1 INTRODUCTION
Any event, be it from the smallest childrens party to a large scale festival requires
detailed and accurate planning. Factors such as safety, logistical management,
communications, in conjunction with the physical design of the system itself must be
considered to ensure its effectiveness and compatibility with intentions.
The following report offers a detailed proposal for the design of an audio
reinforcement system relating to a corporate gala dinner, to be held at the Crown
Palladium in Melbourne. The report justifies and argues for all aspects relating to
the design and function of the intended system and where possible offers visual
insight into how the system will function in both micro and macro levels.
1.1 Location
The Palladium Room at Crown is a large space, approximating 41m x 50m, with
a ceiling height of 6.8m (Crown Melbourne Ltd 2006). This relatively low strung
ceiling will factor into how the system is designed. There are many available
rigging points.
1.2 Desired intentions (scope)
The event is corporate in nature, and therefore will require a system tailored
which adheres to budgetary restrictions, whilst maintaining an excellent
exploitation of room acoustics, available power sources and rigging locations. It
is therefore intended that the system must accommodate in such a matter that it:
a. Ensures well balanced sound reinforcement factor with respect to particular
locations within the space
b. Does not visually deter from the presentations or the event itself
c. Does not hamper the movements of patronage
d. Is safe for all persons in its vicinity
e. Facilitates enjoyment for listening purposes from all areas of the room
f. Is able to be constructed/disassembled in a reasonable amount of time
g. Is easily troubleshot
h. Does not interfere with lighting crew, their equipment and operations
i. Contains built in contingency measures in the event of potential system
failures
j. Does not exceed the clients capped budget submitted by the client
Assessment 1 [AUD 407] Page 2 of 18

May 2012 Jake Taylor 202901
The above intentions are key factors for the design that follows in this document,
and in many cases, similar points are reaffirmed in each section. It is paramount
that the reader understands this point.

2 SYSTEM DESIGN
Appendices offer insight into the system design; these are referred to throughout. In
summary, the system that has been designed is fitting to the overall application
required by the client. Specifically, it has addressed all concerns relating to both
requirements of the performers and the client.
2.1 Front of house
The front of house (FOH) system has been designed such as to provide even
frequency dispersion across the space.
2.1.1 Console
To accommodate the control of all channels from stage and other sources,
the system designer has chosen the Yamaha M7CL digital console as it:
a. Is comparatively cheap to hire (Deluxe Audio 2012)
b. Contains ample routing control
c. Can be networked
d. Provides 8 DCA
1
groups (Yamaha Pro Audio 2005, pp.113-15) as
requested by the band rider
e. Provides a dedicated talkback (TTS) function (Yamaha Pro Audio 2005,
pp.149-50)
f. Is capable of commanding the 12 channels of compression requested by
the band rider (Yamaha Pro Audio 2005, pp.9, 226)
2.1.1.1 Location
The location of the FOH engineer is pinnacle to ensuring the he or she
is fully equipped to accurately balance the FOH system, aurally. For
this reason, the system designer suggests that the console be placed
no greater than 25 m from stage. This is in line with
recommendations suggested by Davis & Jones (1990, p.190) who
assert as a general rule of thumb:
[Paraphrased] If D = the distance between the left
and right arrays, the console should be placed no
greater than 2D from the arrays, and preferably

1
DCA is synonymous with VCA as the desk is digitally controlled
Assessment 1 [AUD 407] Page 4 of 18

May 2012 Jake Taylor 202901
placed off centre to reduce phase cancellations (comb
filtering) emanating from the sum of both arrays.
2.1.2 Line array design
A line array FOH system has been chosen as it shall:
a. Cover the desired area with efficiency and effectiveness
b. Be able to be flown at a height that does not visually deter proceedings
c. Be relatively simple to construct/configure off site prior to event
proceedings
d. Adhere to the request made by the band rider
2.1.2.1 Loudspeakers
Two clusters of 3 Nexo GEO 1210 + 1 GEO 1230 (4x 16 boxes in
total equalling a net impedance of 4 )
2
, shall be rigged either side of
stage supplanting the existing system. The boxes have been chosen
3

as they offer excellent angle customisation and control, and are easily
flown from available rigging locations at front of stage.
In summary, the arrays aim to ensure even dispersion across the
majority of the space, with greater SPL exhibited in the dance floor
region. Like any small scale array, attenuation with an increase of
distance is unavoidable, and in this instance not considered
detrimental to the design. The lowest driver in each array (also
applies to the centre-fill cluster) is a GEO 1230, configured to disperse
at 120 in the horizontal plane all remaining drivers above this are
configured to disperse at 80, and are GEO 1210 as recommended by
Nexo (Nexo 2010, p.31).
Each group shall be connected in parallel in a bi-amp (active)
configuration.

