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

Figure 3 shows the difference in coverage area using the spacing rules for monosignals. Using the same four speakers as we did in Figure 1, we can increase ourcoverage 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 sound...
