Speaker Array

Speaker Array #

The Speaker Array in G05 is a 12.2 Configuration. There are 6 speakers around the top of the room, 6 around the bottom and 2 subs. The Speakers are fed sound via XLR cables routed back to the patch panel at the back of the room, and power via PowerCon cables routed to each speaker location.

There is a third connection on the speakers which is an RS232 Serial connection which is daisy chained through all of the speakers.This connection allows aspects of the speakers to be tuned remotely using a software package (WinControl) and a USB->RS232 Controller Box (Installed in the Rack). This box and software are used only by Rob, if something is wrong let him know and he will come and reset the system.

The most common problem with the array is that one speaker commonly forgets it’s programming. One of the speakers Up-Stage-Right will be louder than all the other speakers which makes the whole space seem uneven and tilted towards that corner. This can be verified by playing a sound of equal volume through all the speakers and turning them up one by one.
