Where are the loudspeakers positioned?
Two formations of loudspeakers are generally used at Sound Travels. The “double diamond” configuration has proven favourable in rooms that enable speakers to be placed in a perfect circle while the “four pairs” configuration operates better in rooms that are more rectangular, or particularly narrow (see links below for diagrams that indicate speaker channeling). ABControl enables the user to change from one speaker configuration to another. For instance, it will re-calculate the relative levels of output according to changes in speaker angle and channel numbering. Further refinements can be added in performance according to the dictates of the situation, such as delay or equalization or further level changes to individual input and output channels. The ABControl program can be used to its full advantage by placing the loudspeakers at the same elevation as the audience. However, one can cheat the program by placing certain speakers at higher elevations and using this to good effect as w
