[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 82922, member: 30"] Re: 2" exit "line array" horn lens? While the basic concept is pretty simple (like all the good ideas) the actual implementation is not so easy. On the Danley Paraline used in the GH60-I spent a lot of time with super glue and balsa strips-xacto knives and measurements to find out the sizes needed in different parts of the lens. The first one did not "fill out" the 60° horizontal pattern the way I would like (it was more like 40°) so we worked on it until it did. Just like the Tapped horn. There are lots of people making their own-using the basic concepts-but I see (in just about all of the cases) there is an "unaccounted for" in the design. That is the reason the Danley versions work better. Tom does not use a "program" to design them-per say. Rather it is several programs (that he mixes in his head) and then spits out an answer. We build it-measure it-figure out where the "model" was wrong or different-adjust the model-build-test etc. The whole idea is to get the "combination of programs that is his "model"" to match the actual cabinet built. It took a little while to get it to "lineup". All this to say-if it doesn't work right the first time-it is probably the implementation that is wrong-not the concept. Danley does not use this on all of their products (in fact just a limited few)-but it does offer some unique solutions for certain products. [/QUOTE]
