Wavefield-synthesis systems were the first to apply large horizontal arrays for sound reproduction and live sound. While there has been some success for experimental music or sound art, results for music and live sound are limited. The reasons for this are array sound quality, insufficient sound pressure level, spatial aliasing, and interference and inflexible array control algorithm. Nevertheless, the application of high resolution horizontal arrays with appropriate array control systems produces exceptional sound quality, extensive flexibility to adjust to acoustic conditions, and remarkable control over sound distribution. Advanced systems can overcome many shortcomings in traditional sound systems. This paper describes the concepts and technology of high performance HRH-arrays and their utilization for church sound through examples of application in Korean churches.
