As can be seen in the results mapping above—a variation of
+ or -1.5 dB from front to back in a 120 ft./36 meter deep
room—the U.R.G.O. workflow and beam results in excellent
front to back coverage with minimal work.
U.R.G.O. Refinements
U.R.G.O. beams are simple, but there are still some adjust-
ments and tweaks that can further refine the coverage to
the specific venue. U.R.G.O. beams have two acoustic cen-
ters, the Top, and the Bottom of the High Frequency Array.
The Top acoustic center, which allows greater down angles
of inclination, will often reduce reflections off side and rear
surfaces. Additionally, the Top acoustic center can be used
in an effort to increase gain before feedback with close
proximity microphones.
The Bottom acoustic center will produce shallower angles of
inclination, reducing the steering needed to achieve cover-
age, resulting in coverage to greater distances. The Bottom
acoustic center can also be used to achieve greater front fill
coverage. The single beam workflow that U.R.G.O. provides
makes experimentation easy.
