAGE., realizing maximum sound performance is always the goal. The pivoting tweeters in OMAGE speakers are able to compensate for unusual placements. However, placing speakers at equal distance from the intended listening area and along a common wall is generally recommended as the ideal acoustical set-up. This helps to ensure the best stereo effect. Where the intended listening position may vary widely, speaker placement may be wherever is most convenient.

OMAGE custom install speakers are designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling.

DISTRIBUTED AUDIO PLACEMENT

OMAGE speakers posses extremely smooth predictable off-axis frequency response. The chart below shows how far apart the speakers can be placed in a distributed audio system. The valculations are based on +/- 45 degrees of coverage from the speaker, and listeners ear heights of 62” for standing and 40” for seated.

Speakers spacing	Standing Listener	Seated Listener
8 foot ceiling	5.7’	9.5’
10 foot ceiling	9.7’	13.5’
12 foot ceiling	13.7’	17.5’
14 foot ceiling	17.7’	21.5’

2 CHANNEL AUDIO PLACEMENT

In a standard two channel audio system, the speakers should be separated approximately 6 - 10 feet apart. If possible, the left and right speakers should be located the same distance from the listening position.

HOME THEATER PLACEMENT

When using the speakers as a rear channel speaker, the speakers should be located from 2 to 6 feet behind the main listening position. The speakers should be separated approximately 6 to 10 feet apart.
