[QUOTE="harrybrilljr, post: 92276, member: 103"] Re: Cardioid Subs in a Smaller venue. Couple in which direction? The distances I am calling close in this case are about a quarter wavelength. The drivers are spaced upstage to downstage. If they were all on the same amp channel the pattern would be between omni and bi directional. I have to admit, I'm just a dumb soundguy and your posts are a bit hard for me to read so I might be misunderstanding something. That being said we tend to over complicate things. One thing I like about Dave's approach is he just tries things and figures out what works where. Eventually we all end up in about the same place. Some will get stuck in minutia and never progress. Dave doesn't go in with preconceived notions. Spenser, how long is a string. I mean I don't know your situation. I like to have lots and lots of smaller subs so I can create arrays based on the situation at hand. It could be a different array everyday as those that have toured with me can attest. No 2 venues are alike. In many cases just stacking them high and wide on each side of the stage does the trick just fine. Arcing them around the corners a bit helps open it up. There is a reason ShowCo and Clair had 20 subs a side long before we were even having this discussion. [/QUOTE]
