Hi, I'm intending to try setting up a 16-speaker Ambisonics array next week in a small TV studio. I'm trying to figure out the practical arrangements for setting up the speakers. I was wondering if anyone with experience might be able to offer some advice or point me in the right direction?
What I'm planning at the moment is a half-sphere arrangement which would likely consist of: - 8 speakers in a circle of radius 2m at a height of approximately 1.6m - 6 speakers in a smaller circle at an elevation of 45 degrees - 2 speakers at an elevation of approximately 75 degrees Alternatively, I would be happy with an arrangement similar to the first 16-speakers in this diagramme: http://www.matthiaskronlachner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/loudspeaker-plan-observatory.jpg I've been trying to find out if there is a convention or "most usual" arrangement but couldn't find anything. I'm not particularly attached to the actual arrangement, I just want to find an arrangement that will work well enough with 16 speakers. Any advice? The other thing I would welcome is advice on how to mount the speakers to lighting rigs in a manner that is practical enough to offer some good compromise between precision and ease of setup. I believe the speakers we'll be using for the upper tiers will be Genelec 8060s. Many thanks. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
