Here are a few typical
WZ16:2
applications. For clarity, the input sources,
signal processing such as EQ, and the amplifiers are not shown:
PA with Live Recording -
Typical of the up-and-
coming band playing the small venue. Simultaneous
stereo and multitrack recording for the demo tapes.
Extended Speaker System -
Typical in a theatre
with a wide stage, and a disco/club. Here, the A-B
outputs feed a centre fill speaker and a sub-bass for
extended low frequency performance. L and R are
combined in mono to drive the centre speaker. Using
sub-bass, less power is needed in the L,C,R speakers.
Dedicated Stage Monitor -
This example shows 4
floor wedges for the musicians and a stereo in-ear
monitor for the lead performer. The engineer monitors
the signals using a floor wedge similar to the stage
monitors.
Studio or Location Recording -
Multitracking up to
16tracks with stereo mastering and recording. Stereo
cue for the performers, and plenty of effects.
Small Theatre -
Typical amateur dramatics setup
with delay speakers compensating for acoustic delay
and improving clarity to the rear of the hall. CD
intermission replay, 2-track recording for the
performers.
Houses of Worship -
Increasingly sophisticated
sound control is required. Here, a music PA is
controlled using L-R, and the congregation PA with
delay compensation separately controlled using A-B.
