Figure 1 shows how this would work for a square area of 28 feet by 20 feet and using stereo signals. Using our spacing rules as shown in Table 1 , leads to the need for four speakers. The loudspeaker coverage pattern is shown in the diagram. Figure 2 shows the same area as Figure 1 , however the num...

Figure 3 shows the difference in coverage area using the spacing rules for mono signals. Using the same four speakers as we did in Figure 1, we can increase our coverage area from 560 square feet (52 sq. meters) to 960 square feet (88.3 sq. meters), simply by using a mono source. The trade off in so...

• You will need 2-conductor speaker cable that clearly identifies each conductor in the cable. If burying your cable in the ground is required, use cable rated for direct burial or run cable through PVC pipe. Always use moisture resistant cable. • After calculating the length of cable needed for eac...

4. Connect one stripped end of the speaker cable coming from the amplifier to the RS5 connection cable’s red wire. To connect the two wires, twist the stripped ends of the wire together and screw down the wire nut on the twisted wires. The material inside the wire nut will protect the stripped ends ...

Page 13 - Verify System Operation and Loudspeaker Coverage

check to make sure that the conductors on each loudspeaker are attached the same on the loudspeaker and the amplifier. If you cannot see any markings or determine if they are all attached the same, try this simple test: 1. Point the speakers at each other, rather than at the area you want to cover. ...

4. If you used a volume control between the amplifier and the speakers, verify that it is controlling the volume of the loudspeakers in its zone. Repeat this for every volume control in the system. If it is not, correct the wiring. 5. Point the loudspeakers per the layout and verify that the sound i...

OPERATION Listening at Higher Volumes Outdoors there are no walls to reflect and contain the sound and typically the ambient noise level is louder. This causes the system to require more power to achieve a reasonable listening level than it does when you are listening indoors. In addition, you are f...
