    Speakers IBIZA S 218 A includes two 18” Beyma speakers with neodymium magnet. Main characteristics Power handling of 1600 W RMS / 3200 W program Exclusive cooling system with Malt Cross technology * Optimized neodymium magnetic circuit 4” DUO Double Layer Input / Output Copper Voice Coil NCR exclusive membrane (Neck Coupling Reinforcement) 9,5 Kg weight (per unit) Optimized to deliver great LF range performance...
  • Page 15 Architectural * Malt Cross technology allows the speaker to handle higher powers with a given coil diameter, reducing weight and increasing sensitivity, while maintaining a total output SPL equivalent to a bigger and heavier speaker. Malt Cross technology is an internal forced convection circuit that allows the working temperature of the voice coil to be reduced and, likewise, acts as a demodulator ring, linearizing the inductance of the transducer.

  • Page 30: Placement For Best Performance

    Placement for best performance Generally, the construction of a subwoofer system generates omnidirectional sound dispersion, incorrect placement of subwoofer systems can generate undesirable effects on sound dispersion, such as cancellations (passages), excessive summation in the rear, poor coverage in the public area, etc.

  • Page 31: L & R Stack

    L & R stack subwoofers configuration Using 3 subwoofers in stack format The results are very similar to those obtained with the block configuration are obtained. We gain some dB, but still had no control at the rear. Not having control over the rear generates more dB in the audience area, but it will bother your stage colleagues.

  • Page 32: Reversed Stack

    Reversed stack configuration Placing three subwoofers in a stack format, with one of its units reversed. Next, we will place the measurement microphone on the back, with the subwoofer in reversed position disconnected and the other two subwoofers on work, we will take a phase reference.

  • Page 33: End-Fired

    End-Fired configuration Placing four in-line subwoofers, one after the other. Although it is not a cardioid configuration, it is directional, producing attenuation in the rear and quite a bit in the front. The physical separation distance between subwoofers will be determined by the key frequency.
  • Page 34 Result of our configuration. Completely matched in phase Lobe behavior after applying the electronic delay As a result, in the rear part we obtain a large sum of constructive frequencies as all the sources are in 90º phase (summation), on the contrary in the rear part we have the four units in 180º...

  • Page 35: In-Line Cardioid

    In-line cardioid configuration Using two in-line subwoofers. This configuration is formed with two sources spaced ¼ of the wavelength of the key frequency that we select. It is necessary to be clear about this concept; two parallel signals but with different paths, at the same point produce comb filters.
  • Page 36 What happen? Total cancellation of destructive frequencies. By simply reversing the polarity of the rear sub we once again have summation or constructive frequencies on the front. Since the rear sub is physically distanced 90º from the front and another 90º electronically; 90º - 90º...

  • Page 37: In-Line Horizontal

    In-line horizontal configuration Placing eight subwoofers besides to each other. This configuration is based on the theory of Harry F. Olson published in his book “Acoustical Engineering” in which it is mentioned that; placing two speakers at a distance equal to or less than half the wavelength of the upper cut-off frequency will create a highly directional forward lobe of energy.
  • Page 38 Once the subs are placed 1.70 m from each other, we will see the behavior of different frequencies to different degrees, taking the central axis as a reference. To observe the existing phase relationship in degrees we will use the formula; D x F x 360 / 340 D;...

  • Page 39: In-Arc (Virtual And Physical)

    In-arc configuration As with the configuration of eight subwoofers in-line horizontal, the difference is that we are going to sacrifice pressure in the central part, in exchange for gaining general coverage and reducing the pressure level on the stage. Taking the previous example as a starting point; we place the subwoofers at a distance of 1.70 m from each other and apply the following delays;...
