1.12 W8Cs in distributed (delay) systems
Wavefront W8C Compacts make very good high power distributed systems or delay
elements as they project sound smoothly and efficiently without local off-axis lobing.
For good overall coverage, delays are best driven in mono for most of the show
although computer controlled matrix mixes may be considered for panning spot
effects around the venue.
Flown radial delays
Flown distribution or delay loudspeakers should be placed on radii converging at the
stage and staggered for smooth coverage.
Distributed flown loudspeaker plan (stage system not shown)
Delay times should be set for synchronisation with the next most powerful source.
This would be the stage for the first row of delays (below left) or the previous row
(below right) for farfield delays.
