the demands for SPL at the mix position. Most professional Front-Of-House (FOH) engineers
have a sense of what sound levels they will need for their particular artist. Adaptive modules
are easily added or removed from arrays, and a wide variety of SPL calculations performed to
assist in accurately determining the right number of modules needed for a given SPL
requirement. Additionally, Resolution’s Array Assistant is designed to assist the designer in
balancing coverage, output and consistency given a certain number of available modules and
any physical restrictions (maximum height and minimum trim).
3) Directivity – Anya, Anna, and Otto adhere to classic line source theory when discussing
directivity. Like any true line source, the frequency at which directivity begins is determined by
the overall physical length of the line. More simply: the longer the array, the lower in
frequency the array can control the directivity. Directivity can have significant benefits in
controlling spill onto the stage, noise control in outdoor venues, minimizing reflections
indoors, and “throw” distance.
Using EAW Resolution™
EAW Resolution is the key to determining the optimal array configuration for any application. Rooted
in EAW’s proprietary FChart modeling and calculation engine, Resolution allows users to easily model
any venue and visualize a wide variety of array designs to determine what particular array
configuration is best suited to the venue.
Users simply need to define the array position, allowable trim, minimum clearance, and quantity of
modules available and use the Array Assistant to determine the optimal array configuration for a given
venue. In many situations no further prediction work will be necessary for optimal results. Users can
also adjust the results after running the Array Assistant by manually adding/removing modules or
adjusting coverage and observing changes in predicted results. In this way Adaptive arrays can be
optimized for any application.
Additionally, Resolution interfaces directly with Adaptive Systems via the Dante protocol, allowing
users to easily upload the processing parameters for their system directly from their model to the
physical array, adjust equalization and coverage, and monitor all Adaptive components in real time. No
additional software is necessary to use Adaptive systems.
