Wavelaunch Array
The Wavelaunch Array is designed specifically for the highest quality in music and sound reproduction, providing unprecedented uniform directivity control down to the second octave.
The digital matrix steering assures off-center seating is as balanced as the center of the house. The 'tic-tac-toe' array utilizes dipolar radiators in the four corner cells to contour side radiation and greatly reduce spill-over.
Available with up to 4 channels of 1,000 watts internal power, the cells of the matrix are adjustable in time and intensity relative to their neighboring cells. The DSP processing is available in 4 x 8, 8 x 8, and 16 x 16 input/output configurations, making the Wavelaunch Array the perfect solution for high definition audio in the theater environment.

How Legacy Achieves Constant Directivity Full Bandwidth
The central cluster assures a controlled and uniform radiation pattern. As the frequency drops, the energy is progressively shared out to the perimeter drivers. This accounts for highly uniform directivity.
But unlike other designs, the directivity remains uniform even at low frequencies due to the proprietary steering method and dependence on constructive and destructive interference.
At the rear, the dipoles destructively combine at low frequencies with the omnidirection bass elements to nearly cancel rear radiation. Nicknamed the 'Tic Tac Toe' array, this technology developed by Chief Designer, Bill Dudleston, has been implemented in a number of Legacy designs.
