Thanks to digitally controlled beam steering they deliver narrow vertical beams of sonic energy that can be directed onto the audience
instead of reverberating off the walls and ceilings. Horizontal coverage is a consistent 150o eliminating the need for left and right setups in

of origination for the narrow acoustic beam, is several feet above

desirable in reverberant rooms where tight control of the beam is
needed to deliver clear speech over a considerable distance.
When only speech is involved and the bass support provided by
the subwoofers is not needed, single or stacked ICL-R arrays
are an ideal solution. They can be attached to the truss work with
Chesebrough clamps or by removing the array’s rear pole/handle
and using the pole clamps to secure the array to the truss.

modules are together.
3. Align the two modules and then remove the Quik-Release pin from
the upper module’s rear cylinder to allow its inner sleeve to drop
down into the lower module’s rear cylinder.

orientation.
Do not attempt to mount a stacked ICL-R array onto a subwoofer standing vertically. The resulting assembly is unstable.

The next step is to electrically link the modules together and verify
connections should be made to the Master module.
Plug one end of the short CAT5 linking cable into the lower intercon-
upper socket on the upper module. Then plug one end of the short
AC power cable into the looping power socket on the lower module
and the other end into the power socket on the upper module. Follow
the same procedure to connect a third module, if one is provided.

Wiring Diagrams For Basic Setups
IC Live arrays were developed for a wide range of different size and types of venues, including even large multi-array events. They include
remotely located computer and multi-channel digital audio distribution.
When remote computer supervision and control is not needed, IC Live arrays can be treated just like any other self-powered loudspeaker.
