Selecting Loudspeaker Models, Modules and Beam Patterns
Is the MSA12X the Right Choice for the Application?
When considering the Panaray® MSA12X modular steerable array loudspeaker vs. the passive Panaray®
MA12EX modular line array loudspeaker, the MSA12X would be a good choice in the following scenarios:
Rooms that need a columnar loudspeaker installed vertically and tight-to-the wall for improved
aesthetics, allowing the loudspeaker to visually blend into the room. Panaray MSA12X arrays do not need
mechanical aiming, or pitch. They can also be mounted high on the wall, using digital steering to focus
sound down to audience areas.
Dicult rooms with high reverberation times that need the radiation pattern control oered by digital
beam steering. MSA12X arrays allow more precise targeting of audience areas, so you can decide where
you want to place (and not place) the acoustic energy. This level of control leads to better direct-to-
reverberant sound ratios and speech intelligibility in dicult rooms.
Rooms that require two audience zones to be covered by a single-column array.
Rooms that need a columnar loudspeaker recessed into surfaces.
Rooms with structural or design constraints that require the loudspeaker to be installed in non-ideal
locations.
Rooms that do not have an amplifier rack and can benefit from using a powered loudspeaker.
Rooms that already use, or are planning to use Dante® digital audio and control over Ethernet-based
networks.
