Martin Audio Wavefront W8CT, Application Manual

Page: 169 / 247

Number of cabinets
The default value is 10 cabinets and this is a good starting point for most situations.
Click the
Design button to see coverage, array length and splay angles.
You may wish to edit the number of cabinets to see how coverage, array length and
splay angles are affected.
Note: the software will attempt to cover as wide an area as set by the coverage start
and stop values. If the coverage (Start to Stop) cannot be met with the number of
cabinets selected, a screen message will appear.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
Long throw applications will require arrays long enough to ensure the appropriate
vector summation for the distance to be covered. Too few cabinets may result in an
inappropriate design. Once again, see W8L Series Applications Guide
Section 5.4.
Mixed systems
The number of cabinets in mixed systems relates to the total number of cabinets in the
array. A separate control dictates how many of the lower cabinet types are present.
See later.
5.5.9 Stacked systems
When Stack is selected the maximum number of cabinets is limited and instead of
Array Height , Stage Height appears in its place.
