When does a Cardioid setup make sense?
While medium and high frequencies can be radiated in directional patterns,
low frequencies are spherical. This often leads to an unpleasant excess of
low bass on and behind the stage. Organisers are also increasingly setting
precise demands for sound distribution, for example in marquees in city
centres. The most effective way to achieve this in the bass range is with
Cardioid technology (cancelling out the frequencies radiated to the rear).
Both LINEAR 5 subwoofers therefore meet all the requirements for
MK II
quickly and easily implementing effective Cardioid setups, both mechanical-
ly and with the available filter sets.
