5.5.1 Introduction

ViewPoint software will automatically calculate the splay angles of a W8L
Series array and will indicate the optimum controller (processor) preset and
amplifier patch information once venue and array data has been entered. You
can print out array, venue, rigging and patch information and save your work
to disk.
Note that ViewPoint produces results based on high resolution loudspeaker data and the
audience coverage but you must use the amplifier patch and one of the controller preset
indicated for accurate Band Zoning and smooth coverage.
The controller preset names shown on ViewPoint correspond to the preset names on our
DX1, XTA DP226 or XTA AudioCore data files.
Please ensure that your controllers are set to our standard presets and that your system
follows the recommended patch configuration (see sections 5.10,
end of this Applications Guide) for the W8L Series loudspeaker in use.
Users should start with a unity gain, zero delay, flat frequency response controller input
section and revert back to our standard presets at the beginning of each venue setup to
avoid using settings contaminated with input equalization or system delays from a
previous gig.
