CHAPTER 4: MOUNTING ULTRA XP LOUDSPEAKERS

the array adapter plate’s rear pickup holes for addi-

tional support or to provide control over the vertical

tilt.

TIP: To create optimum coverage in vertical

arrays, the splay angles between loudspeakers

should be 30 degrees when the VariO horns are in the

80-degree horizontal by 50-degree vertical position

(this yields a vertical coverage of 80 degrees). Angles

less than 30 degrees between loudspeakers can

cause too much interaction between the loudspeak-

ers, while angles greater than 30 degrees can yield

holes in the coverage.

Floor Monitoring with Array Adapters

The array adapters can be used to position the UPJ-1XP

and UPJunior-XP loudspeakers as floor monitors with the

front adjustment slot being used to adjust the angle of the

loudspeaker. The following illustrations show the stowed

position, for when the loudspeaker is not in use (Figure 4),

as well as some of the more common angle configurations.
