8. Arraying

As discussed in the previous section, comb filtering is a phenomenon, which cannot not be cured by equalisation. Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising problematic combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual coverage patters of each loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the V12HP cabinet greatly simplifies the creation of effective arrays, allowing seamless wide (130 degree) horizontal coverage using two loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.

By placing the V12HP cabinets with the 30 degree angled rear panels together, minimal dispersion pattern overlap is achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth transition.

In many applications the 75-degree dispersion pattern may be sufficient in the horizontal plane. It is also possible to stack the cabinets vertically using the above method, say for use in a central cluster, where greater vertical dispersion is required.

As shown in the above diagram, one of the V12HP cabinets is inverted to allow the optimum splay angle to be achieved. The grill can be simply removed from this cabinet and be replaced in the correct orientation. The grill is held in position by the two fixing screws on the top and bottom lips of the cabinet.

The cabinet is constructed from high-grade plywood and features a rugged finish that can withstand the rigors of professional use. Its curved cabinet shape helps to minimize resonance and distortion, leading to a cleaner and more accurate sound reproduction.

In terms of technology, the V12 HP incorporates a sophisticated crossover design. This ensures seamless integration between the low and high-frequency drivers while maintaining a linear frequency response. The crossover points are finely tuned to optimize performance across various sound frequencies, making the V12 HP suitable for both music production and live sound reinforcement.

The speaker's frequency response spans an impressive range, allowing it to reproduce low-end frequencies with power and clarity while delivering crisp and detailed highs. The V12 HP is capable of handling significant power, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments, from recording studios to auditoriums.

Connectivity is made convenient with balanced XLR and TRS inputs, providing compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The inclusion of a rear-panel EQ gives users the ability to make adjustments based on their specific acoustic environment, enabling a tailored listening experience.
