Array Options
Allow Non-Incremental Splays - You can select or deselect the use of “Non-
Incremental Splays”. Some designers adhere strictly to a “spiral-array” approach of
deploying line arrays. This means that the angles between enclosures will always
increase from top to bottom. Others will allow the angles of the array to adapt to
match the contour of the audience. If you choose to create spiral arrays, you would
deselect this feature.
Allow Front Splays - Front splays may also be selected. By default, the software
has this feature turned off. Opening the fronts of EAW line array enclosures is
possible but not recommended. Best results are obtained when the fronts are tight
together but there are occasions when “audio triage” is necessary either to cover
the entire audience due to an insufficient number of enclosures on hand or to try
and split an array to miss reflections from a balcony face, etc.
Coverage
By default, Resolution uses the extremities of the listening area to determine
coverage. However, there may be occasions when the entire venue may not need to
be covered. Using the Coverage section, you may create a new listening area within
the model without having to redesign the surfaces. Coverage is indicated within the
model as a blue arc drawn on the X-Y plane.
Modify Coverage
 Check the Modify Coverage box to open the feature.
 Enter in the closest distance to the origin that you are trying to achieve
coverage. The software will cover as closely as possible to your desired
coverage request.
 Enter in the farthest distance from the origin that you are trying to cover.
Allow Upper Overshoot - By default, Resolution uses the extremities of the
enclosure coverage to determine the end of coverage. These are also known as the
“soft edges” of the coverage angle and although frequency response is still
nominal in this region, the SPL will have dropped on average 6dB. Allowing the
software to overshoot means the top of coverage is biased towards more “on-axis”
response from the loudspeaker and the loudspeaker or array will point higher than
the top of its coverage limit. The advantage to this is more SPL delivered to the
back of the venue.
