SPEAKER PLACEMENT GUIDELINES +3 dB SPL and ADDED BASS Wall Positioning +3 dB SPL and ADDED BASS +3 dB SPL and ADDED BASS Speaker Spacing <=30 FT (9M) To maintain consistent volume levels across an area, space speakers on wall based on their 90 coverage patterns aimed down to listening area. To reduce phasing issues affecting sound quality, in areas up to 30 feet (9.1M) wide where speakers are mounted on opposite walls, stagger speakers so none directly face ones on the opposite wall.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT GUIDELINES (CONTINUED) Pole Mounting Inverse Square Law Using the 1/4”, 20-threaded inserts on the rear of the Klipsch CP speakers and pole mount brackets from a third party provider, the speakers can be mounted to light poles, etc. to cover a 360° pattern for areas such as parking lots indoor/ outdoor malls, etc.
