The Waves Audio Sub Align plug-in allows subwoofers and full-range speakers in a PA system to be aligned in situations where the subs are tied in with the tops, and the system processor is inaccessible.
The physical position of tops and subs and the distance between them are critical for the accuracy and clarity of the PA system. However, in many small and mid-sized venues the tops and the subs are not properly aligned. In order to clear floor space, the subs are usually stacked at the sides of the venue or all the way in the back, causing the sound to be smeared and unfocused. Frequently, the system processor is also inaccessible, and the PA subs are tied in with the tops.
Sub Align gives control over the delay between tops and subs, and creating a crossover point between them. This allows the subs to be ‘moved’ back or forward in relation to the tops, until the alignment is empirically correct. To achieve extra clarity and punch, Sub Align also gives control over the subs’ volume and polarity/phase.
