[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 40421, member: 42"] Re: Acoustic treatment alternatives If I have full coverage of the venue with the high frequency horns on my boxes so that direct sound is reaching the entire audience, how would having HF bouncing around be beneficial? I've always been under the impression that the less reflection, the better. When running PA outdoors on an open field, It always seems beneficial to not have high frequency reflection. Is that not ideal? Or should I be concerned that the low end will truly "outrun" the high end? For reference, the room won't be totally dead. The floor will still be a hard smooth surface. There will also be windows about 12 feet above the floor on one wall. Some of the back loft wall area will also be left uncovered since it's a mortar and stone wall which is not parallel to the stage. Other than the 400-500Hz range, standing waves have not been an issue below that range. Thanks for the insight, Greg [/QUOTE]
