How is speaker coverage calculated?

A higher mounting height makes a speaker cover a larger floor area. Example: An office with a ceiling height of 2.5m (8ft) makes one speaker cover an area with a 7.5m diameter (3 x 2.5m), which makes the cover area 44m2 (3.14 x (7.5/2)2).

How do you measure speaker capacity?

Look on the back of the speaker box if you don’t have a manual. If you don’t have your instruction manual, there should be a plate or sticker on your speaker listing the wattage, voltage, and amperage. Turn the speaker box around to find this information. Typically, it will list a range of numbers under wattage.

How many watts is 2000 people?

Average Wattage by the Size of the Room

Is 500 watts loud enough for a party?

Originally Answered: Is 500 watt speakers loud? It’s probably quite loud, but a wattage rating by itself is pretty meaningless, as it only measures power and not output. It could also be measuring a number of things. For example, a speaker with 500W peak power handling might only be able to handle 250W sustained.

What is speaker coverage pattern?

Ceiling speakers coverage is described as “conical” (cone shaped), with the volume loudest at the center. The stated coverage pattern describes the point the SPL drops to –6dB. This specification is listed as an angle in degrees, which describes how wide of an area the speaker will cover in sound.

How is speaker dispersion measured?

In general, the bigger the driver, the narrower its dispersion at higher frequencies. You can easily calculate the frequency at which a driver’s dispersion starts to narrow. Just divide 13,512 (the speed of sound in inches per second at sea level) by the diameter of the driver in inches.

How do I calculate speaker Ohms and watts?

For example, if the amplifier is producing 20 Volts at the output terminals, Ohms law (R=V/I) tells us that there are 50 watts being fed into an 8 Ohm speaker (watts equal voltage squared divided by impedance).
