  • Page 12: Operating Modes

    6.2 Typical modes Although the modes of arrangement shown here are typical operating modes for low frequency enclosures, the Arcline 218 system’s symmetrical design lends itself to wide range of configurations. Simple planer arrays and stacks to directional and steerable arrays are possible given suitable electronics and presets.

  • Page 13: Cardioid Modes

    Utilizing a cardioid configuration will reduce stage noise and increase forward directivity at the cost of more loudspeaker power. The Arcline 118 and Arcline 218 can be arrayed in a variety of cardioid configurations depending on the requirements of the system with a few examples shown below. For other layouts or more information, please contact your local Void distributor/dealer.
