In 2010, Martin Audio brought a radical new approach to touring sound with the Multi-cellular Loudspeaker Array (MLA), an integrated system that is self-powered with six channels of amplification and DSP, networked with both audio and control on the same cable. Furthering the package is a combination of cellular drive and fast, automated optimization software. Cellular technology helps achieve phase-coherent summation across the respective coverage area, holding both frequency response and SPL within a very tight, user-specified window. The new…

If one could listen to only the direct sound of a loudspeaker, the world would be a very different place! Unfortunately, free field listening, where you have no reflections, room modes or ambient noise, is hard to achieve in everyday life, so we listen to loudspeakers in real rooms. The interaction of a loudspeaker system and a room can be very complex to understand, model or measure! One way to measure this interaction is to measure the impulse response of…

A single source of sound is best for the spoken word, whenever possible. In a perfect world, as it relates to audio systems for worship, it’s best practice to place the sanctuary main loudspeakers in a central cluster above the front edge of the chancel riser. The loudspeaker (or loudspeakers) are selected to provide pattern coverage over…
