SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Distributed Audio Placement (Mono signal)

All Sonance Symphony TR- and TSQ-series speaker models have very smooth and predictable off-axis response, so they provide excellent coverage in distributed audio systems from a wide variety of installation locations. The chart in Figure 1 shows how far apart the speakers can be placed at different ceiling heights while still providing good coverage (as shown in Figure 2). The distances are based on ear heights of 62” for standing listeners and 40” for seated listeners.

Speaker Spacing (in feet) for a Distributed Audio System

10-foot ceiling	9.7'	13.5'
