VMB launch the first loudspeaker cabinet with built-in inclinometer: An LCD display provides readout of the pitch angle as
well as the temperature of the hottest amplification element. To compensate for array size, users enter the number of boxes
using push locations integrated into the screen (so they do not protrude). The system then automatically applies inclinometer
data (which is only read at power-up to avoid movements of the array from affecting the processing) to calibrate box throw
to long, medium or short. For non-standard set-ups, this can also be defined manually. For added flexibility in complex
applications, corrections for box throw and array elements can be bypassed and performed by an external processor.
The inclinometer is incoporated in to both the Lynx V8 and Lynx F6 Line Arrays and establishes VMB as a pioneer in the manufacture
of Line Array systems.
