1. Approach 1 Maximum listening area When a large listening area is desired an angle of around 3 is recommended When you move away from the loudspeaker the sound pressure level will be decreased This decrease depends on the reverberation of the room in which the speaker is placed If you want the high tones to be clearly audible make sure the listener is able to see the loudspeaker array Valid for angles up to 3 EE TTT AE Listening area Approach 2 Minimal variation in sound pressure level When a minimal variation in sound pressure level is desired an angle of 5 is ideal The size of the total listening area becomes smaller compared to the previous approach The space nearby the loudspeaker A does not belong to the listening area Diagram 1 shows the relationship between A and the mounting height of the loudspeaker when using an angle of 5 Valid for an angle from 5 to 10 Listening area AUDAC 7 Co ESI ES EP E E PT E decease opas p p EDT een gc ges p BESS BEES ELE BEBE EDd BF pepen ss pur Eo op SSA TE ER I T bo T 808 8 D DR DEL E ERI D r mM B i Bi m B Pa Es ES E 18 sica LA v Ea EE BH EE EE ES EE pe EE t o R4 2 7 v c o D c fo 9 2 c o E o a x e o X T ERE ERI D D DE DDR ERI DER RR ELE pg ese RRR 3 E EI E ER PIE d E I DES E ER et D NIIT DE UO E DL i ppp ep DO 0 A Psi USI O E2.

3. recycling centre for electrical and electronic waste This will make to sure that it will be recycled on an environmentally friendly manner and will help to protect the environment in which we all live AUDAC Chapter 1 Installation To achieve the best possible intelligibility and sound quality with a column speaker you need to pay extra attention so that the mounting of the speaker is done properly The dimensions of the desired listening area have to be determined from which the correct mounting height and angle can be derived A step by step installation procedure describes the method to determine the mounting height and angle for the AXIR DETERMINING LISTENING AREA AND MOUNTING HEIGHT STEP 1 Determine the dimensions of the desired Listening Area This is a horizontal plane at the same level as the listeners ears Refer to the dashed line in following figure dua DI r ai STEP 2 Now that the listening area is known determine at which angle the loudspeaker array should be mounted The AXIR column speaker was designed to aim the sound just above the heads of the listeners and it is recommended not to exceed an angle of 6 There are two different approaches to determine the mounting angle each with specific advantages and disadvantages Which approach you choose depends on what you want to achieve a maximum listening area or a minimal variation in sound pressure level 6 AUDAC
4. Chapter 2 Connecting the AXIR 0 The rear side of the AXIR O contains a special 5 pin waterproof AWX 5 connector This allows the connection of the loudspeaker to the amplifier output For connecting the loudspeaker the included connection cable should always be used The white conductor of the connection cable should always be connected to the COM output of the amplifier and the black conductor should always be connected to the positive terminal of the amplifier output Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables Power settings The power settings of the AXIR O can be made by adjusting the rotation angle for the waterproof connector on the rear side of the loudspeaker A dot on the connector AXIR OB part indicates the currently selected power Cutter Column Speaker tapping The power settings corresponding with the position of the dot are indicated at the sticker on the rear side of the loudspeaker The power impedance selection of the loudspeaker can be set in 3 adjustable steps of impedance for 100V 40 Watt 20 Watt 10 Watt and 1 step for 6 Ohm standard low impedance applications CE X ipss 1 6 Ohm 120 Watt 40 Watt 250 Ohm 20 Watt 500 Ohm 10 Watt 1000 Ohm 2 3 4 When the loudspeaker is connected to 70 7V facilities the power indicated in the table above will be reduced to half the power and when connected to 50V facilities the power will be reduced to a quarter When the desired

9. rge listening area can be achieved Depending on the amount of reverberation in the room and the sound sha dow the speech intelligibility on a far position may be low In this situation it is recom mended to use more loudspeaker arrays to split the listening area When you move further than the maximum position of the listening area further than the maximum distance of the loudspeaker array only the sound pressure level will de crease There will be almost no tone height variation The decreasing factor of the sound pressure level depends strongly on the reverberation of the room When you are located too close to the loudspeaker array closer than the minimum distance a decline of the high tones will occur very soon Because the loudspeakers are designed to beam the sound just above the listeners ears it s better to mount the speakers not to high above the listening area When you want to determine where exactly the edges of the listening area are located in your situation you have to do a practical test at this location This is a job for an ex perienced listener with well trained ears Put pink noise through the loudspeaker array and reduce the lower tones for this test because they do not contribute to speech intel ligibility Walk around in the listening area and pay attention to the high tones The places where the high tones decrease rapidly are the edges of the listening area AUDAC
