Processor page
The Processor page shows a controller-to-amplifier patch table and indicates which
controller settings to use for the design. The system patch is very important because it
controls the level of band-zoning applied to the array.
Please ensure that your system patch and controller preset selection is correct by
following ViewPoint's recommendations and by following the patch information in the
appropriate Quick Start Guide towards the end of this document.
Controller presets
The recommended DX1 or XTA DP226 controller preset is shown on the Processor page.
Most of our line array controller presets include extra channels for Band-zoning. Band-
zoning is a technique of splitting the array into various MF and HF zones to provide more
air absorption compensation for the upper (longer throw) sections.
Rack patches
Historically, cabinets in large loudspeaker array have been numbered from top to bottom
(see the CAB column in the patch table). Unfortunately, this traditional numbering
scheme is not well suited to line array technology because line arrays tend to be band-
zoned and grouped from the bottom up. Arrays are extended by adding straighter sections
