Chapter 1

Installation

Toachievethebestpossibleintelligibilityandsoundqualitywithacolumnspeaker,youneed

topayextraattentionsothatthemountingofthespeakerisdoneproperly.Thedimensions

ofthedesiredlisteningareahavetobedeterminedfromwhichthecorrectmountingheight

andanglecanbederived.

Astepbystepinstallationproceduredescribesthemethodtodeterminethemountingheight

andanglefortheAXIR.

DETERMINING LISTENING AREA AND MOUNTING HEIGHT



STEP 1:

DeterminethedimensionsofthedesiredListeningArea.Thisisahorizontalplaneatthe

samelevelasthelistenersears.Refertothedashedlineinfollowingfigure.

STEP 2:

Nowthatthelisteningareaisknown,determineatwhichangletheloudspeakerarray

shouldbemounted.TheAXIRcolumnspeakerwasdesignedtoaimthesoundjust

abovetheheadsofthelisteners,anditisrecommendednottoexceedanangleof6°.

Therearetwodifferentapproachestodeterminethemountingangle,eachwithspecific

advantagesanddisadvantages.Whichapproachyouchoose,dependsonwhatyouwant

toachieve:amaximumlisteningareaoraminimalvariationinsoundpressurelevel.



- Approach 1: Maximum listening area

Whenalargelisteningareaisdesired,anangleofaround3°isrecommended.When

youmoveawayfromtheloudspeaker,thesoundpressurelevelwillbedecreased.This

decreasedependsonthereverberationoftheroominwhichthespeakerisplaced.

Ifyouwantthehightonestobeclearlyaudible,makesurethelistenerisabletoseethe

loudspeakerarray.

- Approach 2: Minimal variation in sound pressure level

Whenaminimalvariationinsoundpressurelevelisdesired,anangleof5°isideal.The

sizeofthetotallisteningareabecomessmallercomparedtothepreviousapproach.The

spacenearbytheloudspeaker‘A’doesnotbelongtothelisteningarea.

(Diagram1showstherelationshipbetween‘A’andthemountingheightofthe

loudspeakerwhenusinganangleof5°)

STEP 3:

Whenyou’vechosenoneoftheapproachesabovetodetermineyourmountingangle,you

proceedbydeterminingthemountingheight.Thisheightisdeterminedbyaimingthe0°

axisoftheAXIRinthedesiredposition,preciselyabovetheearlevelofthelistenerwho’s

thefurthestawayfromthespeaker.Thiscanbeadjustedbymountingtheloudspeaker

higherandloweronthewall.

STEP 4:

Whenyou’vedeterminedthemountingangleandheight,youcanstartinstallingthe

speaker.

OTHER POINTS TO PAY ATTENTION TO:

Whilemountingacolumnspeaker,therearestillsomeotherpointsyouneedtopay
