Martin Audio WLXGS manual Array shapes vs coverage

Symmetrically coupled 2-wide columns show a slight improvement in mid-bass amplitude and polar response - but the effect becomes insignificant in large, flat fronted arrays or widely spaced stage apron systems.

2-wide symmetrical columns of WLX/WLXGS may be horizontally arrayed to improve mid-bass coverage.

The following table shows the sound pressure boost and coverage provided by a variety of flat fronted arrays:
