1 Line Array Approaches
in Recent Years
Line arrays are a fixture on the contemporary sound
reinforcement scene. The design principle has its
origins in the stacks of cone loudspeakers that were
popular in the '70s.
Some 20 years later, the coherent wave front's ingress
into the high frequency range through waveguides
and acoustical mirrors ushered in a second genera-
tion of line arrays.
Here a line source makes use of the near field's dif-
fusion. At a certain distance, the radiated cylindrical
wave front's near field transitions into a spherical
wave front. This transition from a cylindrical to a
spherical wave is contingent upon the length of the
radiator and the radiated frequency. The following
formula by Christian Heil serves to calculate the
distance at which this transition occurs:
H in meters, f in kHz
Mark Ureda, in turn, proposed a somewhat diffe-
rent formula for calculating the ratio between the
near and far fields:
l in meters, f in Hz
However, when these formulae are charted in a
graphical comparison, it is evident that their results
are quite similar.
Though in general it would appear that all aspects
of modern line arrays have been described ex-haus-
tively, practical applications reveal some deficiencies.
According to the aforementioned formulae, at a fre-
quency of 16 kHz the near field of a line array with
the length of 4 m extends out to 380 m!
Anyone who has heard a line array of comparable
size perform is sure to confirm that this great a
range cannot be attained in a real-world scenario.
The fact is that these values must be scaled down
substantially (see Fig. 1). Consequently, the afore-
mentioned formulae for a continuous line source
are more theoretical in nature.
Why these differences between theory and practice,
and why does a cylindrical wave transition into a
spherical wave front rather than diffuse infinitely?
The answer is quite simple in view of the molecular
structure of air. Air molecules offer frictional resis-
tance, impeding the sound wave's diffusion.
Some sound molecules drift outwards when the
wave's impact excites inert molecules at its fringes.
The cylindrical wave front's keen edges are smoothed
by degrees, gradually transforming the cylindrical
wave into a spherical wave front.
In mathematical terms, this can be described as
a sound vector pointing slightly outward at its
fringes. Because the velocity of propagation remains
constant, the cylindrical wave slowly tran-sition into
a spherical wave.
Technical literature describes the molecular frictional
resistance of air as atmospheric absorption of sound,
which increases exponentially as the frequency rises.
Accordingly, frictional resistance is greater at higher
frequencies, meaning that at higher frequencies,
the transition described occurs at a closer distance
(or smaller ratio).
Similar effects have been observed in analog tech-
nology where a square signal is smoothed by a
low-pass filter. It can be said that at some point
the signal regains a sine-like form.
Values that are possible in theory are again reduced
in practice because the line source is not in fact
continuous in the high frequency range; instead,
it is composed of individual segments. Even with
the most painstaking effort, it is impossible to prevent
interference with or drop-outs of the continuous line
source in practical applications because housings
and edge diffraction inevitably cause some interfe-
rence.
Furthermore, in theory this continuous line source
would always be linear! However, gaps are created
in the air when an array is curved, tearing the line
source apart and further reducing the range.
In order to preclude the phenomenon of gaps created
by curving, a line array would have to consist of very
many individual elements (N=>00), which unfortu-
nately is practically infeasible (see Fig. 2 a, 2 b).
An effort to take these deficiencies into account led
to a next generation line array, with the following
section examines.
Consequently, all the aforementioned formulae
concerning a continuous line source are purely
theoretical nature and must be qualified conside-
rably in practical applications.

