The horizontal coverage angle of any venue can be 

readily determined through inspection of its plan view.

Once the horizontal coverage requirement has been

determined, calculate the number of columns 

required to thoroughly address the entire 

venue based on each column's horizontal 

coverage pattern. 

I – The Five Basic Steps of Array Building

Venue sizes and styles vary dramatically. It is not uncommon for a concert tour to play a 1,000 seat club, a 3,000

seat theater and an 8,000 seat arena on successive nights. Creating the right array for each venue is vital to 

maintaining consistency and establishing a true continuum of success. Our experience has led us to develop 

a five step approach to designing the appropriate array for any venue.

Design a single array column that will address each vertical audience zone in a cross-section running from the stage

through the center of the venue to the rear-most seat. Be sure to factor in the array trim height. To seamlessly cover

each vertical zone (front, middle, rear, balcony, etc.) requires that the system engineer properly apply the various

array modules in his/her arsenal including subwoofers. This is the primary key to delivering a uniform response to

the entire venue.
