10.4 FLOWN ARRAY CONFIGURATIONS
Subwoofers in flown cardioid arrays should be configured in 2:1 or 3:1 building blocks and, when possible, in arrangements that are
symmetrical, top to bottom. Symmetry ensures that the pattern produced by the array is axially symmetric with the physical array, al-
lowing more predictable coverage and aiming. Asymmetric arrangements can be created, but should always be modeled first in LAC-3
to ensure that cancellation areas in the coverage fall outside of audience areas.
In some cases, asymmetric arrays are unavoidable, especially when the arrays are configured in blocks of four cabinets. In these cases,
coverage tends to be biased towards a specific direction, but strategic placement can help shape coverage to the specific needs of a
venue. Use LAC-3 to design such arrays.
Example 1: (6) subwoofer flown array in 2:1 blocks
Example 2: (8) subwoofer arrays in 3:1 blocks
