Page 2: About Adaptive Performance
Utilizing proprietary software and hardware, Adaptive Systems such as Anya, Anna, and Otto provide users with the remarkable ability to define (and redefine) their coverage in situ, after the system has been deployed or even mid- show. -

Page 5: Overview
Adaptive arrays are designed using only three module types: Anya, Anna, and Otto. Each column in an array can only consist of one module type, and columns of Anya and Anna can be combined to create mixed, multi-column arrays. Since the vertical coverage of the system is adaptable from 90° down to 90°... -
Page 6: Anna Driver Compliment
Vertical – Completely Variable It should be noted that the vertical coverage of Anya, as calculated by Resolution software, will almost always be asymmetrical. Vertical coverage is never derived from fixed Q (i.e. 45°, 60°, 90°, aimed at 10° down) but will be contoured to provide the most consistent coverage possible. This means that the pattern will be complex. -
Page 7: Anna Nominal Coverage
Anna Nominal Coverage Horizontal – 100° when used as a single column. Columns array on 90° centers (10° overlap total, 5° overlap per column) to minimize the transition from one column to another. Vertical – Completely Variable... -
Page 8: About Otto
About Otto Otto arrays are designed with a single module type. Each Otto module includes Offset Apertures in all four corners and two independently-processed 18” woofers to generate a variety of coverage patterns, even from only a single module. Otto modules are designed to be tight-packed, with interlocking flybars and IR transceivers on all faces. “Shotgun”... -
Page 9: Array And Overall System Design
If additional subwoofer support is desired, EAW Otto should be utilized as the ideal match for Anya and Anna. This subwoofer extends Adaptive Performance into the sub-bass range, providing the optimal low-frequency coverage pattern for the venue. -

(maximum height and minimum trim). 3) Directivity – Anya, Anna, and Otto adhere to classic line source theory when discussing directivity. Like any true line source, the frequency at which directivity begins is determined by the overall physical length of the line. -
Page 11: How Array Length Affects Directivity
The second image demonstrates what would happen with the same frequency in the same venue but with an Anya array of 12 modules instead of 4. It is quite clear how much more directive the vertical has become in this image and if we continue to add modules to the array, the effect will become more... - Page 12 Finally, we see the result when the maximum number of Anya enclosures is suspended (maintaining a 10:1 design factor). This 18-module column of Anya produces an extremely tight vertical pattern at 125Hz across this listening area. If directivity at lower frequencies is required for the application, array...

Page 13: Anya: Lf Control And 'Throw
This assumes a flat audience surface and an array suspended at a typical trim height (i.e. approximately 10m/32 feet). More complex audience geometries will produce different results and should be studied in Resolution. Anya: LF Control and ‘Throw’ Array Length Typical LF Control Cutoff (Hz) -
Page 14: How Adaptive Systems Handle Horizontal Coverage With Multiple Columns
In the below example, an array of three columns of 4 Anya modules each clearly can be seen to manipulate the low-frequency pattern to provide optimal coverage of the venue, allocating the available low-frequency energy from all three columns down the long-throw side of the coverage area. -
Page 15: Split Coverage To Avoid Balcony Faces And Other Obstacles
Split Coverage to Avoid Balcony Faces and Other Obstacles Adaptive arrays automatically “split” coverage to avoid balcony faces and other obstacles to reduce slap-back. No additional steps are required of the user. Inherently, Adaptive Systems minimize energy directed where there is no audience surface; anywhere not explicitly covered has minimal energy to due to the excellent off-axis performance of these systems. -
Page 16: Truck Pack Examples
Truck Pack Examples Several example truck pack configurations are displayed below, and show recommended packing configurations for various Adaptive systems. These configurations are based on product pallet dimensions, and typical truck interior dimensions. -
Page 17: Integrating Otto With Anya And Anna
The recommended ratio of Otto modules to complement an Anya or Anna system vary by musical genre, desired LF “bump” relative to mid- and high-frequency output, and overall output level relative to available headroom . -
Page 18: Venue: Live Club
Venue: Live Club Perspective Venue View With two arrays of 4x modules each, Anna provides consistent coverage and very high SPL throughout the club. Otto subwoofer modules can also be ground-stacked for maximum low frequency impact on the dance floor. Adaptive processing will still work to optimize output and directivity to the extent possible, even with a ground-stacked configuration. - Page 19 Plan Venue View Section Venue View...

Page 20: Venue: House Of Worship - Fan
Venue: House of Worship – Fan Perspective Venue View This example represents a fan-shaped venue with a balcony, and sloped seating areas leading from the floor to the balcony on either side of the space. Utilizing three arrays of 4x modules each, Anna is able to provide an average 104 dB to every seat in the house, without supplemental fills. - Page 21 Plan Venue View Section Venue View...
-
Page 22: Venue: Theater
Venue: Theater Perspective Venue View This example represents a typical 2,500-seat proscenium theater with a deep orchestra and under- balcony space, and a steep balcony reaching a height far above array trim. Two arrays of 6x Anna modules, and two arrays of 2x Otto can handle nearly any SPL application necessary for this venue. With an average of 105 dBA, the system is capable of reproducing high SPL program material to every seat in the house, without supplemental fills. - Page 23 Plan Venue View Section Venue View...

Page 24: Venue: Arena
Venue: Arena Perspective Venue View In a typical 15,000-seat arena, a system of 20x Anya, 12x Anna, and 12x Otto will provide consistent 270° coverage, employing two arrays with main columns of 10x Anya modules each and outfill columns of 6x Anna modules each. Low frequency support is supplemented by two arrays of Otto, 6x modules each. - Page 25 Plan Venue View Section Venue View...

Page 26: Venue: Shed
Venue: Shed Perspective Venue View This example represents an outdoor “shed”-style venue, including a heavily-raked seating bowl and capacity of approximately 20,000 attendees. The system utilizes two arrays of 18x Anna modules each, and two arrays of 8x Otto modules each. Often situated in suburban areas, shed venues can be the source of community-sensitive noise issues. - Page 27 Plan Venue View Section Venue View...

Page 28: Venue: Stadium
This example illustrates a large stadium with the stage configured at one end, and seating wrapping around 270°. Each array consists of two columns: one of 18x Anya modules for the ‘long-throw’, and another column of 14x Anna modules for outfill. Even with a large throw distance differential between columns, SPL is remarkably consistent. - Page 29 Plan Venue View Section Venue View...

Page 30: Venue: Outdoor Festival
Anya has the ability to alter the coverage to whatever the needs are at any time. Coverage could be 0 to 50 feet at the beginning and 20 to 300 in the evening or anywhere in between. The ability to tailor the coverage in such a way minimizes unnecessary spill to the surrounding areas. - Page 31 32 Otto Modules (4x 8 modules) Variation: +/- 2 dB Otto Flybars Anya Flybars Rigging Requirements Adaptive Distro Racks (6) 2-ton motors*- Anya Accessory Cabling Package (4) 1-ton motors - Otto * Assumes two 2-ton motors for each 16-module Anya column.
