Native Mode
In this section:

LINA and 750-LFC loudspeakers are optimized for use in certain flown and groundstacked configurations without any array compensation or other signal processing. This capability, called Native mode, allows LINA/750-LFC systems to be deployed quickly with excellent results, without equalization, tuning, or use of presets.

To use LINA and 750-LFC loudspeakers in Native mode, send an identical, unmodified signal to each element in the array. Looping the same unprocessed source signal through all array elements is the simplest approach.

The following coplanar configurations can be used in Native mode (without any signal processing):

  • Flown mixed arrays of LINAs and 750-LFCs

  • Flown separate arrays of LINAs and 750-LFCs

Note

  • Native mode should not be used with more advanced configurations, such as those where 750-LFCs and LINAs are not coplanar, or those requiring delay offsets to align subsystems or to create directional low-frequency control. These systems require additional processing.

  • For Native mode to work properly, the source signal must be correctly configured with the appropriate gain structure.

Caution

Make sure that all cabling for looped loudspeakers is wired correctly (Pin 1 to Pin 1, Pin 2 to Pin 2, and so forth) to prevent the polarity from being reversed. If one or more loudspeakers in a system have reversed polarity, frequency response and coverage will be significantly degraded.
