Quote from Introduction:“It would, therefore, be desirable to have a broadband directionalto have a broadband directional transducer whose beam pattern is essentially independent of frequency over its bandwidth. With such a “constant beamwidth transducer” (CBT) the spectral content of the acoustic signal would be independent of bearing ”would be independent of bearing.

• Kay comment: “Coverage is quite uniform over most of the seating area y g q gand we have had overwhelming positive responses about the sound quality. I am amazed at how quickly the level drops as you pass by the ‐6dB point and this required us to carefully tweak the aiming of the arrays to keep from missing seats in the front of the church.”

d hComments Concerning Listening Outside the Room
• Keele comments: “I was quite interested in your phone comment that when you step out the door of the church and hear the PA bleed through, the sound is well balanced and natural sounding and not like the typical sound system that sounds very muffled, bass heavy, and unintelligible. I attribute this completely to the constant directivity/beamwidth characteristics of the CBT array that energize the room with a flat sound power spectrum. It’s this characteristic of the CBT arrays that allows them to sound good even when listening behind a physical barrier that blocks the direct sound (see comment 3 in the next‐to‐the‐last e‐mail in this chain).
• Kay comments: “Having worked with Siegfried Linkwitz on dipoles, the out of the room test is one I always check and I was happy to find that the balance was amazingly good. I think this approach to directivity control, that Don has describe so well in his papers, will help athis approach to directivity control, that Don has describe so well in his papers, will help a lot of problematic acoustic situations. Hopefully, we will see it become available in a commercial offering available to all.”

Use of Ground‐Plane CBT Line Arrays for Sound Reinforcement: ContReinforcement: Cont.
• Wide‐angle broad‐band ground‐plane CBT line arrays offer a very viable, high performance, simple, and thrifty alternative to the usual reinforcement setup, particularly when the main speakers can’t be hung overhead. The usual arrangement consists of a pair of directional ground‐mounted main systems located on either side of the stage coupled with stage monitors on the stage as outlined in the previous descriptioneither side of the stage coupled with stage monitors on the stage as outlined in the previous description.
• A single or double set of ground‐plane CBT arrays located on stage behind the performers can substitute for both mains and stage monitors. Thus located, the CBT array offers a number of very strong advantages:
1. Exceptionally Even Coverage:The inherent broad‐band constant bandwidth/directivity design of the CBT arrays provides extremely even coverage at all locations: right‐left, up‐down, and near‐far. This includes points on and near the floor, points above the array, and points in the extreme nearfield only inches from the front surface of the array. Because the array is specifically designed to operate over a reflective ground plane, it does not suffer from destructive floor reflections that cause comb filtering effects.reflective ground plane, it does not suffer from destructive floor reflections that cause comb filtering effects.
2. Flat Energy Response: The system’s broad‐band constant directivity means that its radiated power is unvarying with frequency. With constant radiated power the system sounds equally well balanced in the direct field or in the reverberant field, and even b hi d b i h bl k h di dbehind obstructions that block the direct sound.
3. Less Front‐Back Variation in Sound Level:The CBT array’s sound level falls only 3 dB for each doubling of distance for a significant distance in front of the array. This means that a CBT array can supply much higher levels in the back of venue for the same levels in front as compared to a typical sound reinforcement two‐way woofer‐horn speaker system. This also means that if a CBT array is set up to supply the same levels in the rear of the audience as a typical reinforcement speaker, the levels in the front of the audience area and on stage will be significantly lower. (See the following graphs.)

4. Improved Articulation and Intelligibility at all Listening Points:This is a direct result of the constant beamwidth/directivity and the absence of polar lobes of the CBT array. Destructive sidewall reflections are minimized because the room’s side walls are illuminated with flat sound energy.
5. No Stage Monitors:With the CBT arrays mounted behind the performers, the performers hear the same sound that the audience hears. Practically, this works only because a CBT line array’s sound level on stage is much lower than typical sound reinforcement speakers for the same level in the audience area.
6. No Interference with Audience Sight Lines:This is a direct result of the capability of CBT arrays to operate behind the performers. Large and bulky systems mounted to the right and left of stage front are not required!
7. Less Prone to Feedback Problems and More Performer Freedom to Move Around on the Stage:This is a another direct result of the constant beamwidth/directivity and the absence of frequency‐dependent polar lobes of the CBT array. With these characteristics, the feedback threshold is essentially independent of position which means that once the howl‐back level is set at a particular location, the system will not be prone to go into feedback at other locations.

8. No Voicing or On‐Site Equalization Adjustments Required:Voicing and equalization is only a requirement for speaker systems that are not constant directivity and beamwidth and that may exhibit frequency‐dependent lobes. The CBT crossover and equalization is set at design time and requires essentially no adjustments in the field. The only choices that must be made in the field are the CBT’s coverage angle (directly dependentadjustments in the field. The only choices that must be made in the field are the CBT s coverage angle (directly dependent on the CBT’s arc angle: Beamwidth = 0.75 x ArcAngle) and its aiming.
9. A Much Simpler System:a. Fewer speakersb Fb. Fewer power ampsc. Fewer processing channelsd. Minimal on‐site voicing, equalization, and adjustment.This is a direct result of the elimination of the stage monitors and the simpler curved‐arc CBT design that requires no DSP processing. The constant directivity/beamwidth nature of the CBT array minimizes the need for on‐sight EQ and adjustment. Set it up and forget it!

SPL vs. DistanceSPL vs. Distance• The following two graphs show the simulated sound pressure level versus distance comparing a point
source to a 3m‐high 20‐deg‐arc ground‐plane CBT line array providing a 15 deg above‐ground beamwidth.source to a 3m high 20 deg arc ground plane CBT line array providing a 15 deg above ground beamwidth. This CBT array would be an appropriate design for the previously mentioned band application The point source rolls of at 6 dB per doubling of distance for all distances. However, the CBT array rolls at only half this rate at 3 dB per doubling of distance over a significant range of about 1 ft to 100 ft in front of the array. However, at distances beyond 100 ft, this CBT line array also rolls of at 6 dB per doubling of distance. I ll d i i h li h di ll ff f CBT li i i llIn contrast to an equally‐driven straight‐line array, the distance rolloff of a CBT line array is essentially independent of frequency.
• The gradual 3 dB per doubling of distance rolloff of the CBT array is a great advantage in many sound reinforcement situations It means that the CBT array’s roll off with distance is much less rapid than thereinforcement situations. It means that the CBT array s roll off with distance is much less rapid than the roll off of a typical two‐way reinforcement system composed of a 15” woofer with HF horn. When the typical two‐way system is turned up loud enough to provide adequate level to the rear of the audience area, it is very loud at listening points near the front of the audience area and particularly loud directly in front of the speaker. The CBT array does not suffer from these problems.
• The advantages of the gradual 3 dB roll off of the CBT array are illustrated in the following two graphs. The first graph illustrates that for equal sound levels up front, the CBT array can provide much higher levels in the rear of the audience, sometimes as much as 20 dB! Alternately, the second graph shows that for the
l d i h f h di h C b i ifi l l l d fsame loudness in the rear of the audience area, the CBT array can be significantly less loud up front, sometimes as much as 20 dB.
