6.2 Placement

Vertical aiming

Fig 6.2-1 Poor vertical aiming

Avoid aiming your F81 straight over the audience’s heads as this will increase room effects causing poor

impact and intelligibility.

Even if the room has good acoustical properties, your audience will enjoy far better sound quality if the

system is aiming towards them.

Mounting your F81 systems 2.8 – 3.3m above the floor and aiming them towards head height about

2/3rds across the audience will provide smooth coverage without over-exciting the room.

Fig 6.2-2 Improved vertical aiming

Audience members near the F81s will benefit from their smooth vertical mid-high characteristics. These

listeners will still enjoy the F81s’ rich, broadband sound, but the subtle off-axis roll-off will compensate

for proximity.
