Speaker Layout Planning
The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM is designed to deliver a seamless,
evenly dispersed sound field in an ‘open air’ environment. An
array of multiple satellite speakers and a subwoofer should be
strategically placed to minimize ‘hot spots’ and ‘cold spots’ as
you move around the outdoor entertainment area. See Figure 1.
The satellites speakers should be placed from 6 to 8 feet (1.8 -
2.4 meters) apart for best coverage. To achieve the best balance
between the satellites and subwoofer, the subwoofer should be
placed as close to the center of the satellites as possible. If more
bass is required, placing the subwoofer near a wall or other solid
structure will greatly reinforce the low bass frequencies. In some
cases you may want to place the subwoofer closer to your primary
listening position.
The satellites in the SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM individually present
a 30 ohm load to the amplifier. When 4 of them are connected
on each amplifier channel in parallel, the load to the amplifier
is approximately 7.5 ohms. The satellites and subwoofer both
feature internal crossovers so the subwoofers impedance is not
combined with the satellites. The overall load presented to your
amplifier by the SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM will be around 7.5
ohms nominal.
PLEASE NOTE: The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM is not capable
of expansion. For coverage of a larger area, add additional
systems.
