2. System Design/Applications

ATON Ceiling speakers are designed primarily to be installed in drywall ceilings, but it is possible to install them in other materials. Prior to installation, it is essential to determine the type of application, and, therefore, the placement of the speakers in the ceiling. There are three typical applications that ATON Ceiling speakers will be used for: Stereo, Mono/DVC, and Home Theater.

Stereo

In areas that have a deﬁ ned listening area where two speakers will be mounted more or less equidistant from each other, use a stereo setup with left and right speakers each connected to their own channel of a stereo receiver or ampliﬁ er. This application provides the best sound quality, staging, and depth possible in areas with a deﬁ ned listening position. Figure 2.1 shows an example of a stereo listening area.

Mono/DVC

In many instances, mono or DVC setup will provide a better listening experience in spaces without a deﬁ ned listening area. Mono applications combine the left and right signals to provide the full sound of an audio signal to each speaker in the system without left/right separation. DVC applications send the left signal to one voice coil and the right signal to another voice coil, essentially creating a stereo pair in one speaker cabinet. Figure 2.2 shows an A62ST DVC Speaker in a kitchen.
