This time in Real World Gear we look at the big guns - large format line arrays, those with 12-inch and larger woofers. Line arrays are modular, multi-way enclosures arrayed in vertical columns, with their cabinet’s geometry optimized to provide full-frequency transducer coupling from one enclosure to the next along the height of the array. This is achieved at lower frequencies with cone transducers forming a column from one cabinet to the next, at frequencies where the distance between their…

Line arrays in theory are based on omni-directional sources, placed relatively close together, so subwoofers are the perfect choice for building a line array just by their nature. The vertical coverage is controlled by the (vertical) length of the array. Ten boxes, which is a length of about six meters, provide a good directivity down to frequencies of about 45… View this story
