[QUOTE="Kevin Hayes, post: 91669, member: 4060"] Re: Cardioid Subs in a Smaller venue. My company has a venue with a small but very live stage thanks to a bandshell. We've had consistent noise complaints from neighbors and with a live band had trouble keeping things within our DB limits(95 peak a-weighted). Since we've switched to cardioid subs(D&B B4s), the stage noise has decreased significantly. The bands don't crank their amps as much, the monitors don't have to run as hot, and best of all no complaints from the neighbors. That being said, when bigger acts come in we've been known to throw cardioid out the window because we do lose some energy out the front. For most events(corporate, galas, weddings) we don't need in your face bass, but I haven't heard a cardioid sub or configuration that's really wow'ed me. [/QUOTE]
