SST Models
Because a single SST speaker reproduces both stereo channels
from a single location, it will deliver outstanding performance
from a wide variety of mounting locations where a pair of stereo
speakers would be impractical, including hallways, bathrooms
and closets.
The table below shows how far apart SST speakers can be
spaced in distributed audio applications while still providing
good coverage for standing and seated listeners (see Figure 1 ).
