1 Introduction

The L-Acoustics

®

amplified controllers are delivered with onboard firmware and preset library.

A preset of the onboard library can be loaded from the front panel of the amplified controller, or from the

LA Network Manager software application, a management tool dedicated to the remote control and monitoring of a network of L-Acoustics ® amplified controllers.

LA Network Manager must be used for updating firmware on L-Acoustics ® amplified controllers. An up-todate preset library is automatically installed with the firmware. Check the L-Acoustics

®

website for the latest version of software, firmware and libraries.

Operating L-Acoustics

®

amplified controllers

Refer to the LA4, LA4X, LA8 and LA-RAK user manuals.

Installing LA Network Manager software

Download the LA Amplified Controllers release pack and refer to the Readme file.

Updating Firmware on an L-Acoustics ®

amplified controller

Refer to the LA Network Manager video tutorial, accessible from the software.

2 Preset design

2.1 Gain structure

The gains of all L-Acoustics ® factory presets are calibrated with a reference pink noise signal, representative of most demanding musical programs. The reference input level is 0 dBu with analog audio source or -22 dBFS with digital audio source. When feeding L-Acoustics ® amplified controllers at this input level, L-Acoustics ® loudspeaker enclosures provide the sound engineer with 8 dB of headroom, except for the ones of smaller format - MTD108a, 5XT, 8XT, Kiva, SB15m and Kilo - calibrated for 4 dB of headroom.

This gain structure facilitates managing the power resources of L-Acoustics

®

systems when using various types of enclosures of the same format. With default output gain settings (0 dB), all enclosures will reach their limits for the same input signal level. The only gain adjustment to apply is -4 dB for MTD108a, 5XT, 8XT, Kiva,

SB15m or Kilo enclosures that would be used along with L-Acoustics ® loudspeaker enclosures of bigger format.

2.2 Electro-acoustic coupling

Each recommended loudspeaker configuration provides a coherent sound source, by implementing a loudspeaker system in a specific deployment pattern and with defined factory presets.

L-Acoustics ® factory presets secure the coupling between the different transducer sections, whether it is internal coupling as in active loudspeaker enclosures, or external coupling as when several loudspeaker enclosures are combined.

Users can adjust preset parameters on top of factory settings and for predefined channel sets.

Channel sets have been defined for the presets dedicated to active loudspeaker enclosures and to some specific loudspeaker configurations. A channel set maintains a coherent coupling by linking several output channels for the setting of routing, gain and delay parameters. For example, [LF HF] is a channel set for 2-way loudspeaker enclosure presets, and [SR SB SB SB] is a channel set for cardioid subwoofer presets.

The sections 4 to 7 of this document are dedicated to the different L-Acoustics ® product families. They feature tables describing the recommended loudspeaker configurations for each system, with the corresponding factory presets and the main resulting acoustic properties.

When applicable, refer to the user manual of the related system for the limit between coupled vs separated subwoofers.

For some loudspeaker enclosure combinations, it is still necessary to adjust the delay values for time-alignment.

Refer to section 8 for pre-alignment delay values.


6

2.3 Frequency response contour

For coaxial loudspeaker enclosures, L-Acoustics ® provides 3 distinct contours:



The _FR presets, for most of FOH applications;



The _FI presets, for spoken word, classical music, jazz, or fill systems;



The _MO presets, for half-space loading conditions, typically monitor applications.

For current WST ® systems, L-Acoustics ® provides 1 or 2 distinct contours:



A main preset, ensuring a reference FOH contour to the line source with usual deployment parameters;



An additional _FI preset, for some systems only, dedicated to loudspeaker enclosures used as a fill system.

The oldest WST ® systems inherit from a legacy preset structure (_HI and _LO presets).

If necessary, users can adjust the sonic signature of L-Acoustics

® systems through the Contour EQ tools in LA

Network Manager.

