A2.7 Adding W8S’ to flown W8 systems
Although the Wavefront W8S is often used as a base for smaller floor-stacked or
stage-stacked systems, flying W8S’ with main W8 systems can keep the floor tidy
and free up floor space for scenery, TV camera tracks etc.
As mentioned earlier, very large outdoor festival crowds will absorb mid-bass from
low-profile, ground stacked subwoofers. Flying W8S’ will provide a tight, efficient
and detailed bass performance without audience mid-bass absorption.
A2.7.1 W8S/W8 configurations
For medium power amplications - amplifying a large orchestra, for example, where
low frequency stability is important - a single row of W8S’ may be added to a
standard W8 cluster extending its low frequency response to below 40Hz. This
configuration can be very efficient as it uses the rest of the cluster as a baffle,
increasing forward projection allowing high gain before feedback.
