Live & Concert Sound

Augment conventional directional PA with a Differential Mode sphere emitter, so the audience receives the direct and room components of the program at once – in controlled proportion, as captured or as extracted.

The chain, crystallized for the venue

Direct for the audience, rotational for the room

A touring or installed rig keeps its directional boxes aimed at the crowd. Alongside them, an M.A. sphere emitter radiates the Differential Mode into the venue, so the room cooperates with the program instead of fighting it.

  1. Directional PA – unchanged.

    The directional system keeps carrying the direct sound to the audience.

  2. The dodecahedron sphere emitter.

    Twelve free-radiating drivers on a pentagonal-dodecahedron frame carry the Differential Mode at venue scale – a reference cabinet combines sub, direct and room emission in one column.

  3. Feed it from any source.

    Native M.A. capture, correlation-extracted Differential Mode from stereo/multichannel, or difference-derived DM from the L/R console buses.

  4. M.A emitter helps to mask 1st reflections

    The emitted differential mode from the M.A. Sphere can help to mask the effects of "slapback" in a room from the conventional sound reinforcement.

Signal feed options

  • Native M.A. capture – recorded Diff-x/y/z from the Triple Microphone Unit
  • Stereo / multichannel – correlation-controlled extracted DM
  • Mono legacy – studio re-amp upconversion workflow
  • Live console feed – difference-derived DM from L/R buses

Designed to deliver

  • Direct sound and room envelopment, in controlled proportion
  • A room that cooperates with M.A. emission through reflections
  • Envelopment without degrading imaging

Why it matters for Live

  • Adds a controllable room dimension to a conventional PA without replacing it
  • The Differential Mode path is incremental hardware beside the existing rig
  • Works on the content that already exists – no special capture pipeline required

Deployment

  • Touring sound reinforcement
  • Installed venue & theater systems
  • Immersive / spatial concert productions
  • Festival and arena main stages
