Re: Behringer line array



And everybody "knows" that line arrays are better----------------------------


It is really amazing the number of customers that sales guys run into that statement and what the "general public" thinks of line arrays.


Yet when questioned about WHY they are better-they can't give any reasons.  And if they do offer anything it is usually the statement that line arrays only fall off at a rate if 3dB/doubling of distance vs 6dB for "normal" loudspeakers.


But they don't realize that this only applies if the line is long enough (in many cases they aren't), and they totally dismiss the fact that a properly designed "point source" will have the SAME level at the front as the rear seating (at least in the install world-not so much the portable world).  So there is no "falling off" in level-at least at the listening positions.
