System configuration

The choice of a system configuration should be the result of an electro-acoustic study conducted by an expert (System
Engineer or Audio Consultant). However, this will not be discussed here as sound-design aspects are beyond the scope
of this manual. This study can rely on the simulations modeled in SOUNDVISION software, yielding electro-acoustic
predictions which take into account the enclosures' manufacturer data and particular situational usage, as well as the
projected environment.
Three operation modes ("FULL RANGE", "HIGH-PASS", and "LOW-EXTENSION"), each one associated with a set of
factory presets, will allow building all the common configurations (C, LR, LCR, distributed...).
The 8XT enclosures can be used as a standalone system in the "FULL RANGE'' mode or in combination with
subwoofers in the "HIGH-PASS'' and "LOW-EXTENSION'' modes.
For each mode a distinction is drawn between ''FRONT'', ''FILL'', and ''MONITOR'' presets as they respectively
match front-of-house, distributed, and half-space loading applications.
!
The MONITOR presets have been optimized from the 1.3 to the 2.0 preset library versions.
IMPORTANT
! The LA4 / LA4X output channel assignment varies with the preset selected by the user.
ALWAYS check that the 8XT enclosures are connected to correct LA4 / LA4X output channels
before operating.
CAUTION
Note: The latest version of the preset library can be supplied by an L-ACOUSTICS
also downloadable from the L-ACOUSTICS
