An innovative approach to vertical array technology in large-scale sound reinforcement is presented. The innovation introduced consists in mechanical arrangement of the array as well as DSP processing for computer assisted coverage optimization. Beyond these innovations, a different form factor of the vertical array elements and the unusual acoustic principle of dipole are also involved as well as an alternative mechanical aiming method. The paper presents a synthesis of this innovative concept supported by detailed descriptions, test measurement results and proven results from real world applications that have been done.
