© 2006 Hybrid College International âHybrid also provides a wide range of engineering and project management support to professional audio/video system contractors. A note about Hybrid College International. â Hybrid College International was established in 1991 as North America’s first licensed and bonded college to offer high-level training for the custom audio/video system design and installation industry. About Hybrid A/V Training Engineering & Management Support SA-S Certification âHybrid has been designated as the official world-wide certifier for Sound Alignment Systems.

© 2006 Hybrid College International âSA-S has been designed to help system contractors, professional sound engineers and residential custom installers achieve a more precise and effective installation. What is “Sound Alignment Systems”? â Sound Alignment Systems is a unique and comprehensive system of specialized laser tools, accessories and procedures. SA-S Tools & Accessories P-770 Rotary Base 2-way Splitter Lens Line Lens Rotary Base Plate LG-120

© 2006 Hybrid College International âIt is a laser alignment device that utilizes a three-dimensionally aligned laser and horizontal vial for reference alignment. âIt has a fully machined body and accepts the full range of SA-S accessories. P-770 âThe P-770 is the core component of SA- S tools.

© 2006 Hybrid College International Rotary Base âThe Rotary Base allows layout orientation of loudspeakers via angular alignment to each component and room orientation. âBy using the Rotary Base one can also orient layouts from a level plane of reference, quickly and effectively giving a precise means of complete system setup.

© 2006 Hybrid College International âIt also rotates 360° about the Lens Adapter Base and works in conjunction with the Protractor for angular referencing. âOperation of the 2-way Splitter Lens requires a lens base adapter. âThe 2-way Beam Splitter Lens projects a 90-degree dot and straight beam dot simultaneously from the P-770 unit. 2-way Splitter Lens

© 2006 Hybrid College International Line Lens âThe Line Lens generates a visible laser line at approximately 100° wide from the P-770 unit.

© 2006 Hybrid College International âThe Rotary Base Plate is designed as a rack platform that allows for quick use of the Rotary Base on any edge (such as a loudspeaker enclosure). âIt can also be mounted on a tripod. SA-S Rotary Base Plate

© 2006 Hybrid College International âThe Variable Line Generator (LG 120) produces a super bright laser line with a dispersion angle that is adjustable from 15° to 100°. LG 120: Variable Line Generator âThis allows for visualization of any loudspeaker’s acoustical dispersion pattern. âUtilizing the variable aperature feature, the dispersion pattern of any tweeter or midrange driver can instantly be “seen” as it emanates from the loudspeaker. âThe interaction between the generated sound waves and existing room geometry can, for the first time, be visually observed in any room or hall.

© 2006 Hybrid College International How does one use the LG 120 to model a loudspeaker’s dispersion pattern? âThe Variable Line Generator (LG 120) can be used on any loudspeaker system by either holding the unit flat against the face of the loudspeaker or by using the optional SA-S steel base plate that allows for “hands-free” operation.

© 2006 Hybrid College International Step By Step Instructions for Projector-to-Screen Orientation âBy combining the use of the 770 Laser Alignment Tool (P-770) and a 2-way Beam Splitter Attachment on a R2-D2 Rotary Base one can both easily and successfully orient any projector to its corresponding screen. âFor detailed step-by-step instructions please refer to the SA-S User Manual.

© 2006 Hybrid College International Step No. 1 âAfter the screen has been installed and positioned, install the P-770 on the R2- D2 Rotary Base and Tripod. Position the assembly as close to the screen as the room layout and existing architecture will allow.
