WARNING:

It is possible to display different pages only in sequence (venue • array • mechanics • processor • SPL & report, and 
back), in order to be sure that all pages will be shown to the user, including the one regarding mechanics. 

MANUAL MODE 

RCF Shape Designer works in either of two basic ways: 

AUTOMATIC MODE (DEFAULT SETTING): The RCF Shape Designer will select the optimum enclosure splays, array aiming 
angle, fly-bar pick point and DSP preset configurations. 
MANUAL MODE: this provides a partial control over the array’s configuration. The enclosure splays can be increased with a 
progression of 2° steps for each adjacent speaker, in order to maintain a spiral array configuration. Then array aiming angle, 
and fly-bar pick point can be entered manually by switching on “box1 + grid changeable” and “Manual H” flags. 

Array window: Manual splays setting
