Now, let’s investigate the multiple beam capabilities of Iconyx.

In many installations, a single beam is the ideal solution for the room’s acoustical

challenges. In some cases, however, multiple beams are needed to provide the

desired coverage. Rooms with a balcony are a good example; in most cases a

single beam can’t cover both the main oor and the balcony.

One solution is two line arrays, one for the oor and the other for the balcony,

but this is expensive. In other cases, architectural considerations or microphone

placement dictate that the column be mounted higher than is ideal and it’s

impossible to cover the audience area with a single beam.

Iconyx solves these problems by offering multiple beams, with each beam having

its own movable acoustic center. To explore this unique Iconyx feature, click on

the drop down arrow associated with the eld showing the number of Beams.

Notice that on the ICL-FR for example. you can select up to a maximum of 4

beams. It’s up to eight on a Dual ICL-FR. For now, select 2 to add a second

beam to the graphic.

At rst glance it may appear that nothing happened since the program may have

placed the second beam on top of the rst beam. One way to tell that a second

beam has been added is that the left side of the window now includes a Beam

Parameter Center 2 section. In the graph, the second beam is identied with a

dark blue aiming point.

The Center eld and the drop down arrow and slider associated with it allow you

to move the beam’s acoustic center up and down the length of the array.

Notice that the second beam also includes a Relative Level eld. This allows you

to reduce the level of this beam relative to the rst beam, a useful feature when

the second beam is covering the front of the audience area.

Take a few minutes now to become acquainted with the many design possibili-

ties offered by Iconyx steerable arrays

by playing around with the number of

beams, their opening angles, their aim-

ing and their relative levels.

One of the things you will notice is that

as the number of beams increases, the

output level of the individual beams

decreases.
