THE INNOVATIVE MULTICELL TRANSFORMER
To date, there have been two ways to construct long range speaker
systems. The time-tested approach is to use long throw horns.
They have to have very large mouths and deep enclosures to
accommodate the horn’s throat, so the housings are huge. Plus,
there’s a lot of real estate inside the horn. These surfaces cause
resonances and reflections that manifest as distortion, particularly
at high frequencies. This distortion puts a very low cap on the
maximum achievable sound pressure.
The other option for long throw applications, the line array, has been
around for about 20 years. Waveguides shape the wave-front so
that the line array is able to render even high frequencies well. The
downside is that you have to haul, assemble and align a whole lot
of speakers even for small or medium-scale events, which costs you
truck space, time and money.
