6. Power amplifiers – 100 V line Amplifier’s output Is connected to step-up transformer. Every speaker part of the line has step- down transformer. The principle is the same as high voltage power distribution lines.

7. Grouping the loudspeakers ●Conventional loudspeakers

8. Grouping the loudspeakers ●Sound column ●Little space between transdusers –> good HF response ●Long length of the line –> good LF directivity

9. Grouping the loudspeakers Groupped conventional loudspeakers line array system

25. Sound System Guide - Cinema Screen Loudspeakers: ●They must provide 105dB SPL at ⅔ of the length of the hall (simultanious work of the three channels provide approx 5dB more)

26. Sound System Guide - Cinema Screen loudspeakers:

27. Sound System Guide - Cinema Surround loudspeakers: number: 12-16 (4 on the rear wall, 3-4 on the side walls) minimum (for small halls): 8 (2 on the rear wall, 3 on the side walls) directions: first row of surrounds at ⅔ from the rear wall last row at minimum 2-3 meters from the rear wall

28. Sound System Guide - Cinema Subwoofers: ●Use of 18” speakers ●number: one piece on every 675 cubic meters ●Always round-up to a bigger number ●Sometimes is appropriate to put more, just for bigger effect
