Introduction to the Dolby DSR1090 Speaker Introduction to the Dolby DSR1090 Speaker The DSR1090 is a high-performance cinema surround speaker for use in 5.1 and Dolby Surround 7.1 cinema auditoriums, as well as small to medium-sized Dolby Atmos equipped auditoriums. The DSR1090 provides a 90°...
Holes on the sides of the speaker cabinet are provided for installation of a mounting yoke. 2.3 DSR1090 preinstallation information In a typical auditorium, the DSR1090 is installed in various locations throughout the auditorium, including possible locations on side and rear walls, and overhead locations. Information is provided on the placement of the DSR1090 in a standard auditorium and in a Dolby Atmos auditorium.
Figure 3: Dolby Atmos installation 2.3.1 Placing the DSR1090 on a wall or ceiling You can attach the DSR1090 to a wall or ceiling. For 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Surround auditoriums, you should follow standard industry practices for speaker Dolby Atmos placement and aiming.
Introduction to the Dolby DSR1090 Speaker Figure 4: Horizontal aiming for side and rear surrounds 2.3.3 Determining vertical aiming for side and rear speakers For side and rear surround speakers, you should tilt the speakers vertically to orient the axis of each speaker to the ear height of a seated listener in the farthest seat.
It is important that you select the correct wire gauge for the DSR1090. Typically, no more than 0.5 dB (or 11%) of power should be lost in the cabling. The DSR1090 input plates accept an American Wire Gauge (AWG) of 18 AWG to 6 AWG (1 mm to 16 mm ).
2.6 DSR1090 design simulations There are .gll files that you can use to simulate the DSR1090 in acoustical simulation software. You can download a folder (Dolby_Surround_DSR1090_GLL_Files.zip) that contains the .gll files at https://professional.dolby.com/product/cinema-audio-products/DSR1090/. To run the .gll files, use EASE or EASE Focus software.

Assembling and installing the DSR1090 Assembling and installing the DSR1090 Instructions are provided for assembling and installing the DSR1090. Each section of instructions specifies the tools that are necessary to complete the required tasks. Caution: Dolby disclaims any liability, including damage or injury, for the use of mounting hardware, supports, and brackets not supplied by Dolby.
3.1 Installing a bracket You can install the DSR1090 using an industry-standard speaker bracket that is designed to support the weight of the speaker and is in compliance with Section 2.4 in this manual or the optional YK1090 yoke or MMA1090 multipoint.
3.2 Installing a yoke You can install the DSR1090 using an using industry-standard speaker bracket that is designed to support the weight of the speaker and is in compliance with Section 2.4 in this manual or the optional YK1090 yoke or MMA1090 multipoint.
2. Align the laser level with the top of the speaker. You may find that there is some side-to-side drift, but this will not affect how you obtain the vertical angle. 3. Angle the DSR1090 vertically until the laser is directed at the specified aiming point, as shown in the following figure.
Attention: To properly fit into the DSR1090 threaded inserts the eyebolt must contain a threaded shaft that is at least 20 mm long. Based on the weight of the DSR1090 (31 lb [14 kg]), all installer- supplied safety rigging hardware must be rated at a minimum 5:1 safety factor, or greater if a higher requirement is mandated per local laws.
Consult building plans and a licensed professional engineer, and follow all local laws for overhead mounting. 3.5 Connecting and configuring the DSR1090 About this task After mounting the DSR1090 to the building structure and connecting a safety cable, you must follow instructions for connecting and configuring the DSR1090. Required tool: Wire stripper Caution: Turn off all amplifiers when connecting speaker wiring.

Note: In 5.1 and Dolby Surround 7.1 installations, it may be better to daisy-chain (series/parallel) several DSR1090 speakers. You can do this by twisting the wire pairs and inserting them into the input connector following steps 3 and 4 of the preceding procedure. When daisy-chaining speakers, always verify that the driving amplifier specifications rate the amplifier at the appropriate level to handle the resulting load impedance of the combined daisy-chained speakers.
