The loudspeakers in a distributed system are located ____.

At regularly spaced intervals throughout the listening area
On portable stands to the left and right of the presentation area
In a vertical array hung in a slight curve
In a central cluster directly above the presentation area

The correct answer is: At regularly spaced intervals throughout the listening area

In a distributed audio system, loudspeakers are strategically placed at regular intervals throughout the listening area to ensure consistent sound coverage and an even distribution of audio. This design allows for optimal listening experiences across various positions within the space, minimizing issues like sound hotspots or quiet zones. By spacing the speakers consistently, the system can produce a more uniform sound field, ensuring that all listeners receive balanced audio regardless of their location. Other configurations, such as having speakers on portable stands or clustered directly above the presentation area, can create uneven sound distribution and limit coverage, potentially leading to areas with poor audio quality. A vertical array hung in a curve may be effective in specific situations but typically does not provide the consistent coverage associated with a distributed system.
