When I did distributed audio and there was a room with 4 speakers, we would wire the stereo pairs where the “left” speakers, as wired to the amplifier, were kitty-corner to one another and the “rights” were the same. This way, there was stereo sound almost everywhere as you moved through the room.
4 speakers in a large room
Would appreciate some opinions about connecting four bookshelf speakers in a large room at home (the room is an open space where I have kitchen and dining/living room).
I have 4 bookshelf speakers (Dali Spektor 1) at the corners pointing towards the center. This is for ambient sound, easy listening while I’m cooking.
I don’t have them connected to an amplifier yet and my question is: should I hook them as two stereo pairs (A and B to an amplifier with two sets of outputs); Or should I search for an amplifier providing mono outputs, so all speakers play the same? Which option is the best for this kind of arrangement? I know in Pro Audio, the speakers at a venue work in mono. Should I do the same? Will two stereo pairs sound “strange”?

@paradisecom , that’s a simple solution that might work in this particular space. I’ll try that arrangement. |
