A. In room is less than 40ft (12m), wide place one
FreeSpace DS 16S/SE ½ the Loudspeaker Spacing
distance in from each corner of the room.

step 5 Calculate the required amplifier size. use the Tap Chart below to determine which loudspeaker tap is
required for this design.
A. Locate the loudspeaker mounting
height for this design.
B. Draw a line down to the desired
maximum SPL.
C. Draw a horizontal line across the
chart to read the required loud-
speaker tap.
D. Calculate the required amplifier power:
