[QUOTE="Kevin Hayes, post: 91648, member: 4060"] Re: Cardioid Subs in a Smaller venue. Cardioid sub configurations in small-midsize venues is really useful. Cutting down the amount of force reflecting off the back wall/going into mics keeps the stage quiet/clean, which helps your monitor and front of house mixes. It may not be a drastic difference depending how big the room is, but it should help. That being said, in an ideal situation using your gear you would be limited to only having the force of the one 2x18", which may not be desirable for bigger events since you probably want to have at least two dual 18"s per side in action. Theoretically cardioid subs work by throwing sound completely out of phase behind the subwoofer, so theoretically(I'm sure someone can elaborate on some of the intricacies), you should be able to achieve the effect by offsetting the timing of the rear facing sub in processing.
