Combining Subwoofers
The following illustration shows WSX and W8S subwoofers combined for a larger
event as discussed.
Combining Wavefront W8 and Wavefront Longthrow systems
(See next page)
The left cluster for an athletic field is shown. The main forward section includes 4
rows of Longthrow with another 2 rows of W8CTs being used to augment the outer
columns.
The W8-to-W8CT vertical splay angle is kept very small (3º - just one M.A.N. flying
system chain link) to provide a smooth transition between the two sections.
Wavefront Longthrow (Line Array) systems have more forward gain than regular W8
systems so amplifier gains should be set to allow for this. The W8CT/CM amplifier
channels are usually attenuated by 6-9dB wrt the W8 amplifiers.
