INTEGRATED SYSTEM APPROACH
1.1
Presentation
The
LA4X
is an amplified controller based on a 4-input by 4-output architecture and an exclusive green power module
providing maximized efficiency. With LA4X, L-ACOUSTICS
®
speakers can get all the benefits of self-powered
speakers, while keeping the versatility of the separated amplification approach.
1.2
System configurations
The L-ACOUSTICS
®
systems can be operated in three connectivity modes, as described below:
‘‘A LA CARTE’’
The pool of four inputs and four amplification channels of the LA4X can be allocated “à la
carte” to any passive speaker enclosures with a one-to-one-to-one link
(input / processing + amplification / loudspeaker). This approach is cost effective for
applications requiring a high count of independent sound sources such as stage monitors,
multi-channel systems and multi-feed distributed systems.
‘‘FULL ACTIVE’’
In high-end installation projects, the LA4X can drive active systems, up to K2, for maximum
power headroom and the best possible performances. With one transducer section per
output channel and the independent DSP treatment of each output, this approach brings
maximum discretization with a one-to-one link (processing + amplification / transducer
section).
‘‘CONVENTIONAL’’
For applications requiring a high count of loudspeaker enclosures with optimized cost of
amplification, the LA4X can efficiently operate as a conventional amplified controller driving
speakers in parallel from its four amplification channels, with the added benefit of the 4
inputs when using passive loudspeaker enclosures.
1.3
System components
The system approach developed by L-ACOUSTICS
®
consists in offering a global solution that guarantees the highest
and most predictable level of performance at any step of loudspeaker system deployment: modeling, installation and
operation. A complete L-ACOUSTICS
®
system includes enclosures, amplified controllers, cables, rigging system, and
software applications. The main components of an L-ACOUSTICS
®
system that includes the LA4X are the following:
1.3.1
Powering and driving systems
LA4X
Amplified controller with DSP library and networking capabilities.
1.3.2
Loudspeaker enclosures and cables
Refer to the
user manuals
of the loudspeaker systems for detailed instructions about the enclosures and their
connection to the LA amplified controllers.
1.3.3
Rigging elements
Refer to the
rigging manuals
of the loudspeaker systems for detailed instructions about the rigging of the
enclosures.
