Typical Uses: Distributed ground-stacked clusters, delay 
clusters on lifts or scaffolds.
Coverage: 20 degrees (specific angles determined by aiming)
Bumper Bar Trim Height (nominal): N/A

Splay: The boxes are nominally splayed 10 degrees, which is
the tight-packed configuration. The coverage angle can be
opened up or tightened by splaying more or less than the
nominal 10 degrees. Ground-stacking note???

Aiming: The cluster should be aimed so that the seam
between the two boxes points at the farthest seat. This 
configuration is tuned for a 200 ft throw.

Processors: Only one EAW MX8600 processor is required.

Typical Uses: Theatres
Coverage: +10 degrees to -60 degrees
Bumper Bar Trim Height (nominal): 22 ft 

Splay: The three boxes are aimed +5, -10, & -35 degrees, so the
boxes should be rigged with 15 degree (upper to middle box),
and 25 degree (middle to downfill box) splays.

Aiming: The cluster should be aimed so that the top box
points at the highest seating area. This configuration is tuned
for a 100 ft throw to the farthest seat.

Processors: One processor should drive the upper two boxes.
This processor is referred to as “main” in the settings. 
A second processor should drive the lowest box. This 
processor is referred to as “downfill” in the settings.
