that the W8LS cabinets are pointing downwards - or consider a parallel (side) W8LS
or WLX sub-woofer array.
W8LS side arrays
Matching a W8LS side array to the curvature of a main W8L array is easy. Simply
copy the W8L angles.
WLX side arrays
If you specify a WLX side array it should be designed to match the curvature of the
main array. Matching adjacent WLX and W8LC array shapes is difficult (as they are
different shapes and sizes) so ViewPoint
tm
does this for you:
Enter the number of WLXs you wish to use in the number box to the right of the
Match WLX button, then click the Match WLX button.
A WLX array is generated that has a similar shape to your original main array.
Splaying WLX cabinets in mixed systems
In mixed WLX/W8LC systems ViewPoint
tm
may be used to aim the upper WLXs as
close to the main audience area as the rigging system will allow whilst keeping the
lower W8LC array pointing in the correct position for best coverage.
Click the
Splay WLX control to enable/disable this feature.
