Convention Paper

A Graphical Method for Choosing and Aiming Loudspeakers for Reinforcement

Authors: Tappan, Peter W.

AES Convention 78 · Paper 2256 · May 1985

Abstract

A simple transparent template laid over an architectural plan drawing shows required angular coverage, loudspeaker aim angles and variations of SPL due to distance. Then, after tentative choice of loudspeakers and aiming, the resulting relative SPL at various seats may be plotted quickly if the dispersion characteristics of the loudspeakers are known.
