Enter the diameter of the speaker and the horizontal coverage angle into the calculator to determine the coverage area. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.
Speaker Coverage Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the speaker coverage area.
CA = π * (D/2)^2 * (H/360)
Variables:
- CA is the coverage area in square meters
- D is the diameter of the speaker in meters
- H is the horizontal coverage angle of the speaker in degrees
To calculate the speaker coverage area, divide the diameter of the speaker by 2 and square the result. Multiply this by π (Pi). Then, divide the horizontal coverage angle of the speaker by 360. Multiply these two results together to get the coverage area in square meters.
What is a Speaker Coverage?
Speaker coverage refers to the area or space in which the sound from a speaker can be heard clearly and at an optimal level. It is determined by the design and power of the speaker, the acoustics of the room, and the placement of the speaker. Understanding speaker coverage is important in settings like conference rooms, theaters, or any public venues to ensure that the audio reaches all areas of the space effectively.
How to Calculate Speaker Coverage?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Speaker Coverage using the given formula:
- First, determine the diameter of the speaker (D) in meters.
- Next, determine the horizontal coverage angle of the speaker (H) in degrees.
- Next, use the formula CA = π * (D/2)^2 * (H/360) to calculate the coverage area (CA) in square meters.
- Finally, calculate the Speaker Coverage.
- After inserting the values of D and H into the formula and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:
Diameter of the speaker (D) = 0.5 meters
Horizontal coverage angle of the speaker (H) = 120 degrees
