Pull Back

The pull-back accessories (PL-LA8-PB, PL-LA12-PB) are not included in EASE simulation. They should be used when the Pinpoint 11 of the array frame does not allow reach to the desired Down Tilt. (See negative Delta near the Pinpoint drop list.) In this case, EASE won’t produce an accurate mechanical calculation as a part of the load supported by the pull-back.

Please refer to https://support.qsys.com/en_US/pl-la-series-rigging-guide for more information about pull-back use.

Flying PL-SUB18 + PL-LA12-AF in the same array

1. Use the Setup  "Flown : PL-SUB18 + PL-LA12-AF" that allows an array of PL-SUB18 Cabinets (either PL-SUB18 or PL-SUB18 CARDIO -facing backward-).

2. Selecting the “Straight Link” (in the Cabinet drop list) will change the remaining Cabinets into PL-LA12s.

3. Crossover

The crossover is located within the filter settings. In EASE, a simplified 100 Hz crossover is implemented and labeled simply as “Crossover.”

For simulation purposes, acoustic results in Q-SYS are consistent whether using an 80 Hz, 100 Hz, or 125 Hz crossover.

Deploying PL-SUB18 on the Ground

As the default mode is FLY you have to change to Omni Ground (or Cardioid Ground) in the “Filter Settings”. Due the the ground coupling this setting will add +6dB to the Max SPL

Setup

Contains the following Setups (refer to the User Manual for detail).

Flown : PL-LA-AF Down Tilt This configuration uses the Array Frame in its default position.
Flown : PL-LA-AF Up Tilt This configuration uses the Array Frame in its reversed position allowing a larger up tilt.
Flown : PL-SUB18 + PL-LA12-AF This Setup allows an array of PL-SUB18 Cabinets (either PL-SUB18 or PL-SUB18 CARDIO -facing backward-). Selecting the “Straight Link” (in the Cabinet drop list) will change the remaining Cabinets into PL-LA12s.
Ground Stack : No SUB Ground stacking of the PL-LA imply the use of the Array Frame upside down.
Ground Stack : SUB Use the PL-SUB18 instead of the Array Frame. No Array Frame are needed as the PL-LA12 uses the integrated rigging of the PL-SUB18. As the default mode is FLY you have to change to Omni Ground (or Cardioid Ground) in the “Filter Settings” of the PL-SUB18. Due the the ground coupling this setting will add +6dB to the Max SPL
Flown : PL-SUB18 Column Use this setting when wanting to deploy a column of PL-SUB18.

All PL-CA Models Included in a Single GLL. Their directivity being symmetrical on the Vertical Mode is available (except PL-CA12 for deployement with PL-SUB15)

PL-CA Alone

Use this configuration to deploy a single PL-CA loudspeaker. Select the appropriate loudspeaker model from the Cabinet list.

Flown Configuration: PL-SUB15 + PL-CA12

Set up a flown cluster consisting of one PL-SUB15 (with its suspension frame) and a single PL-CA12.

• When using the slot of the PL-CA12-LK link, the PL-CA12 angle can be adjusted from -5° to +40°.
• When using the hole of the PL-CA12-LK link, the PL-CA12 is fixed at a 26° downward tilt.

Refer to the user manual for detailed mounting instructions.

Flown Configuration: PL-SUB15 Alone

Deploy a single PL-SUB15 using the PL-CA15-AF suspension frame.

Other PL-SUBs are available in the PL-SUB GLL.

PL-DC can been deployed Horizontally and Vertically by selecting the corresponding setup.

All PL-DC Models Included in a Single GLL, use the Cabinet dropdown list in the Rigging tab.

Configure the directivity in the Filter Settings.

H is the horizontal directivity considering the Cabinet Orientation defined in the Setup.

V45-60 refers to the mix of the half horn (refer to the user manual for more explanation), while a value as V120 means that both half horns are identical (in this example 60+60)

If you want to deploy the PL-SUB18 in Array or within the PL-LA12 array, use the PL-LA12 GLL.

All models are included in this GLL. You can find the model selection in the Cabinet dropdown list of the Rigging Tab.

This GLL allows the PL-SUB single Flown or Ground deployment. The Default Setting is Ground. You can find the Fly setting under the Input Configuration dropdown in the Filter Settings tab.

EASE ADDRESS

AD-DWL models are landscape-oriented loudspeakers designed to be placed on the ground. To ensure accurate maximum SPL calculations in EASE ADDRESS, please set the following parameters:

• Room Height: 1 meter
• Ear Height: 0 meters

Directivity and Source Orientation

EASE ADDRESS does not support source rotation. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a dedicated set of AD-DWL GLLs specifically for EASE ADDRESS. These allow for directional source placement:

• AD-DWL180: 4 quadrants (Top, Bottom, Right, Left))
• AD-DWL360: 2 quadrants (TopBottom, LeftRight)

The graph below illustrates the output of the four DLLs for the AD-DWL180 at 4 kHz (⅓ octave). This directional effect is most prominent between 1 kHz and 5 kHz. At lower frequencies, directivity is naturally less pronounced, while at higher frequencies, diffraction effects may influence the directivity pattern.

The graph below illustrates the same for both AD-DWL360.
