LOUDSPEAKER CONFIGURATIONS 

3.1

 

Standard configuration 

In standard configuration, a subwoofer system operates with an omni-directional directivity pattern.  
It corresponds to the use of subwoofers as single elements or as standard subwoofer arrays. 
The SB15m subwoofers are driven by the LA8 or the LA4 amplified controller with one factory preset offering a 100 Hz 
upper frequency limit.

Delay settings 

When combining a line source with subwoofers, delays may have to be added to the presets. Refer to the 

LA4 

or

 LA8 PRESET LIBRARY user manual

 to obtain the pre-alignment delay values. 

 

OBLIGATION 

Place the subwoofer enclosures side by side. If not possible, the maximum distance between two adjacent 

acoustic centers must be 1.7 m.
