Variable Curvature Line Source

Perfect your understanding of line source behavior to optimize your mechanical design and use of electronic settings.

Learning objectives

Understand the acoustic behavior of a variable curvature line source and its sonic performances over the audience
Master the physical deployment of a variable curvature line so that electronic adjustments become optimization rather than correction
Design a variable curvature line source in Soundvision software, using advanced setting tools for inter-element angles and FIR filters

Prerequisites

• Knowledge in acoustics and live sound reproduction
• Technical English / Russian

Required Equipment

• Computer with a mouse and latest version of Soundvision and LA Network Manager software
• Personal protective equipment, including safety footwear. 
• Note pad and pen.

Earned benefits

Upon completion, the participant is granted with a Certificate and a 1-year account activation/extension on the online L-Acoustics Education platform.