2
See APPENDIX H1 for specifications for the GEO S12 series
3
It should be noted that Norwest or Deluxe Audio do not, supply the GEO series in their inventory.
The reason for this discrepancy is due to the fact that the system designer has devised the system
using Nexos NS-1 modelling software, as it is more indicative of the intentions of the event.
Assessment 1 [AUD 407] Page 5 of 18

2.1.3 Amplification
Specifically, the amplification required for these arrays calls for two power
amplifiers (Crown T-I6000), which are wired individually according to the
crossover point
4
of the boxes (active setup).
Each amplifier will therefore be operating more effectively and in turn more
reliably as it is dealing only with a specific frequency band.
The Crown T-I series
5
has been chosen as they are:
a. Highly efficient Class I operational amplifiers
b. Can be networked (Crown International 2007, p.30)
c. Contain built in failsafe and overload countermeasures
Below is matching information for the FOH main array system.

2.1.4 Centre-fill cluster
A truncated version of the main FOH system shall be utilised for centre-fill
purposes. This is to again, ensure even dispersion, filling the central zone of
avoidance across the dance floor in the horizontal plane.
The cluster shall be configured actively, but will use a single T-I6000
amplifier to drive both LF and HF on each channel. The advantage of using

Crossover point for the GEO S12 series is 1.1kHz (Nexo 2010, p.88)

a separate amplifier to control the centre cluster is designed to be a
contingency should the main array system fail.




2.1.5 Subs
Flown behind each main array will be a single Nexo CD12 boxes
6
(2 in
total). These are a hyper-cardioid subwoofer, which is beneficial in that LF
energy is projected towards the audience and not towards onstage
microphones reducing spill and potential for feedback to occur.

2.1.5.1 Hypercardioid delay
The CD12 sub cabinets do not have internal DSP processing for delay
purposes (Nexo 2010, p.32); this means that two channels of the
system processor must be dedicated for subwoofer purposes.
2.1.6 Safety of the system
The NS-1 software has deemed the geometrical aspects of each line array
design to be safe. The total weight per side approximates to 180 kgs,
meaning it is below the allocated point load (200 kgs) for the designated
lighting beams; with added rigging winches the system is still under the
point load. The centre-cluster is well below the load limit.

2.1.7 FOH dispersion
In light of the above design, the following image shows that equal coverage
has been achieved for the majority of the space. As preferred, the frontal
dance floor is exposed to a higher SPL environment. This means the
selection of loudspeakers will (according to prediction) function properly.

2.1.8 Signal distribution (managing HF and LF after
amplification)
To appropriately distribute the NL4 connections between loudspeakers and
amplifiers, two options may be considered:
a. Manual wiring; whereby the production team pre-wire the system
according to the specifications and I/O from the system processor
b. Use a rack mount signal distribution unit; which uses NL2 sockets fed
from the amplifiers, to combine them internally using groups, so that
an NL4 output connection may be sent to boxes that utilise standard
1+/1 (LF) and 2+/2 (HF) wiring in active mode.
The second option has been chosen as it will allow for less cabling, and
simpler maintenance and setup.
2.1.9 Delay
Due to the positioning of the main arrays with respect to the subwoofer
boxes that are situated behind them, a simple delay system must be used.
The approximate distance between the faces is 1m, which means that a 3ms
7

delay will be required to minimise phase cancellations. This shall be
achieved using the system processor.
2.2 System processor
A simple crossover system has been employed in conjunction with the
aforementioned amplification methodology. It calls for a single Nexo NX242
8
rack
unit, which exhibits 2 inputs and 4 outputs (Nexo 2004, p.34). The following
table depicts the basic output setup which may be called up as a preset:
NX242 Output
CH 1 Ch 2 CH3 CH 4
Sub rear Sub front LF HF
The processor itself has been chosen for use due to its compatibility with Nexo
loudspeakers.

