NOTE: To further constrain the low-frequency beamwidth, two LA808i-II LFDE units may be used. In this case mount one LA880i-II between the two LA808i-II units. Wire one LA808i-II and the LA880i-II as described above. Feed the other LA808i-II the same full-range signal but from another amplifier channel. Do not wire the two units in parallel unless the amp is 2-ohm stable.
