Preset design
Frequency response contour
For the X Series coaxial loudspeaker enclosures, there are two distinct contours:
• the standard preset, for all applications except stage monitor applications
• the _MO preset, dedicated to stage monitor applications
For legacy coaxial loudspeaker enclosures (XT and MTD Series), there are three distinct contours:
• the _FR presets, for most of FOH applications
• the _FI presets, for spoken word, classical music, jazz, or ll systems
• the _MO presets, for half-space loading conditions, typically monitor applications
For current WST systems, there are one or two distinct contours:
• the main preset, ensuring a reference FOH contour to the line source with usual deployment parameters
• the _FI preset, dedicated to loudspeaker enclosures used as a ll system (for some systems only)
The oldest WST systems inherit from a legacy preset structure (_HI and _LO presets).
If necessary, users can adjust the sonic signature of L-Acoustics systems through the Contour EQ tools in LA Network
Manager.
The Array Morphing tool provides two parameters, zoom factor and LF contour, that allow users to adjust the response
of a WST system. At any reference listening distance and with any line source length, the engineer can obtain the sonic
signature of a bigger, smaller, closer or further system, and can unify the sonic signature of multiple sources. Refer to the
LA Network Manager Help and Array Morphing white paper for detailed information.
