Conventional Speakers VS Plane Array™

Line Array Systems

EDC Acoustics Plane Array^TM) technology provides a unique scalability. With a conventional loudspeaker, each is designed with specific horizontal and vertical pattern control. When additional SPL is required it is typical that a second speaker is used 'side-by-side' to provide additional power. The operator is required to direct each speaker towards a different part of the room to negate comb filtering effects. This results inlow frequency summation (SPL increase) but negligible high frequency summation.The system becomes louder in the lower frequencies, but not the high frequencies. An operator can overlap high frequency horns, but this creates complex interference and comb filtering, providing both constructive and destructive interference in the near field - impacting both SPL and sound quality. With EDC Acoustics Plane Array^TM technology the operator can add additional speakers, and each cluster acts as a single speaker. This provides a broadband SPL increase across the entire audio bandwidth (including the HF), whilst avoiding complex interference - retaining acoustic quality whilst providing more SPL. An EDC Acoustics Plane Array^TM also provides the added benefit of being capable of producing adaptable3-Dimensional acoustics wavefronts not possible with a conventional speaker system - and can do so using one single inventory item. A conventional speaker can only produce what it is mechanically designed and manufactured to produce.
