without feedback and without stressing its mechanical, electrical or
electro-acoustic components.
3) Be divided into easily understood sections (eg Main, midfield, downfill etc)
and clearly labelled so that adjustments may be made quickly and efficiently.
The schematic above shows a simple system using a Martin Audio DX1 Loudspeaker
Management System configured as a 2 x 3way crossover controlling W8Cs switched
for passive high-mid/high sections and W8CS subwoofers.
See the Section 1.5 for further DX1 information and Section 2 of this applications
guide for a more complex example.
1.4.1 Cluster sub-sections
When designing a large sound system it is worth spending a little time working out a
sensible cluster patch to optimise audience coverage.
The following example is a 4 wide, 4 deep W8C classical music centre cluster
divided into farfield, midfield, nearfield and downfill horizontal rows and inner and
outer vertical columns. The active (3-way) W8Cs may be patched in pairs for
symmetrical control.
