Frequently Asked Questions
What is speaker dispersion angle?
Dispersion angle, often listed in a speaker specifications, describes the horizontal (and sometimes vertical) angle across which sound is evenly projected from the speaker horn or driver.
Why does coverage width grow with distance?
As sound travels further from the speaker, the cone of dispersion spreads wider, so coverage width increases proportionally with distance, following basic trigonometry of the dispersion angle.
How is this used in live sound and venue design?
Sound engineers use coverage width calculations to determine how many speakers are needed and where to place them so the entire audience area receives even, full sound coverage without significant gaps or overlap.
