  • Page 20: System Design Principles

    7 System design 7.1 System design principles Indigo 6s/Pro loudspeakers can be arrayed as a single pair facing forward to provide a wide stereo image. Figure 7.1: Indigo 6s/Pro loudspeakers single pair arrangement For applications requiring wide horizontal coverage, use two Indigo 6s/Pro loudspeakers in pairs, angled at about 40°.
  • Page 21 7 System design 7.2 Loudspeaker placement and positioning When deploying Indigo 6s/Pro, it is important to consider the speakers’ vertical position to maximise coverage in the vertical axis. Horizontal loudspeaker dispersion figures dictate the coverage of the loudspeaker, left to right, to the -3 dB points.
  • Page 22 Stage Figure 7.7: Correct horizontal dispersion Avoid directing the Indigo 6s/Pro loudspeaker straight forward. This will result in a proportion of the power being directed towards the walls, creating possible reflective issues, as well as causing a gap in coverage at the centre of the audience area.
  • Page 23 7 System design In figure 7.9 the loudspeakers vertical positioning is too low for the audience area. Mid and high range frequencies are absorbed by the first two rows of people, resulting in poor coverage and potential acoustic issues from room reflections. Figure 7.9: Incorrect loudspeaker placement Figure 7.10 shows the loudspeaker vertical position is optimal for the audience area but the user hasn’t applied an aiming angle.
  • Page 24 7 System design 7.3 Bass alignment - delay times Note: All information given here is a guide and not a rule. Taking measurement on site and using your ear are still the most reliable way to achieve the best results. When designing loudspeakers and low frequency enclosures layout within a space it is often necessary to apply delay to optimise system...
