How it works
Aim for coverage, not just volume.
A loudspeaker coverage angle forms a wedge. At a given distance, simple trigonometry gives the horizontal width and vertical height of that wedge.
The formula
- — axial distance in meters
- — nominal dispersion angle
- Repeat for the vertical angle
Worth knowing
The edge is not a hard cutoff. A nominal -6 dB coverage angle means the sound is quieter at the boundary, not silent outside it.
Assumptions
Actual coverage varies with frequency, cabinet design and mounting angle. The footprint is a rectangular bounding estimate, not a prediction of uniform SPL. Consult manufacturer polar data.
