Independent or mixed 

 

This document only deals with independent rigging of the SB18 subwoofer enclosure. 
When using the SB18 enclosure as a companion to a main system, some combined configurations will imply 
the  set-up  of  mixed  arrays.  At  this  point,  it is  especially  the  case  of  KARA/SB18  arrays.  Always  refer  to  the 
rigging manual of the main system or enclosure to get acquainted with the rigging procedures specific to the 
mixed main/sub arrays.

The cardioid configuration is in an array of 4 subwoofers with 1 reversed element.  
Refer to the subwoofer
