Electro-V oice EVF/ EVH User Manual 14 3.5 Multiple-Source Interference in Clusters W henever two or more sources serve a single venue, some seats will receive strong signals from multiple sources.

Electro-V oice EVF/ EVH User Manual 16 At higher frequencies, the interference patterns become more densely packed, whic h essentially elimi- nates their audibility . Figure 7 shows this effect at 8,000 Hz. 3.51 Reducing Multiple-Source Interference Multiple-source interference cannot be eliminated but it can be subst antially reduced. Systems whic[...]

Electro-V oice EVF/ EVH User Manual 17 One clustering technique that accomplishes this separation without putting a physical space between two full-range systems is putting a low-frequency or subwoofer system between two full-range systems. Suc h a cluster is shown in Figure 9, assembled with the optional H R K rigging kits. Figure 9: A way of sepa[...]

Electro-V oice EVF/ EVH User Manual 18 Finally , another way to reduce interference is to apply signal delay of up to 8 milliseconds to one of the two systems. This requires a separate DS P (digital signal processor) drive to the delayed system. Figure 1 0 shows the dramatic smoothing achieved at 1,250 Hz. Note that the systems are still close toge[...]
