Coverage
The SMS1 System has been designed to cover up to 2500 square feet of space (225m
2
) with a
reasonable background sound level. As the space gets smaller, the SMS1 will provide higher overall
levels. If the space is larger than 2500 ft
2
, then more speakers or systems may be necessary. This
manual will go over actual physical placement of the components based on a rectangular room of
approximately 2500 ft
2
.
Satellites
The Satellites are generally easy to place.The best coverage tends to be in and around the corners
of the room. The speakers should be placed up high, close to the ceiling. If the ceiling is very high,
and there is no reason to cover all the way to the top, do not place the satellites much higher than
15-ft (4.5m). It is best to bring the Satellite out of the corner slightly, along the long wall of the
room, to an appropriate position such that the installation base will be positioned at a wall stud. The
four satellites should essentially be in symmetry with each other. The satellites should be pointed
down and in to center so that they “face” a point approximately 4-ft (1.2m) above the center of the
floor. For a Stereo System, it is recommended that the Satellites be setup in a diagonal left right
pattern. See Figure 5 below.
