MODUS SUB
marks its entry into the world of the line-array
with an innovative system offering all of the latest
developments in true full-range line-array technology
to those users so far forced to use traditional systems
because of the high cost and of the difficulty of use of
other line array systems. Our solution involves
grouping four modules in a single enclosure no
bigger than one traditional 2-way horn enclosure,
producing vertical and horizontal dispersion patterns
already optimized to effectively meet a broad range
of sound reinforcement requirements, from
small/mid live touring to permanent installations.
The new
series modules (Precision
Coverage Vertical Array) are very competitive and
extremely easy to use. No compromise has been
made in terms of quality or performance.
The absence of disruptions in the source of the
upper-mid frequencies (inevitable in multi-
enclosures array applications) and the definition of
the vertical angle coverage at the project
development phase, allow improved evenness and
coherence of the wavefront through the waveguide,
perfectly modelling a cylindrical wave.
The system is composed of two line-array
enclosures,
and one
band-pass subwoofer,
all flyable
thanks to user-friendly built-in hardware. The two
array modules have different shapes in order to cover
90 x 40 and 90 x 15 dispersion angles, and can be
used either singularly or in couples to form a J-Array
able to evenly provide 90 horizontal and 55 vertical
angles.
The
subwoofer can be
suspended or stacked, and provides a system for use
where extreme low-frequency sound is required.
Although the maximum performance is obtained
when suspending the array modules, it is also
possible to ground-stack the
and
with an optional stand base, or to overlap
one

-Extended frequency response to 55Hz allows mid SPL applications without subwoofer
The generation of a wavefront with coherent high
frequencies and free of destructive interference
between sources, is possible through the application
of waveguides capable of modifying the shape of the
speaker's wavefront from spherical to cylindrical.
The methods of forming a substantially isophase
wavefront adopted by the major manufacturers
involves creating multiple paths between the
compression driver exit and the radiation slot,
causing different arrival times.
This causes
reflections and static waves that degrade the quality
of the sound, adding ripple in the frequency response
these are not easy to compensate for even with
extreme equalization. The solution adopted in the
MODUS is totally free from multiple paths: the
curving of the wavefront being obtained by a deeper
development of the waveguide, thus maintaining the
nature of typical emission of the classic constant-
directivity horn that all we know.
