11) Front splays may also be selected. By default, the software has this feature turned o. Opening
the fronts of EAW line array enclosures is possible but not highly recommended. Best results
are obtained when the fronts are tight together but there are occasions when audio triage
is necessary either to cover the entire audience due to an insucient number of enclosures
on hand or to try and split an array to miss reections from a balcony face, etc. The feature is
normally o so you will have to turn it on.
12) Coverage allows the user to modify the start and end of coverage as was mentioned earlier.
Checking the “Modify Coverage” button opens the feature and allows the user to dene new
start and end of coverage conditions for the array. These modications will be displayed on the
mapping page as a set of vertical, dashed blue bars.
13) The user may also select “Allow Upper Overshoot”. This uses the top enclosures green “on-
axis” aiming line to dene the top of coverage as opposed to the red “Top Of Coverage” line
normally used to dene the end of coverage. This can be a desirable change as it can mean
more SPL being delivered to the back of the audience however care should be used as it also
means there could be enhanced slap back and reections caused when using this feature
indoors.
14) Next the coverage goals are dened using a simple pair of sliders. The rst slider named
“Coverage Goal” basically controls the trim height of the array. By ying the array higher
and tilting it down more, we can provide a more even coverage of the SPL front to back of
the venue. This is not always desirable as it does raise the array away from the front of the
audience. Certain types of music such as Heavy Metal may actually prefer to have the array
quite loud at the front. This feature is also limited by available trim height in the venue as well.
15) Finally, the “SPL Requirement” slider can be used to dene how many enclosures the software
will pull to create the array. With the slider all the way left to “spoken word”, the software will
pull the least amount of enclosures possible to cover the audience area. If the slider is pulled
full right to “11”, the software will pull all available enclosures as you had dened on the
previous panel maximizing SPL for that particular audience conguration.
