[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 213975, member: 172"] What coverage angles do you need to hit from the speaker hang points (both for folks in coverage, and where you want no coverage)? How far from the hang to the closest and furthest listeners? And what's your rough budget? In my experience, a hang of 4 baby array boxes has similar performance to a medium-sized trap box. While the array boxes have better flexibility for portable systems and lighter per-box weight, the trap boxes will usually sound better and may have more choices for dispersion pattern. On the HDL-6a in particular, if you look at the off-axis response, you'll find that it only has about a 60 degree wide coverage angle through the vocal range, with the added bonus of wide coverage of the boom and sizzle. So not high on my list of boxes for use indoors. Personally, I'd be looking at install-specific trap boxes from established players (e.g. Fulcrum, Danley, EAW) instead of MI-grade baby array boxes, and with external amplification (should be lower installation cost) [/QUOTE]
