With the DSP presets provided the frequency
response of one single cabinet is flat.
Graph shown corresponds to 1 aero 50 measured
at 3m in an indoor room (1/12 octave resolution):
When coupling or adding more systems the low
and mid ranges couple much more than the high
frequency one. See the the graph below ( 1 aero 50
vs 3 aero 50):
The use of a DSP-4080 at FOH is mandatory to
correct this effect (low an mid range coupling) and
to have different sends to the PA (long throw, mid
throw, short throw) or to other systems (Ffill, subs
etc) as well as to properly time align all of them.
In the graph shown below different array
corrections for different number of aero 50 cabinets
(1/24 octave resolution).

Type B presets: to be used at the FOH DSP-4080
The preset will correct the array effect and the number of
cabinets used.
These presets will be named as follows:
A50Vx.y 8U
A50Vx.y 10U
A50Vx.y 12U
For instance: A50V52 16U
