Layout Judgment
Set the defining parameters for “Pattern”, “Bandwidth” and “Center Frequency” from the list boxes and choose a
density.
Pattern:
Select either “Rectangular” or “Hexagonal” as a layout pattern for speakers on a flat surface.
Band Width, Center Frequency:
Set the bandwidth and frequency used to calculate the coverage area. Although the narrower bandwidths allow
closer distributions to the desired frequencies, they are also subject to more extreme distribution changes caused by
interference and other factors. The default setting is 2 Oct. Band, 1 kHz, which should cope with most vocal
bandwidths
Density:
Set the density of the coverage area on the receiving surface. Take the distance between the receiving surface and
the plane where the speakers are located (the height, for speakers installed in the ceiling) when setting this parameter.
Generally, higher ceilings mean increased distances between speakers, so you should select high density to achieve
sound pressure above a constant level.
Speaker Arrangement
Angle (Relative):
Set the angle of the speaker when seen from the plane. Default settings are Pan (0.0), Tilt (90.0), and Rot (0.0),
indicating that the speaker’s rear is flat against the plane. The available range is -180.0 to 180.0.
Offset from plane:
Set the offset of the speaker from the wall. The default setting is (0.00), indicating that the speaker’s rear is flat against
the plane. The available range is -90.00 m to 90.00 m (-295.0 ft to 295.0 ft).