transition in theory and practice

2 Development Objectives
2.1 High Frequency Range
The tweeter should radiate coherent waves through-
out its frequency range. In addition, the phase posi-
tion should be fine-tuned and tweaked to harmonize
with the midrange woofer to afford the highest
possible fidelity and natural response. In order to
ensure uniform dispersion of sound, the driver should
channel into a constant directivity horn that is
free of undesirable diffractive effects and does not
adulterate the sonic image.
2.2 Middle Frequency Range
Midrange frequencies should be projected in short,
dry bursts. Homogenous dynamic response approp-
riate to the tweeter is also desirable. Like the
tweeter's time-aligned frequencies, the midrange
woofer should be time-aligned for all frequencies
that it transmits. To fulfill a line array system's
handling potential, its mid/high unit should satisfy
the requirements of full-range voice applications.
2.3 Low Frequency Range
Low frequency energy should be dispersed into the
air faster and with the greatest possible dynamic
precision. A bass array with a large near field is
desirable. Subwoofers should be designed for versa-
tility, affording greatest flexibility in setup options.
3 Emphasized Radiation
Technology™
So how does one go about developing a next
generation line array? Emphasis is a familiar concept
in analog technology. What this means is that those
signal components that will later be dampened are
emphasized first. To apply this concept to wave
fronts, the fringes that are later smoothed must
be emphasized first. In this case, emphasis means
simply that the edge areas are projected earlier in
time, forming a slightly inward curving wave front
whose sound vectors face slightly inwards
(see Figure 3 a).
When applied to a continuous line source, this
creates a waveform as shown Fig. 3 b. Because
large line arrays typically consist of several identical
segments, a dedicated speaker would be required
for each segment. Apart from the fact that such a
continuous line source would be hard to implement,
practical applications also mandate great flexibility,
rendering such a concept in-feasible.
For these reasons, every element is curved slightly.
(Fig. 3 c). Due to the gaps between the elements,
which as stated above are inevitable anyway, both
ends of every element's wave fronts are reshaped in
the same way. A line source forms again at a certain
distance (Fig. 3.1). Emphasized Radiation technolo-
gy is thus able to sustain the even wave for a longer
period, thereby significantly extending the line
array's near field in the high frequency range!
To clarify the influence of the gap, the following ex-
amines the directivity of an ideal line array without
gaps and of a line array with evenly and unevenly
distributed gaps. Basically, it can be said that every
line source is always accompanied by undesirable
side lobes. Like interference, these side lobes are
clearly audible artifacts and therefore extremely un-
desirable. Unfortunately, they cannot be avoided al-
together, so it is important to minimize their level.
Figure 5 shows that an unevenly distributed gap
(pink) causes more irregular and more pronounced
side lobes. Without a gap (red) present, the array's
first side lobe occurs at a level of -13.58 dB. When
distributed across four elements of the same size
(blue) with the gap accounting for 18 percent of
the surface area, the level increases to -12.83 dB.
If these gaps are distributed unevenly, the level of
the first side lobe rises to -11.93 dB. This is nearly 1
dB higher than the level attained with the unevenly
distributed gap alone!
It is very important that the gap is distributed as
uniformly as possible across the full breadth of the
radiator. COHEDRA® achieves this by using two
different housing shapes for the mid/high array,
affording the greatest possible uniformity in gap
size for all typical configurations. This also ensures
minimum variation in gap size for the J array, a
configuration that today is used almost exclusively.

3.1 The High Frequency
Wave Front
A specially developed and patented acoustic lens
serves to curve the wave front. It transforms the
spherical wave emitted by the high frequency driver
into an inward curving wave front.
To shape a curved wave front, the sound wave's
inner components are re-channeled into a bisected,
centrically symmetrical array. In contrast to an axial
symmetrical array, a centrically symmetrical array
has the advantages of lower manufacturing tole-
rances. What's more the subdivided cavity enables
fewer standing waves, thereby reducing interference.
Typically, these constructions are relatively long
to minimize the differences between S1 and S2.
However, acoustically speaking this creates some-
thing approaching an organ pipe. The only remedy
is to connect a very large horn, an option that for
technical reasons is often infeasible. A covering
with a porous absorber is another possibility. Desi-
gned to reduce the velocity jump in sound particle
acceleration, this covering must be acoustically very
transparent.
To this end, COHEDRA® employs a special synthetic
fiber fleece with defined aerodynamic resistance.
This absorber reduces the velocity jump in sound
particle acceleration, thereby helping considerably
to homogenize frequency response. Figure 8 il-
lustrates the fleece's effect. The red curve shows
amplitude without fleece, the blue curve with
fleece. The two curves are depicted in staggered
formation only for the purpose of illustration.

3.2 Midrange
A frequently occurring and often cited drawback
of line arrays is their sensitivity to wind. A look at
the construction of conventional line arrays reveals
that many do without a CD horn. Therefore, the
HF pattern of throw is increasingly constricted. It
is not uncommon for a radiation angle of an HF
unit nominally rated for 120° to come to just 50° at 16
kHz. A light wind from the side audibly carries away
the HF signal. In the case of conventional speaker
clusters this is not so significant because several
HF units are arrayed horizontally and these pick
up the slack to provide HF sound reinforcement.
In a line array, however, it is always just one HF unit
that is arrayed horizontally to target a predetermined
audience area!
A special speaker cover is located in front of the two
8" midrange speakers. Designed to shape the horn
contour with CD characteristic in front of the acoustic
lens, it is free of undesirable diffractive effects and
does not adulterate the sonic image. It does not
constrict the HF range and ensures greater stability
in the face of gusts of wind.
The sound of the 8" speakers emanates through
slots on the top and bottom of this cover. This
enhances the dynamic balance in the range of 130
to 900 Hz.
In addition, the cover creates a compression chamber
that behaves like an acoustical filter, suppressing
frequencies that lie above the rendered frequency
range. Rather than being dissipated, the energy is
displaced to a lower frequency range, thereby sub-
stantially increasing efficiency in the rendered fre-
quency range! Because the speaker now acts against
a limited volume of air, distortion decreases so that
very high levels can be achieved with little distortion,
much like in a horn.
3.3 The Subwoofer-
Truest Dynamic Response
A great drawback of conventional woofers is the
considerable moving mass of the speaker (general-
ly, 18"). As a result, low frequency reproduction is
marred by dynamic distortion.
There is only way to satisfy the desire for the driest,
cleanest possible low end response; that is to achieve
the best possible impulse behavior. By definition,
this requires a smaller speaker membrane with less
moving mass. The answer is a special 10" woofer.
Compared below is a typical 18"+12"+2" combina-
tion and the COHEDRA® solution. Notably, the
speaker membrane's moving mass in the low and
middle frequency ranges is clearly reduced.
Superior impulse behavior is also evident in the 10"
speaker's transient response. In comparison with
an 18" woofer, the membrane of the 10" woofer is
able to move much faster because its transients are
shorter.
The blue curve shows the in theory ideal response
and the red curve indicates the 10" speaker's transient
response. The purple curve shows the transient re-
sponse of the 18" woofer. Measurements were taken
using a second order, 130Hz low-pass filter.
New filtering approaches were necessary to make
the most of the 10" woofer's capabilities, which is
why the housing also sports some special design
features. In combination with the bass reflex chan-
nel, the baffle boards form a horn, resulting in a
higher level in the low frequency range. The long,
lean chassis supports the formation of bass arrays
as well as ground coupling. In addition, extremely
compact clusters can be configured by setting en-
closures on end. Because the loudspeaker chassis is
tropic-proof, the enclosure can do without a level-
dampening front covering.

