In practice, multipurpose racks are more easily configured for a wide variety of array
sizes by driving the arrays in the opposite direction - from the bottom up. Smaller line
array configurations can be driven from large multipurpose racks by leaving the
upper, more equalized, outlets unused. This is indicated on the
Processor
page by
lettering the amplifier channel/loudspeaker outlets A-H with A at the bottom.
The following example relates 16-speaker rack outlets to the top-to-bottom cabinet
numbering. Note that W8Ls and W8LCs are driven in pairs whereas W8LMs are
driven in fours.

Controller presets
The recommended DX1 or DP226 controller preset is shown on the Processor page.
Most of our line array controller presets include extra channels for Band Zoning.
Band Zoning is a technique of splitting the array into various MF and HF zones to
provide more air absorption compensation for the upper (longer throw) sections.
