• Full-stack System with Cardioid Subwoofers
(two subwoofers per side)
SONAR 115 Sub D comes with two presets, Cardioid Front and Cardioid Rear,
that provide a fast, easy way of confi guring eff ective cardioid setups.
Note: For a cardioid setups to work properly, the two subwoofers must be
stacked on top of each other. The top subwoofer (sub #1) has to face the
audience (Front); the bottom subwoofer (sub #2) has to face the stage
(Rear). A side-by-side array will not achieve the desired eff ect! Also, be
sure to always maintain a distance of at least one meter from walls.

items Bass Boost, Polarity, X-Over and Delay are locked and cannot be
changed by the user (see "2.2 Menu items / Mode").
Good to know: While speakers are able to throw midrange and high
frequencies in directional patterns, low frequencies tend to radiate in all
directions. Excessive bass levels can often be a problem on and behind the
stage. These days, demands for limiting low-range frequencies' throw range
to clean up the on-stage sound with cardioid subwoofer confi gurations.
What is a cardioid setup? Put simply, it's a bass rig where one or more
subwoofer(s) points towards the audience and the other subwoofer(s)
face(s) the stage. With some phase rotation and delays, this setup
delivers practically undiminished bass response to the front while heavily
attenuating the amount of bass thrown to the rear. This cleans up the on-
stage sound.
Good to know: Set the rearward-facing subwoofer's Display Dim option to
On if the light is distracting. This temporary setting is lost when the unit
powers down. You'll have to set this option again every time you power the
unit up.