2.3 Monitor system
2.3.1 Console
To accommodate for the stage monitor mix, a Midas Verona 480 has been
chosen as it:
a. Is comparatively cheap to hire (Norwest Productions 2009, p.6)
b. Has 8 auxiliary sends for monitor mixes (Midas 2004, pp.21-24)
c. Has extra outputs, which also shall be used to fill the extra monitor
mixes that are required
d. Is a desk that facilitates ease of use relating for monitoring purposes
2.3.2 Monitor loudspeakers
A total of 10 wedges have been allocated for monitor purposes; they shall be
EAW SM200ih

in a passive
10
configuration.
2.3.2.1 Amplification
A total of 6 QSC PLX1602
11
2 channel amplifiers (12 channels total)
have been allocated for monitor purposes; each channel of
amplification shall be dedicated to a particular wedge. Logistically
each amplifier shall drive wedges which are common to one another
physically to reduce cable run length.

A single IEM monitor unit will provide a stereo mix for the drummer as per
request. Its signal shall be fed from the monitor console.

S
See APPENDIX H5 for specifications for the SM200ih

Due to budgetary constraint, these boxes will be wired in a passive configuration; a bi-amp
configuration would require twice as many amps in addition to extra system processors.

2.4 Microphones
A full listing of microphones is given in APPENDIX A. Each microphone has
been chosen specifically for the purpose of the instrument it is intended to
capture. For example, Audix D6 (large diaphragm dynamic) on kick drum, floor
tom and bass cabinet. As requested, only quality brands have been selected.
2.5 DIs
As there are 11 line inputs required by the performers, the system designer has
allocated 2 6 channel rack mount DIs to simplify signal flow.

3 SIGNAL FLOW AND POWER DISTRIBUTION
This section aims to provide and illustrative concept of the intended system design.
Where possible, the system designer shall provide insight into areas of relevance
pertaining to each sub-section via text. Below is a complete map of the system,
showing both network and audio systems.

It clearly designates the signal paths, and further shows the function of each sub-
system.
Assessment 1 [AUD 407] Page 12 of 18

3.2 EtherSound system
Communication returns between FOH and stage will be sent via an EtherSound
system. This has been chosen to negate multicore runs (only CAT5 cable will be
required). The M7CL is fully compatible with this function.
The main stage splitter will provide signal to both the monitor console and 3
Yamaha SB168 ES (16/8) stage boxes this means there will be 48 inputs and 16
returns (only 8 the returns will be required for FOH, TTS and effects). The
system will function in a ring mode configuration which ensures continuous
operation regardless if one device in the network fails (Yamaha Pro Audio 2008,
p.9).
3.3 Network management
For control and analysis purposes, the FOH amplifiers and main console shall be
connected to a control surface (laptop) to adequate monitoring and control
measures can be visualised with ease. One primary purpose for this is monitoring
the FOH amplifiers to ensure their function is unimpeded and are operating
within normal operational levels.
3.4 Power management
APPENDIX C offers insight into the proposed power management plan. It is
important to ensure that power is correctly allocated to devices and that this
power is not exceeding the limitations of the equipment channelling it. For this
reason all equipment specifications have been assessed to ensure that 12 x 10A
sockets are adequate to power the event not one unit shall draw more than 10A
according to all specifications which have been assessed.
Three phase power sources shall be required for the majority of powered devices,
including but not limited to power amplifiers and power distribution centres. The
Crown Palladium Room offers ample three phase power sources, notably, 40A
outlets in the ceiling, perimeter walls and stage (Crown Melbourne 2011, p.3).
The majority of equipment shall be powered from stage using a single 40A 3
outlet.
Note: The coms system and FOH desk are intended to receive power from one of
the adjacent GPO units at the sides of the room. This is to reduce long cable
runs of power cable back to stage the only cable that should connect the FOH
Assessment 1 [AUD 407] Page 13 of 18

May 2012 Jake Taylor 202901
console to stage is 3 Ethernet cables: 2 for signal flow, one for network linkage
with amplifiers.
3.5 Wiring considerations
All equipment must be electrically grounded to reduce signal hum.
This shall be achieved by using appropriate chassis and signal
earthing methods the minimise ground loops between equipment
connected to the same source circuitry.
All wiring carrying different signal paths shall be placed perpendicular
to one another to minimise crosstalk.
Power and speaker cable excess shall be neatly coiled in a figure 8
loop to reduce electromagnetic induction heating (fire hazard).
Crew who are unclear as to correct wiring methods should refer to
APPENDIX D
3.5.1 Cable attenuation factor
Cable length and spec will factor into the decision making process with
regards to attenuation over distance due to resistive load emplaced by the
cable itself. The maximum acceptable length of a speaker cable is directly
proportional to the product of its area and the load impedance.
Subsequently, in order to run from the intended amplifier position to the
farthest line array (approximately 30 m) a wire gauge of 3.5mm is
required
12
. This will be assured before collection of goods from the
distributor(s).

