With WSXs standing upright, flat fronted cluster coverage patterns will be confined

to one main lobe whose mid-bass crossover width is inversely proportional to the size

of the cluster as long as horizontal gaps are less than 500mm.

♦ Use wide arrays for long shots. Useful for long, narrow venues

♦ Use narrow arrays for short, wide shots

Horizontal Boundary effects

A solid wall near an array will act as a reflector. This will cause a horizontal array to

perform as if it were twice as wide, giving a useful low frequency boost accompanied

by a narrower, more complex polar response.

Again, a flexible side wall may absorb sound at certain low frequencies. Boundaries

should always be treated with caution.

4.7.3 Spacing

It is possible to space out WSXs to provide a larger frontal area with fewer units but

care must be taken to avoid irregular coverage at higher, mid-bass frequencies.
