Configurations Overview

For most low to medium-high volume applications. MicroWedge 12 and MicroWedge 15 offer smooth side-to-side coverage at volume levels that exceed much larger wedges. The coaxial design provides a single point source that is extremely stable and smooth throughout the coverage area.

DUAL MICROWEDGE - NARROW SPACING

In applications where more volume (than provided by a single wedge) is required, and where keeping the coverage of the mix localized is preferred. The “sweet spot” will be fairly narrow from side to side, and applies mainly to covering a stationary performer. The distance between the wedges is equal to one MicroWedge.

DUAL MICROWEDGE - WIDE SPACING

The optimum spacing in most applications when using two MicroWedges. The wider spacing (approximately two MicroWedges) greatly increases the side-to-side width of the “sweet spot” while maintaining the increased volume realized with two wedges. Additionally the “stereo sounding” effect of having two sources will be more apparent as the distance between the MicroWedges is increased.

TRIPLE MICROWEDGE ON TWO SEPARATE MIXES

This is an exceptionally effective setup that maximizes the advantages of the trapezoidal angle design of MicroWedge Series cabinets. Vocals are usually run to the outside monitors, and the instruments to the center wedge. There are several advantages achieved by separating the instruments from the vocals, including improved coverage and clarity...

DUAL MICROWEDGE 12 WITH MICROWEDGE 15 CENTERED ON TWO SEPARATE MIXES

This configuration is extremely effective in producing substantial lowfrequency energy while maintaining a very high level of vocal clarity and volume. Like the triple MicroWedge setup above, instruments are usually sent to the center wedge mix and vocals to the outside monitors.

Also Keep In Mind…

• Avoid putting two MicroWedges directly side by side when they are reproducing the same signal. Each MicroWedge acts as a single-point source and when put in close proximity to one another, they begin to act effectively as a line array. While in some applications this may be beneficial, typically it will result in horizontal coverage that is too narrow, also decreasing feedback stability.
• Increasing the distance between two wedges reproducing the same signal results in an increase in side-to-side coverage, and it also reduces interference between the wedges.
• While very compact, the MicroWedge Series provides considerably more usable output in comparison to other wedges. Further, the floor porting, no parallel walls, coaxial design and high output all combine to offer an amazing level of clarity and stability. Thus, whenever possible, use the minimum amount of wedges necessary to cover the area, and focus on minimizing interference from multiple sources at the various listening positions.
