STEP 2:
After the listening area is determined, the mounting height and the incline angle of the
column speaker have to be determined.
For the best speech intelligibility, you have to keep the following fact always in mind:
A column speaker produces, through constructive interference between the
different drivers, a focused sound beam in the acoustical centre of the speaker.
The acoustical centre of the GIAX is precisely located in the middle of the
loudspeaker.
So, to achieve the best speech intelligibility in all situations, this sound beam needs to
cover the listening area over the largest surface at the listeners ear height.
This can be done by mounting the acoustical centre of the speaker, just above the
listeners ear height, and mounting the speaker with a small incline angle ranging from 0
to 5°.
