7. OPEN ARRAY 2 AND AIMING
As anticipated, OpenArray2 software enables to
obtain a clear prediction of sound coverage achieva-
ble by the Outline system chosen for any given event
or permanent installation. More specifically, as well
as the effects of mutual coupling already mentioned,
the software is able to offer an overview of what will
be the best choice of aiming of the system with re-
spect to the area to be covered, considering all its
variations: number of elements, ground stacks or
flown arrays, position and height of the array, angle
of the array, splay angle of the elements, electronic
parameters (gain, polarity, delay), simulation of the
frequency response in various points of the audience
area.
OpenArray2 will provide reliable prediction, always
to be considered in the direct field. It is obviously im-
portant to remember that the final acoustic results
obtained once the system is installed on-site can vary
according to the various contexts and locations of
use (open spaces, acoustically treated indoor venues,
particularly reverberating ones, etc.). So it is possible
to consider the eventuality of modifying the design,
providing the safety parameters imposed by
OpenAr-
ray2 are respected. All the details can be found in the
“
Superfly / Mantas 28 Rigging Manual”.