1.1 CDR 208 S and CDR 208 T
Mid/High Enclosures
Design and Construction of the Mid/High Enclosures
Two types of housings are available, the purpose of
the different design being to optimize the typical "J"
form of mid/high arrays. The CDR 208 S is housed
in a straight rather than slanted cabinet. The CDR
208 T (T is short of trapezoidal) enclosure's top
and bottom are slanted at 4.5° angles, a design that
enables the configuration of sharply curving down-fills.
CDR 208 S and CDR 208 T enclosures are made of
19 mm, 13-ply birch plywood and coated with water-
repellent, black acrylic enamel. The baffle board
cover consists of a metal grille that also serves as
a compression chamber and a horn channel for
the 1.4" driver.
The CDR 208 S and CDR 208 T weigh 30 kg.
They are 65 cm wide, 25.5 and 24 cm high, respectively,
and 60 cm deep (including rigging attachments).
Two slot grips have been routed into the side panels
for easy transport and set-up.
Serving to fly the enclosures are fully integrated
rigging attachments comprising four quick-release
pins and three rigging connectors, two mounted on
the sides and one in the rear.
Electrical and Acoustical Data
CDR 208 S (T) enclosures feature two horn-loaded
8" cone chassis speakers and a 1.4" B&C high fre-
quency driver with a front-mounted acoustic lens in
a CD horn configuration. Aligned in a tri-axial array,
the drivers are addressed via an internal passive
crossover with a separating frequency of 800 hertz.
CDR 208 S (T) enclosures' nominal electrical
power-handling capacity is 500 watts RMS at 8 ohms
impedance. They produce a sound pressure level of
108 dB (1W@1m), measured under half-space con-
ditions. Maximum SPL measured under the same
conditions at a distance of one meter is 139 dB
at 10% THD.
The CDR 208 S (T) enclosures' horizontal dispersion
pattern is 80°. Frequency response ranges from
88 Hz to 16 kHz (±3 dB). The CDR 208 S (T) enclo-
sures are thus able to provide sound reinforcement
public address applications calling speech only
without requiring a subwoofer.
Connections
The connector panel on the rear of CDR 208 S (T)
enclosures is recessed to protect the ports from

of curving the array, your choices of angles (or splay)
are 0°, 1.5°, 3°, 4.5°, 6°, 7.5° and 9°. The baffle board
cover consists of a metal grille; located behind it is
a compression chamber for the 8" speaker and a
CD horn equipped with an acoustical lens for the
two 1" drivers.
The CDR 108 C weighs 17.9 kg. It is 50 cm wide, 26 cm
high and 32.5 cm deep (including rigging attachments).
Two grips on the side panels facilitate transport and
set-up.
Serving to fly the mid/high units are fully integrated
rigging attachments comprising four quick-release
pins and three rigging connectors, two mounted on
the sides and one in the rear.
Electrical and Acoustical Data
The CDR 108 C enclosure is loaded with an 8" cone
chassis speaker and two 1" B&C high frequency drivers
with a front-mounted acoustical lens in a CD horn
configuration. The drivers are addressed via an
internal passive crossover with a separating frequency
of 800 hertz.
The CDR 108 C enclosure’s nominal electrical po-
wer-handling capacity is 250 watts RMS at 16 ohms
impedance. It produces a sound pressure level
of 107 dB (1W@1m), measured under half-space
conditions. Maximum SPL measured under the
same conditions at a distance of one meter is
136 dB at 10% THD.
The CDR 108 radiates at a horizontal angle of 100°.
Frequency response ranges from 88 Hz to 19 kHz
(±3 dB). The enclosure is thus able to provide
speech reinforcement for public address applicati-
ons without requiring a subwoofer.
Connections
The connector panel on the rear of the CDR 108 C
is recessed to protect the ports from harm. On this
enclosure, you’ll find two Speakon® NL 4 connec-
tors. Both ports’ four pins are wired in parallel.
Pin assignments are: pin 1+ = mid/high +,
1- = mid/high -, 2+ = sub +, 2- = sub 2-.
