Speaker Layout

The layout of the speakers should be planned prior to
installation. Because wall baffle speakers are designed
START
SPEAKER
to project forward, it is best to aim them in the same
direction, as this provides for both greater coverage and
clarity. You can use the buildingʼs roof pillars or other
10'
available supports for mounting the wall baffles.
In some cases, it may be necessary to mount the wall
baffles on opposing walls. In these cases, the speakers
will project sound in opposing directions.
20'
HALLWAY/ROOM - Wall baffle speakers work well with
rooms and hallways that are 20ʼ to 60ʼ wide. Layout
starts at one end of the hallway or room. The first
speaker should be installed 10ʼ from the end of the
WALL
hallway or room. The next speaker on that wall should
be installed 20ʼ from the first speaker, as should any
additional speakers required to cover the length of the
hallway or room.
A=10 feet The first speaker on the opposing wall should be
START B=20 feet
installed 20ʼ from the end of the hallway or room, there-
by staggering the speakers. Each additional speaker
should also be installed 20ʼ apart from the previous one.
See Figure 1.

OPEN AREA - The number of speakers needed to
cover an open area and the layout of those speakers is
contingent upon the availability of suitable mounting
points in the area to be covered.
Layout starts in one corner of the room. The first speaker
should be installed 10ʼ from the wall with each addition-
al speaker in the first row installed in increments of
20ʼ from the first. Based on Figure 2, install the next
row of speakers 30ʼ from the first row and 20ʼ from the
wall with increments of 20ʼ between each speaker.
The third row would follow the example of the first and
SPEAKER
each additional row would continue this pattern of alter-
nating rows until the whole area is covered.
