4.8 WSX application examples
The following sketches show how WSXs may be deployed for a wide range of
productions and types of venue. All productions and venues present their own unique
requirements and these examples are intended as a template or starting point for your
own specific design.
Examples 1 and 2 show typical set-ups for smaller venues.
(1) WSX set-up for small, high power variety/orchestral production
Gives medium vertical & wide horizontal coverage up to 120Hz - allowing for ground effects.
Example 1 uses small stacks of WSXs for a high power variety or orchestral
production as it is quite desirable to excite the natural room acoustic for this type of
application.
(2) WSX set-up for small, very high power dance/rock production
Gives very narrow vertical & wide horizontal coverage up to 120Hz - allowing for ground effects.
Example 2 shows a tight vertical set-up for a very high power dance or rock event
where it is desirable to keep low frequency energy concentrated on the audience for
maximum bass/mid-bass punch without excessive roof excitation. Note that the apron
WSXs are there to provide smooth nearfield coverage, balance backline leakage and
keep the overall sound image locked onto the stage. The closer spacing, used for the
very high power set-ups, helps maintain bass/mid-bass focus out to the midfield/mix
position.
