Multi-Speaker System

6 Speaker system driven from the matrix and LR2
outputs. Provides output balance and level trim
independent of the mix levels. All outputs are
balanced XLR with inserts for EQ, delay or other
signal processors.

Output Level Matching and Balance

This example shows the matrix and LR2 outputs feeding the speaker system. Here all the
output controls are grouped together at the top of the panel away from the normal
operating area. Select POST for LR2 so that the output follows the LR faders. Adjust LEV
to match the operating level of each amplifier to give the desired listening level with
optimum console signals (faders and meters operating around '0'). A correctly matched
system ensures the best signal-to-noise and headroom performance. The balance between
the speakers can also be adjusted using LEV. Press ON to turn on or off selected speakers
in the system, useful in checking the effect of each. Use AFL to monitor each output post
level control but pre ON switch.

Output Drive and Inserts

Select

OUT REV for interference free balanced XLR drive to the amplifiers. This also

provides an insert on each output for graphic EQ, delays and other signal processing
devices. Inserting graphics lets you tune the frequency response of each speaker in the
system for best clarity, acoustic correction and feedback reduction.

The Matrix Mix and Delay Speakers

Use the matrix to create the required mix to the delay speakers which improves the
intelligibility of the sound to the rear of the audience. The balance of the group signals to
the matrix may be different to the subgroups feeding LR to ensure that the focus of the
sound is not lost. Insert a delay unit to compensate for the acoustic delay from stage to
speakers. Insert a graphic EQ to compensate for the local acoustics and to remove some
LF and HF which may distract the listener from the true source of the sound.
