7. Cardioid Arrays with CD 44
The subwoofer NOMOS XLC is a cardioid loudspeaker.
A cardioid array results in an increase of sound pressure towards the front because of the
rear-facing subwoofer. In the rear area (cardioid) or in the lateral side area (hypercardioid),
on the other hand, the sound pressure is clearly reduced.
With this, you achieve
• less unwanted sound on the stage
• low feedback
• simplified miking
• improved room acoustics with fewer reflections from the rear and side walls, or – when
flown – from the ceiling
• simplified adherence of sound emission limits and therefore less noise disturbance for
nearby residential areas during open air events.
