Page 3: Line-Array Basics
Line-array basics What is a line-array? A line-array is a sound system made up out of a group of identical, omni-directional radiating elements oriented in a tightly spaced, straight line. If this line is long enough compared to the wavelength the elements behave acoustically as if it were a single source. The basics of this principle are employed in today‘s vertical line-array systems. -
