13. Examples:
There are many ways of building and creating lobes. Because of the many possibilities it is not
un-usual that you will not gain the maximum results the first time. It is also very unusual for a
sound engineer to shape a lobe where in earlier days the only way of directing sound was my
means of re-positioning the speaker or cluster or by choosing a different type of speaker.
This array technique has many benefits, but to be able to use it to the max you have to
develop a feeling for it. This is the reason why we have put in this chapter with examples. We
hope that we can extent this section and fill it with all your experiences. So please feel free to
share your experience with us by sending your lobe with comments to:

From our experience 8 out of 10 lobes are build the following way and are in this way the most
successful to start with, giving the best gain before feedback and the highest STI results.
The projects can be downloaded from our website from the User site. Just look for the Project
number.
