What Are Line Array Speakers?
Line array speakers are a type of loudspeaker system designed for large venues and outdoor events where wide dispersion and high output levels are crucial. Unlike traditional point-source speakers that emit sound in all directions, line arrays are configured in a vertical line or array, with multiple speaker elements (usually identical) stacked on top of each other. This configuration allows sound waves to combine and project farther and more evenly than conventional speakers.
How Do Line Array Speakers Work?
Line array speakers operate on the principle of constructive interference, where multiple sound sources (the individual speakers) combine to produce a coherent wavefront. This design results in a louder and clearer sound, even over long distances. The vertical arrangement of speakers allows for controlled vertical dispersion, directing sound toward the audience and minimizing reflections from the ceiling and floor. Additionally, the horizontal dispersion is wide, ensuring that the entire audience receives consistent audio.
What Are the Advantages of Line Array Speakers?
Superior Sound Coverage:
Line array systems provide consistent sound levels from the front to the back of the listening area. By adjusting the physical angle and amplitude of individual modules, a higher sound level can be projected toward the back of the room than toward the front, resulting in more consistent coverage throughout the space.
Vertical Pattern Control:
The taller the line array, the better the control of the vertical coverage of the low frequencies emitted from it. This is important, as it reduces how much sound is sent toward the ceiling, which can cause unwanted reflections back into the listening areas.
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Capability:
Some line array systems have a large number of drivers inside each cabinet of the array, allowing a single coherent wave front to be produced.
What Are the Disadvantages of Line Array Speakers?
Size and Weight:
One of the main drawbacks of line array systems is their size. They are usually large and require substantial space for installation and storage. This characteristic can be a limiting factor for smaller venues or events where space is at a premium.
High-Frequency Dispersion:
While the ability to adjust angles is an advantage, it can also lead to high-frequency energy dispersion. When you set the speakers to a wider angle, they may cause the high-frequency sound to spread out too much. This can lead to a decrease in clarity and intensity. You can manage this issue, but it requires careful planning and setup.
How Do Line Array Speakers Compare to Regular Speakers?
Line array systems have many good points. These speakers send sound to certain spots. This helps everyone hear in a big place. The sound goes straight up and down, but spreads wide side to side. This design keeps the sound level the same for everyone. People in front and back hear the same loudness. You can tell the sound is different from regular speakers. Line array speakers make a cylinder-shaped wave. The sound does not get weak fast as it travels. You also get less noise mixing, so the sound stays clear.
What Are the Applications of Line Array Speakers?
Line array systems are ideal for modern PA systems. You can easily adjust and add onto them. Additionally, they help direct low-frequency sound. However, their size and potential for high-frequency dispersion are factors to consider. To use line array speakers effectively, learn these aspects. This will help improve your audio setup. As a result, your audience will have a better listening experience.

Shipping
Can you accept cash on delivery?
It's suggested that you adopt Trade Assurance. We have joined Trade Assurance Service to protect your order so as to ensure that we deliver on time and provide quality products as required. All I need to do is draft a Trade Assurance Order on Alibaba and then send the order link to you, by which you can confirm the order and make the payment via T/T, credit card, or e-checking into the account of Citibank designated by Alibaba.
In short, you only need to confirm the order and make the payment, while I will be responsible for subsequent matters such as production, delivery, customs clearance, and logistics. At the same time, if you can also contact our local agent for payment, this may make you more comfortable.
The shipping cost is high, can I have a cheaper way?
Yes, shipping by sea will be economical, and it will take X days.
Customization
When the delivery time reported to the customer has arrived, the factory has not finished, how to reply when customer is asking?
1. First of all, express a sincere apology to the customer and appease the customer's current mood.
I can understand that you are feeling the same as I was before, but good things have to wait. Inform them that this is our best-selling product, and the factory production volume is very high. Big workers work overtime at 12 o'clock every day.
2. Ask the factory about the latest production status and when it is expected to be completed.
3. Tell customers that we are very strict about product quality and will do tests before leaving the factory. You can get it in the future as the best product, then send some factory video pictures appropriately.
What color options do you offer?
We support customized services. Customers in your country tend to prefer black-line array systems. Of course, we can also make them black, white, or red. We just hope you can buy a product you are satisfied with.
Products
When the customer is in a hurry, and then ask for a fine over time, how do you respond to a few hundred dollars a day?
Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your order.But I'm very sorry to tell you that we can't meet your target shipment as it is really urgent (only 5 days) As you know, it's peak season now, so the production times of all factories are a bit long. That's why I ask you to confirm the order ASAP. We will try our best to get the goods ASAP (about 15 days), but we can't accept that a one-day delay will require paying US$500. I believe that nobody can accept this point either, and I'm sure I have offered you a fast delivery date. Thanks for your understanding and support.