4 FINANCIAL
The following section provides a cost analysis for the client, including a tabulated
financial assessment and source distributor information.
4.1 Sources of equipment
To lower the overall cost of equipment hire, the engineer has sought pricing from
a two providers. This has been does so as to capitalise on the likely throw-ins
and reduced rates when hiring in bulk from a distributors. The companies being
used are Norwest Productions and Deluxe Audio who are both considered to be
reputable companies. During the financial assessment, cables and minor sundries
have been omitted from calculations. Both of these distributors are located in
close proximity to Crown, thereby minimising travel times. There is also the
benefit of being close should any piece of equipment fail.
In addition, some products which have been specified by the system designer are
not available from either distributor and in this instance either a market value
price/10 = hire rate; or a price from another non-local distributor has been
derived.
APPENDIX E is a complete breakdown of the budget, however below is a
snapshot summarisation of the event costings in major categories.
FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT
Unit Sub total
Crew $4,810
Equipment $5,509
Transport $250
Grand Total $10,569

5 LOGISTICAL MANAGEMENT
The logistics of the event relate to fluid movement and communications between
staff, performers and crew. The following section details how this notion will be
employed and the measures used to maintain it.
5.1 Conduct
To ensure that the schedule is strictly adhered to, all event staff must work
proficiently; this is not in precedence to safety however. All staff and crew must
report to the production manager in light of failures (equipment) and safety
concerns. All matters relating to relations with Crown staff should be directed
towards the production manager.
5.2 Stage plot
A stage plot has been devised as a guide for instrument and monitor placement.
All requests made within the band rider have been met in relation to performer
preferred locations. This plot should be adhered to avoid confusion and improve
efficiency during bump-in and stage setup.
APPENDIX F stage plot
5.3 Communications
Communications between departments is crucial to eveny efficiency. The system
designer has designated a dual channel coms system to facilitate communication
between departments. Below is the intended communications map.
Assessment 1 [AUD 407] Page 16 of 18

May 2012 Jake Taylor 202901

Figure 4. Coms map
5.4 Occupational health and safety (OH&S)
OH&S procedures shall be executed with the highest priority. To permit this, job
safety assessments (JSA) and safe work method statements (SWMS) will be
provided to Crown operations, the client, and staff working on the event two
weeks prior to event proceedings (Crown Melbourne 2011, p.3). APPENDIX G
shows the JSA for the event. SWMS are expected to be compiled by the rigger
and submitted for approval prior to submission to Crown for assessment.
It is paramount that all crew and staff garner a well-equipped understanding for
safety at the event for two primary reasons:
1. It will facilitate a higher level of efficiency between departments
2. It will ensure the absolute safety for staff and public
The simplest way this may be achieved is if staff and crew have read and understood
the JSA and SWMS.

Chapter 1: Crown Ampliers In-Depth 7
Amplier Application Guide
1.2 System Wiring
The information in this section covers making input and output wiring connec-
tions, as well as troubleshooting problems relating to system wiring.
1.2.1 Input Wiring
Input Connector Wiring
Refer to the following diagrams for input cable wiring for commonly-used con-
nector types.
Note: These diagrams follow the AES wiring convention of Pin 2 = hot for XLR
connectors.
Note: If two or more channels with the same
input ground reference are driven from the
same oating source, connect only one shield
to the source chassis
Balanced, Grounded Source
For use with components equipped with three-wire
grounded AC line cord or other ground connection.

