Optimize Results - Tannoy QFLEX User Manual

Note: Longer arrays will have better low frequency control characteristics
10. Set the height of the loudspeaker. The specified height is to the bottom of the array.
Hint: QFlex will invariably be installed in architecturally sensitive environments.The client or architect will most probably impose
restrictions on preferred mounting locations. Beware of mounting the loudspeaker too low. The venue will most probably be
empty when you demo or commission the project. If you are in a house of worship, remember that people stand up and sit
during a service. Make sure that when people stand they are not masking the sound at the back of the room.
11. Inclination – Not all mounting surfaces are plumb and straight. This feature will allow the programme to factor for any
inclinations in the mounting surface.
12. The SPL scale can be referenced against the resultant SPL maps.
13. Optimize: Will generate the steering algorithm based on the supplied information.

6.3 OPTIMIZE RESULTS

1. Resultant Beam based on target data. From here you can save the steering file and upload to the QFlex hardware
from the VNET software.
2. SPL distribution over target area. To further optimize this particular design the SPL intensity towards the back of the
room can be increased slightly to give a more even SPL distribution. Splitting the venue plane into two sections may
also yield better results. This effectively creates two separate beams which you can manipulate independently, giving
you additional control.
3. SPL Headroom. Indication of SPL headroom available in the design. This figure will show red if the specified SPL
cannot be achieved.
