LX-V8 Note: Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are used in the signal processing of the LX-V8 cabinet. FIR is a type of digital filter with linear phase characteristics. This frees system designers from the constraints of phase anomalies associated with analogue filters or their digital versions (IIR, Infinite Impulse Response). When properly used, FIR filtering can audibly improve a system’s impulse response and reduce crossover interference.

SV-LXV8 The Lynx V8 system is equipped with a solid and precise flying system that can hold up to 24 cabinets in Lineal array with adjustable angles of between 0º to 7º, with increases of 0.5º and 1º. Furthermore, there is a complementary frontal angle of 7º...
TECHNICAL DATA The flying frame for the Lynx V8 Line Array is compised of an upper support (SV-LXV8), constructed with steel and on which all acoustic cabinets are hung, one beneath the other correspondingly. They are supported via 4 points with 2 lateral plates incorporated in each cabinet and with two special adjustable steel pieces in each plaque, S1 and S2 (one at the front and one at the rear).
If the Lynx is installed outdoors check that the support structure will be stable against the wind strength. If the Lynx is used outdoors secure it with cable to avoid pendular movement. Do not stand underneath the system.
Fix the shackles to the elevation system (e.g motors, lifts) and elevate enough so as to fix the SVLX-V8 on to the first LX-V8 cabinet so that the S1 and S2 links of support, fit in to position in the upper lateral plates of the cabinet (1).
