3) Be divided into easily understood sections (eg Main, midfield, downfill etc)

and clearly labelled so that adjustments may be made quickly and efficiently.

The schematic above shows a simple system using a Martin Audio DX1 Loudspeaker

Management System configured as a 2 x 3way crossover controlling W8Cs switched

for passive high-mid/high sections and W8CS subwoofers.

See the Section 1.5 for further DX1 information and Section 2 of this applications

guide for a more complex example.

1.4.1 Cluster sub-sections

When designing a large sound system it is worth spending a little time working out a

sensible cluster patch to optimise audience coverage.

The following example is a 4 wide, 4 deep W8C classical music centre cluster

divided into farfield, midfield, nearfield and downfill horizontal rows and inner and

outer vertical columns. The active (3-way) W8Cs may be patched in pairs for

symmetrical control.
