    6 System design 6.1 System design principles Nexus 6 loudspeakers can be arrayed as a single pair facing forward to provide a wide stereo image. Figure 6.1: Nexus 6 pair arrangement For permanent installation, it is recommended to fly the Nexus 6 loudspeakers for more even coverage.
  • Page 14: Loudspeaker Placement And Positioning

    6 System design 6.2 Loudspeaker placement and positioning When deploying Nexus 6 loudspeakers, 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 15 Figure 6.5: Multi point loudspeaker arrangement In the horizontal plane rotate the Nexus 6 loudspeaker toward the audience area at an angle such that the centre line of the dispersion from each loudspeaker meets about two thirds of the way towards the rear of the audience area.
  • Page 16 6 System design Avoid directing the Nexus 6 loudspeakers 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.
