The principle behind the operation of MLA is based on the combined mechanical/digital control of directivity. Digital allows for the control of directivity up to around 4KHz; mechanical, assisted by digital, from 4KHz to over 15KHz. This enables the system to reach the following targets:

An aesthetically non-intrusive vertical column that is readily adaptable to any environment
Control of full-range directivity from the lower frequencies (depending upon the length of the column) up to and over 15KHz
Elevated SPL, thanks to the usage of a compression drivers e wave guide at high frequencies
LImited number of transducers and therefore DSP channels and amplifiers associated with “no compromise” systems of exclusively digital steering with drastic reduction of cost.
