5.3 ARRAYING MTD ENCLOSURES
Figure 20 shows SPL mappings at octave band frequencies for a single MTD enclosure (generated
using CATT-Acoustic modeling software), demonstrating the evenness of coverage and single point
source behavior that is obtained using coaxial technology.
Note: For color versions of figures 20, 21, 22 and 24 please see the MTD manual PDF file that is available

Figure 20: SPL mappings at octave band frequencies for a single MTD enclosure
Figure 21 shows SPL mappings at octave band frequencies for two MTD enclosures with a spacing of
0.5 meters. Uneven coverage above 500 Hz demonstrates the comb filtering interference effects that
arise due to path length differences as a function of listener position.
