Installing IR speakers?
Use the following guidelines when choosing where to put your IR-Speakers:

• Wallsshouldhaveaspaceapproximately10inwideby5intall(25x13cm)tosolidlymountthewallbracket.
• If the room has drop lighting, the speaker should be placed just below the bottom of the lights — the teacher should
be able to see at least one speaker from all parts of the room.
• IR speakers have a built-in sensor. Be sure to read the general guidelines for sensor and sensor cable
installation on page 24.
Place the Tower where it will face the center of the listening area and will allow connection to the teaching
computer and audio sources. With the help of an assistant, one of you should talk into the teacher microphone
while the other is sitting in the seats closest to the Tower. Set the master volume to a comfortable level for the
person seated.
Next, have one person stay at the front of the room and talk into the microphone while the other person walks to
the back of the room. When the volume in the back of the room becomes low enough to notice reduced intelligibility,
take note of the space. Install 2 or more speakers to cover the area not adequately covered by the Tower.
