Line array speakers refer to multiple speakers of the same quality, all in one system. They’re arranged vertically, hence the term line array.
Unlike standard speakers, the sound doesn’t disperse much, which keeps it consistent even at a great distance. Here are a few of the advantages of using line array speakers.
1.Clear, consistent sound
Line array systems are commonly used in large venues. If you’ve been attending concerts in stadiums or arenas, you probably might have seen line array speakers in action countless times.
They offer great help in delivering clear, consistent quality sound throughout the venue, from the front to the back.
The sound is spread efficiently in the direction of the audience. Since the audience is most likely in front of you or the speaker, you need to keep the sound from bouncing in all directions. You can achieve this with line array speakers.
Reducing interference from the speaker to the receiver avoids watt wastage. The sound goes directly to the ears of your listeners, rather than being scattered all over the venue.
2.More efficient performance
You need a more powerful sound as the audience and venue increase. But you cannot simply blast the audio or the audience at the front will suffer.
With a sound that’s dispersed in a cylindrical manner, you minimize the volume lost even in far locations. You deliver clear sounds without making people at the front row feel uncomfortable.
The distance doesn’t affect the audio quality that much. The sound pressure remains consistent. Whether you’re at the front or at the back of the house, you’ll receive satisfying audio quality.
3.Less feedback
Reflections in the sound are fewer with line array speakers, so you can also expect less amount of feedback.
The speaker requires less output energy than a standard speaker. If the speaker is connected to a microphone, for instance, it will only capture a small amount of energy from the units closest to it.
In a typical standard speaker, the microphone will pick up a large amount of energy, which isn’t dispersed. The result is sound with high feedback.
Skip the horn-sounding speakers, choose line array speakers instead
Users and listeners will both love the benefits that line array systems offer. The sound waves reach farther areas with the least amount of distortion.
Be sure to speak with a professional to help you choose a specific speaker model or arrangement for your application. The line array system may look intimidating at first with its height and weight. But with proper planning, setting it up doesn’t have to be painstaking.
The supplier can recommend rigging products for a safe installation. You can fly or move the speakers through the air using rigging frames and support brackets. Take note of the venue’s specific measurements so you can also calculate how the speakers should be arranged.
Precision is crucial to avoid accidents. The tilting or angling should be done carefully with support from the right tools. Be sure your supplier can provide you with the tools you need to set up and configure your line array speakers.
