Storm Series Outdoor Speakers
2. System Design/Applications
ATON Outdoor speakers are designed primarily to be used in areas such as back yards, porches,
decks, etc. Because of the diversity of possible installation scenarios, pay particular attention to
which type of application is most appropriate for the environment in which the speakers will be
installed.
Stereo
In areas that have a defi ned listening area where two speakers will be mounted more or less
equidistant from each other, use a stereo setup with left and right speakers each connected
to their own channel of a stereo receiver or amplifi er. This application provides the best sound
quality, staging, and depth possible in areas with a defi ned listening position. Figure 2.1 shows
an example of an outdoor stereo listening area.
Mono/DVC
In many instances, mono or DVC setup will provide a better listening experience in outdoor
areas. Mono applications combine the left and right signals to provide the full sound of a piece
of music to each speaker in the system without left/right separation. DVC applications send
the left signal to one voice coil and the right signals to another voice coil, essentially creating a
stereo pair in one speaker cabinet. Use mono or DVC setups for any area that does not have a
defi ned listening area.
