Hi Edgardo, If the setup can't be changed, on a configuration like this you'd be better going for amplitude panning (e.g. VBAP) for anything directional (e.g. what you want to be clearly localisable) and 1st/2nd order Ambisonic for the diffuse componens, including reverb. Best L

As a sound artist and sound engineer I have knowledge about immersive reproduction systems such as ambisonics, WFS or Dolby Atmos among others and also with smaller scale immersive setups, but this would be the first time I would have to technically set up a system of this kind. Specifically the dome is 5 meters in diameter and has 14 speakers distributed equidistantly inside: 4 in a ring located in its equator, 4 in an upper ring, 4 in a lower ring, one in the upper pole and one in the lower pole. In addition to an omnidirectional speaker located at the focus and a sub-bass located at the lower base of the dome. The visitors will be lying on a mesh (acoustically tranasparent) that will be spread on the equator of the dome. I am interested in knowing first of all what kind of speakers would you recommend to use in such a system, of course I have to find a compromise between f requency range, directivity, price and ease of installation. I have been looking at inexpensive full range, low directivity speakers like the Dayton RS100-4 and also thinking about the possibility of using horns, gaining in directivity but sacrificing mid-low frequencies. I imagine there are people in this group who have designed these systems, hence the question. I would be glad to have concrete guidelines on considerations to start with the design. Thanks!
