Specifications

Wide spacing will cause off axis irregularities (combing) because time offsets start to

become significant. See Section 4.10 for a more detailed explanation.

♦ An odd number of half wavelengths will cause nulls along the line of the

loudspeakers (the 90º lines) - see the 2½ wavelength example above

♦ An even number of half wavelengths will cause lobes along the line of the

loudspeakers - see the 2 wavelength example below

The following tables give the maximum recommended gap (between W8S sides) for

the relevant frequency range.

W8S' standing upright

Gap Smooth coverage range

0.5m 38 - 160Hz

1.0m 38 - 110Hz

2.0m 38 - 80Hz

To avoid mid-bass combing keep horizontal gaps below 500mm for upright W8S'
