- Page 8 SPEAKER HEIGHT / SPACING A speaker’s sensitivity specification gives you its Sound Pressure Level Speaker Sensitivity: 89 dB (SPL) output at one meter with one watt input. The accompanying If speaker wattage tap is 3.8 watts illustration shows how you can determine SPL output at a given distance based on the followingconstants that apply to sound: 1. Every time you DOUBLE THE POWER input to a speaker you 1 meter = 94 dB SPL increase its SPL by 3dB. 2. Every time you DOUBLE THE DISTANCE from a speaker you lose 6dB of SPL. 2 meters = 88 dB SPL Background Music Levels-SPL levels usually 3-6dB above ambient sounds, approximately 70-85dB SPL’s. 4 meters = 82 dB SPL Foreground Music Levels-10dB+ above ambient sounds, approximately 85-95dB SPL’s. Use an SPL meter during the businesses’ peak traffic hours to 1 meter = 3.3 ft determine ambient levels.
- Page 9 SPEAKER HEIGHT / SPACING Space speakers according to their coverage patterns and NOT their Overlap Spacing Ideal, but higher cost polar patterns. Speaker coverage patterns grow wider as their distances increase. Although overlapping speaker coverage patterns provide very consistent SPL’s over the entire area, they involve using more speakers for a higher system cost. An “Edge-To-Edge” pattern is more common using less speakers, especially with Background Music Systems. Edge-to-Edge Spacing More practical Speaker Coverage Pattern Overhead Speaker...