The Array Morphing tool provides two parameters, zoom factor and LF contour, that allow users to adjust the response of a WST ® system. At any reference listening distance and with any line source length, the engineer can obtain the sonic signature of a bigger, smaller, closer or further system, and can unify the sonic signature of multiple sources. Refer to the LA Network Manager video tutorial and ARRAY MORPHING white

paper for detailed information.

3 Onboard preset libraries

Power resources

Each onboard preset library includes the L-Acoustics ® loudspeaker enclosures whose power requirements match the delivering capability of the corresponding amplified controller.

LA8 Preset Library covers all L-Acoustics

®

loudspeaker enclosures. LA4X Preset Library is restricted to loudspeaker enclosures that require no more than 1000 W into 8 Ω or 1000 W into

4 Ω. LA4 Preset Library is restricted to loudspeaker enclosures that require no more than 800 W into 8 Ω or 1000 W into 4 Ω.

3.4 FLAT presets

Protection

The transducer connected to an output channel of a flat preset is not protected by L-DRIVE. The only active limitation allows minimizing clipping risks to protect the amplifier.

When driving a 3 rd party loudspeaker enclosure, it is then recommended to use an external DSP device with a preset specifically designed for this model.

With a flat preset, an input signal is amplified and directly routed to output without any modification of the frequency response. All the output parameters are accessible (Mute, Gain, Delay, Polarity, and Routing).

Using the [FLAT_

] preset with LA4 or LA4X provides 6 dB of headroom. Using the [FLAT_LA8] preset with

LA8 provides 8 dB of headroom.

4 Variable curvature WST systems

The factory presets dedicated to variable curvature WST ® line sources are optimized for long throw applications.

In the following sections, tables describe the loudspeaker configurations and the factory presets for each system. Discriminant acoustic properties of each loudspeaker configuration are given, such as -10 dB bandwidth or LF limit, frequency response contour, or directivity specificity.

4.1 K1

Compatibility issues

[K1] and [KARADOWNK1] from Preset Library 4.x are not compatible with [K1] and

[KARADOWNK1] from earlier versions of the Preset Library.

[K2

] presets are not compatible with [K1] from earlier versions of the Preset Library.

Compatibility issues may occur when working from a Session file with units using older presets.

Use the same version of the Preset Library for all units within a single line source.

8 Pre-alignment delay values

Time-alignment from geometric measurements

When combining several loudspeaker systems, it is important to adjust their delay values to optimize acoustic summation. If no acoustic measurement tool is available, it is possible to use the pre-

alignment delay values given in the tables on this section.

Pre-alignment delays have been measured with the enclosures at the same geometric location, front face on the same plane.

After adding these values to the factory presets, time-alignment is then obtained by adding the

geometric delay to the closest system. The geometric delay is calculated from the path difference between a reference listening point and the center of each system.

How to proceed?

1. Measure the Path difference: PA - PB, with:

- P: reference listening point,

- A: center of the further system, named system a,

- B: center of the closest system, named system b.

2. Calculate the Geometric delay (s): Path difference (m) / Sound velocity (m.s

-1 ), with:

- Sound velocity ≈ 340 m.s

-1 at 20°C and in dry air.

3. Refer to the tables of this section to find the Pre-alignment delay a and the Pre-alignment delay b, corresponding to the system a + system b combination.

4. Add the Alignment delay to the factory preset of each system. Being the closest to the reference listening point, the geometric delay must be added to the system b only:

- Alignment delay (ms) for system a = Pre-alignment delay a (ms),

- Alignment delay (ms) for system b = Pre-alignment delay b (ms) + Geometric delay (ms).

Normalization: If ≠ 0, retrieve Pre-alignment delay a to both Alignment delay values.

Illustrated example 1: line source + separated subwoofer

Laser rangefinders

The L-Acoustics ® Tech Toolcase includes two laser devices that can be used for geometric measurements:

TruPulse™ 200 and Leica DISTO™ D3.
