Integrating Otto with Anya and Anna
Adaptive systems were designed for seamless integration of Otto subwoofers with Anya and Anna.
Leveraging the same core Adaptive Performance™ technology, Anya, Anna, and Otto systems are
designed to be used together to provide ideal broadband coverage of any venue.
The recommended ratio of Otto modules to complement an Anya or Anna system vary by musical
genre, desired LF “bump” relative to mid- and high-frequency output, and overall output level relative
to available headroom . The following ratios should serve as a general rule in sizing Adaptive systems,
representing the relative subwoofer/full-range balance at full output of both systems. Note that in
some cases Anya/Anna arrays may have sufficient low-frequency headroom such that no Otto
subwoofers are necessary.

Venue Design Examples
The following section contains a variety of venue examples with recommended systems for each. The
venue type, capacity, recommended system size and expected SPL levels are summarized in the table
below. These are not hard-and-fast rules, but should serve as a starting point or benchmark for similar
system and facility designs.
