Horn Orientation - K-array KX12 User Manual

KX12

8. hoRN oRIENTATIoN

The KX12 features a 12" woofer and a compression driver coupled to an asymmetric horn. Because
the horn is asymmetric, its sound dispersion pattern is different in respect to its axes: the sound
dispersion is wide along the axis labeled FLOOD and narrow along the axis labeled SPOT.
The horn can be manually rotated 90° using the two handles situated at the front.
In this position the sound dispersion
pattern is wide (FLOOD - 100°) in the
horizontal plane and narrow (SPOT - 30°)
in the vertical plane.
TIP
If you connect more units together to form a vertical array, make sure
to orient all horns in vertical (above picture on the left) so that they
are aligned in the same direction of the array. This will assure a wide
horizontal coverage with a narrow vertical dispersion.
In this position the sound dispersion
pattern is narrow (SPOT - 30°) in the
horizontal plane and wide (FLOOD - 100°)
in the vertical plane.
