INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONSINSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONSTools and Materials Required• A wire stripper• 1/2" PVC conduit (optional)• PVC conduit glue and cleaner (optional)• PVC cutting tool• Trench digger or shovel• Tube of silicon sealant (optional)• Cable (length and type determined by installation site – see “Choosing theSpeaker Cable”)Selecting the number and location for your speakersThe <strong>RS6</strong> loudspeaker can be installed directly on the ground, in a flowerbed, on awood deck or on a concrete/stone patio. There are two considerations for placingthe loudspeaker, ease of running the cable to the loudspeaker and coverage of theloudspeaker. The <strong>RS6</strong> loudspeaker will cover an area of a circle with a 20-footdiameter, in front of the speakers.If you are using stereo outputs from the amplifier, alternate the speakers to providethe best imaging. You should place speakers less than 10 feet from the sides of thelistening area and 15 feet from each other. The row spacing should not be greaterthan 25 feet. These loudspeaker spacing rules are the recommended maximums;placing speakers at a greater distance apart will negatively affect sound coverageand reduce their stereo effect. Placing speakers closer together will improve soundcoverage and produce more stereo coverage.Figure 1 Stereo Coverage 4 speakers5
Figure 1 shows how this would work for a square area of 35 feet by 25 feetand using stereo signals. Using our spacing rules as shown in Table 1,leads to the need for four loudspeakers. The loudspeaker coverage pattern isshown in the diagram.INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONSFigure 2 Stereo Coverage 6 speakersFigure 2 shows the same area as Figure 1, however the number of speakers hasincreased by 2. You can see a greater area of stereo coverage and this would alsohave a more even sound level across the listening area. This illustratesthe fact that not using the maximum spacing allowed leads to improvedsound quality.Achieving high quality stereo coverage in a large area is costly. You need to usemore speakers and more amplifier power or separate amplifiers. If a large area needsto be covered, consider using a summed stereo or mono signal for each speaker. Ifsumming the stereo inputs into the amplifier or setting the amplifier to play in monois acceptable, the loudspeakers can be spaced 10 feet from the sides of the listeningarea and 20 feet from each other. The row spacing between speakers should be lessthan 35 feet. This will increase the area your loudspeakers will cover.Sources Spacing Spacing Between Spacingfrom Sides Speakers within a row Between RowsStereo 10 ft 15 ft 25 ft3.1m 4.6m 7.6mMono 10 ft 20 ft 35 ft3.1m 6.1m 10.7mNote: These are maximun recomended distances, sound quality is improved ifyou use smaller spacings.Table 1 Spacing Rules6