Chapter 1: Crown Ampliers In-Depth 9
Amplier Application Guide
1.2.2 Solving Input
Problems
Infrasonic (Subaudible)
Frequencies
Sometimes large infrasonic (sub-
audible) frequencies are present in
the input signal. These can damage
loudspeakers by overloading or
overheating them. To attenuate such
frequencies, place a capacitor in
series with the input signal line. The
graph in Figure 1.3 shows some
capacitor values and how they affect
the frequency response. Use only
low-leakage paper, mylar or tantalum
capacitors.
Radio Frequencies (RF)
Another problem to avoid is the
presence of large levels of radio
frequencies or RF in the input signal.
Although high RF levels may not
pose a threat to the amplier, they
can burn out tweeters or other loads
that are sensitive to high frequen-
cies. Extremely high RF levels can
also cause your amplier to prema-
turely activate its protection circuitry,
resulting in inefcient operation. RF
can be introduced into the signal
chain from many sources such as
local radio stations, tape recorder bias and digital signal processors (DSP). To prevent high
levels of input RF, install an appropriate low-pass lter in series with the input signal.
Some examples of unbalanced wiring for low-pass lters are shown in Figure 1.4.
For balanced input wiring use one of the examples in Figure 1.5. Filters A, B and C correspond
to the unbalanced lters above. Filter D also incorporates the infrasonic lter described previ-
ously.
Hum and Buzz
If you have noticeable hum or buzz
in your system, you may want to
check your cable connections to
see if the unwanted noise is being
introduced via a ground loop. To
determine the proper wiring, rst
check whether the output from
your source is unbalanced or bal-
anced (if you dont know, refer to
the units back panel or Operation
Manual). Next, determine if the
sources power cable is oating
(ungrounded, 2-prong) or grounded (3-prong). Finally, if the source in unbalanced, check the
type of wiring: twin-lead or single coax. Once you have determined the wiring scheme and
cable type, refer to the applicable wiring diagram in Section 1.2.1.
1. For all input connectivity, use
shielded wire only. Cables with a foil
wrap shield or a high-density braid
are superior. Cables with a stranded
spiral shield, although very exible,
will break down over time and cause
noise problems.
2. Try to avoid using unbalanced
lines with professional equipment. If
you have no choice, keep the cables
as short as possible (see Balanced
vs. Unbalanced on the next page).
3. To minimize hum and crosstalk,
avoid running low-level input cables,
high-level output wires and AC power
feeds in the same path. Try to run
differing signal-cable paths at 90
to one another. If you must use a
common path for all cables, use
a star-quad cable for the low-level
signals.
4. Before changing input connec-
tors or wiring, turn the amplier level
controls all the way down (counter-
clockwise).
5. Before changing output connec-
tions, turn the amplier level down
and the AC power off to minimize the
chance of short-circuiting the output.

Usable Range @-6dB [a] 39 Hz 250 Hz
Sensitivity 1W @ 1m[b] 102 dB SPL Nominal
Peak SPL @ 1m[b] 131 to 134 dB Peak (500 to 1200W RMS Amp)
Dispersion [c] Hypercardiod pattern 120 x 120 over the entire useable bandwidth. Directivity Control is achieved through
DSP algorithms in the NX242 Digital TDcontroller (two channels of the NX242 are used for the process).
Directivity Index [c] Q =3.773 DI =5.7 dB over the entire useable bandwidth.
Crossover Frequency 150 Hz Active through NX242 Digital TDcontroller
Nominal Impedance 2x 6 Ohms
Recommended Amplifiers 2 amplifier channels are required for Hypercardiod operation, each rated at 1500 to 3000 Watts into 4 ohms
per channel. Up to 2 complete CD12s per channel may be connected to a two channel amplifier.

Connectors 2 x NL4MP SPEAKON 4 pole (In & Through)
Construction Baltic Birch Ply finish with structured black coating. Dark grey carpet finish also available.
Flying points Integral flying system.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Electronic Controller The NX242 Digital TDcontroller presets are precisely matched to the GEO S8-Series cabinets and include
sophisticated protection systems. Using GEO S8-Series cabinets without a properly connected NX242 Digital
TDcontroller will result in poor sound quality and can damage components.
Sub-bass The GEO S805 & S830 can be used without the optional CD12 Hypercardiod Sub. In this case the NX242
can be used in stereo. With the CD12 Hypercardiod Sub each Sub channel requires two NX242 outputs and
the NX242 will operate in mono.
Speaker Cables The front loudspeaker of the CD12 is wired 2+& 2- while the rear loudspeaker is wired 1- & 1+. The CD12
must use separate cables to the GEO S805/S830.
Rigging System See corresponding chapter of this manual.
As part of a policy of continual improvement, NEXO reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
[a] Response Curves and Data: Anechoic Far Field above 200 Hz, Half-space Anechoic below 200 Hz.
Usable Range Data: Frequency Response Capability with TD crossover slopes removed.
[b] Sensitivity & Peak SPL: will depend on spectral distribution. Measured with band limited Pink Noise.
Refers to the specified +/- 3 dB range. Data are for Speaker +Processor +recommended amplifier combinations.
[c] Directivity Curves and Data: 1/3 octave smoothed frequency response, normalized to On-Axis response. Data obtained by computer processing of
off-axis response curves.
