[QUOTE="Jason Raboin, post: 99276, member: 524"] Re: Danley We were talking about the live music world, so rarely would there be a system deployed without subs. I look for my "tops" to be "flat" to 80 hz. If I'm doing spoken word or solo acoustic I don't need subs but I also don't need 50 hz. When I mentioned ARCS, I was actually picturing the ARCS Wide and Focus products, which are pole mountable, array vertically or horizontally, and clamp to a truss. They seem, on paper at least, a very versatile box. I would want to be able to turn up the boxes as you moved up the array to achieve more even front to back SPL. Is that a bad Idea? I know it is generally frowned upon with a line array, but with a traditional array I figured it could work. As to the question of how many boxes to make "flat", I don't see why you have to choose. I get that you are going to lose something, but with the DSP available today, why couldn't you just have a 1/2/3 setting in a processor? Meyer has M Series Array Correction, D&B has CPL adjustment. To take it a step further, I am really interested in the Martin MLA Mini concept, which houses amps and DSP to power up to 4 tops and 1 sub in the sub enclosure. It would be great to have a sub hub that powered a couple of top boxes. [/QUOTE]
