7. Pass Thru and Time Align - Thru XLR output can be set to assist in feeding the mix to additional speakers. This
section includes presets and settings based on the type of speaker the Pass Thru will be feeding and how it is
positioned in comparison to this speaker and the audience.
a. “Pass Thru” On/Off” enables or disables the Pass Thru XLR output feed.
b. “Presets” enables selection of three types of speakers combinations using the Pass Thru XLR output.
c. “Full Range” is designed for feeding another full range speaker. This feeds both this and the Pass Thru
XLR out to another speaker with the same full frequency range mix.
d. “Sub” preset automatically congures the below settings for isolating low frequencies and only feeding
them to Pass Thru XLR out for a subwoofer speaker. Selecting “Sub” automatically sets the internal amp/
speaker feed to HPF (“high pass lter”) only signal at above 80Hz and the Pass Thru XLR output to only
pass the mix signal below 80Hz.
e. “Custom” allows the user to set the lower settings manually.
f. “HPF on this Speaker” can be used to remove signal below a selected frequency to the built-in amp/
speaker and tweeter bar.
g. “LPF on Pass Thru Out”can be used to set the low pass lter on the Thru Out XLR output feed.
8. Time Align
a. Signal delays are used when multiple speakers are in use but speakers are at different distances from the
audience.
b. Examples:
i. A subwoofer in front of the stage, while this full-range speaker is on the stage. In this conguration,
the Pass Thru XLR to subwoofer will need to be slightly delayed to make up for its closer position to
the audience.
ii. The Array bar extender option is used to mount the speaker bar in a off-speaker location at a slightly
different distance to the audience. In this case, delay the device closest to the audience to align with
the device farthest from the audience.
iii. The Pass Thru XLR out is feeding an additional full-range speaker placed half-way back in the
audience to give additional listening distance. In this case, delay the back ll speaker in the audience
to compensate correct time alignment.
c. Time Alignment Basics:
i. To compensate for different distances’, determine the speaker farthest from the audience and delay
other speakers with the same signal to “time align” with the speaker farthest away from the audience.
ii. Sound travels through air at average humidity and room temperature at about 1.1 feet per ms (3ms
per 1m). Measure the difference in distance of each speaker feeding the audience. Feed the speaker
farthest from the audience with no time alignment delay. Set delays for the other closer speakers
based on their distance ahead of the farthest back speaker. Measure the distance difference and
enter 1 ms per 1.1 feet that each speaker is ahead of the farthest back speaker in your conguration.
