V. X-Comb philosophy and setup:
Basical explanation about ‘’
X-comb
’’
technology
:
Coupling between two sources that are discontinued makes appear a comb effect problem. This mean that if you walk
in front of the cabinets that are coupled, you will ‘’feel’’ some ‘’holes’’ and ‘’maximum’’ due to the distance the sources
and the ears. Some frequencies arrives in phase and other ones out of phase. The earing system feels these maximum
and minimum: this is the comb effect. This is the reason why AUDIOFOCUS developed ‘’
Cross-comb
’’ or ‘’
X-comb
’’
technology based on specific horn, psychoacoustic features and DSP treatment.
Example of Setup of 2 x 4 coupled FR-X for FOH stage:
a)
