Hi Ryan:
This package will not work for your application especially if you are planning on adding additional speakers. The limitation is the PA90 which features 60 watts total (Technically 48 watts or 80 percent of 60 watts recommended). Check out the PAM245 which features 240 watts (Actually 192 usable watts, 80% of 240W). The PAM245 adds a neat feature; 5 separate output channels with on /off switch per zone so you can wire from 1 zone up to 5 zones. It might be Zone 1 for the inside restaurant with Zone 2 for the outside. You also asked about calculating the area for the pendant speakers inside the Restuarant You need to take in two factors when considering this question. First, you need to think about what distance from the floor to the speaker will be. The breakdown is as follows: 8 ft/250 sq.ft., 10 ft/400 sq.ft., 12 ft/580 sq.ft., 14 ft/780 sq.ft. The formula you would use to determine how many speakers you will need to cover your area; Total Area (ft.) divided by Speaker Coverage (Sq ft.) Equals @ of Speakers. The higher the speaker, the greater the coverage by a single speaker. The installation starts in one corner of the area. The first Pendant should be positioned the same distance as the height from floor to speaker from both walls. The next speaker should be placed a distance equal to two times the floor to speaker height from the first speaker but in a line parallel to one of the walls. The second row will start double the distance of the height, floor to speaker from the first wall and that same distance parallel to the first row, A third row if needed will match the first-row distance from the wall and adjacent row. The key factor in determining the height from the floor to the bottom of the pendant speaker. It would also be nice to see a Blueprint of your area so I could calculate how many pendant speakers along with the Patio speakers. This would help determine how many speakers and what the 70V tap setting would be for each speaker (combining both Pendant and Patio speakers). We would need to create a special bundle quote for the AMP, Pendant Speakers, Patio Speakers and speaker wire (16/2 either white or black jacket). I would love to hear from you; [email protected]
Please let me know if this helped.
