Martin Audio introduced the addition of scalable resolution powered by IK81 amplifiers and updated DISPLAY array optimisation software to its O-Line.
More details from Martin Audio (www.martin-audio.com):
At ISE we announced that O-Line has been given extra powers of coverage, consistency and control thanks to the addition of scalable resolution driven by Martin Audio’s IK81 amplifiers and updated DISPLAY array optimisation software.
O-Line is a versatile micro line array designed for a wide variety of architectural applications – from houses of worship to transport terminals. In many applications an O-Line array can be driven using only one amplifier channel, with simple EQ and limiting the only processing required.
However, it can now also be taken into a new dimension of coverage, consistency and control when combined with an iKON iK81 eight-channel amplifier with onboard DSP to independently control and power each individual enclosure or groups of enclosures. This unlocks the full potential of O-Line — further refining coverage consistency and increasing the ability to ‘dial-out’ the influence of the room by accessing DISPLAY’s ‘hard avoid’ capability and electronically adjustable coverage to tackle the most difficult acoustic spaces.
To support scalable resolution and optimsation of O-Line, Display 2.3.1 is now ready to download.
Registration is required and new users to Display will need to watch an introductory video in order to receive a one-time unlock code for the software.
GLL files for MLA Compact, MLA Mini, WPC, WPM and now O-Line are also bundled with the software and can only be used in conjunction with Display 2.3. A full user guide is also available.
Display 2.3 is a unique software application for MLA and Wavefront Precision systems which calculates both inter-cabinet splay angles and the DSP parameters for optimum system performance in any given space.
Unlike competitor systems, which generally use a basic geometric calculation to aim their arrays, Display adopts a completely revolutionary and patented approach. Using an extremely accurate computer model of the array to analyse the system performance in a drawing of the venue it is possible to calculate precisely the parameters for the system, in order to get exactly the coverage that has been specified.
As a system designer you get to determine exactly how you would like the system to perform in the space. This includes the SPL contour from the front to the back of your audience region, how much spill into non-audience areas is acceptable – and it will even specify designated “hard-avoid” areas that the system will actively process to reduce spill to a minimum; great for producing a quiet stage or for reducing reflection from a wall or balcony.
