4.4 Arraying
Ideally, only a super-high powered variable coverage speaker
would be used per channel for covering any room. This
not achievable in real life, so one must resort to arrays
or clusters.
Speakers are arrayed for two reasons:
- To extend the coverage of a system that has too
narrow directivity.
- To increase the sound pressure level.
The tables that follow offer directivity information for
different tight-packed array combinations, separately
for horizontal and vertical. - 6 dB coverage angle,
directivity index (an expression of the directivity of an array,
the more directive the higher) and on-axis SPL (relative to a
single box) results are provided.
For every model, results are provided for a number of array
boxes from 1 to 5, with splay angles from 0 to 50 degrees in
10-degree intervals. Results are for the 500 to 8kHz band,
except for subs, where a one octave 100 Hz band is used.
NA The results are calculated from polars with two degree angular and 1/24th octave
frequency resolution. Coverage angles from a single box may differ from those in the
specifications section. Active mode was used in active/passive boxes. AUTOPOL, a
platform consisting of custom and customised hardware and software, was used for
automated high-resolution array predictions. Predictions for the 500-8k Hz band may
overestimate the coverage angle which can reach lower values at specific frequencies.
Example. A 3x2 ST-112 array (3 columns and 2 rows) with 40-
degree horizontal and 30 degree vertical splay (shown on the
illustration).
To find out the coverage of such array, we go to the horizontal
section of the ST-112 table and look for the 40º/3x cells, and
the 30º/x2 cells on the vertical section. The results (cells have
a grey background) show coverage angles of 165 degrees
horizontal and 85 degrees vertical, and an on-axis SPL of +0
dB (horizontal) and +3 dB (vertical) for a total on-axis level of
+3 dB (0 dB hori 3 dB vertical) above the level for a
single box.
