Independent or mixed 

 

This document only deals with independent rigging of the SB18m subwoofer enclosure. 
When using the SB18m enclosure as a companion to a main system, some combined configurations will imply 
the  set-up  of  mixed  arrays.  At  this  point,  it  is  especially  the  case  of  ARCS

®

WIDE/SB18m  or 

ARCS

®

FOCUS/SB18m  arrays.  Always  refer  to  the  rigging  manual  of  the  main  system  or  enclosure  to  get 

acquainted with the rigging procedures specific to the mixed main/sub arrays.  

 

 

Cardioid configuration 

The cardioid configuration is an array of 4 subwoofers with 1 reversed element.  
Refer to the subwoofer 

user manual 

for details about the CARDIOID operating mode.  

Any of the following arrangements can be set in cardioid configuration.
