[QUOTE="Daniel Postilnik, post: 2464, member: 184"] I may be doing a basic install job for a high end restaurant. It's one long room, about 30' wide by 80' long. There are remnants of systems from earlier restaurants in the same space: --In-ceiling speakers running the length of the room on side spaced every 6 feet or so --10 holes in the wall with cables coming out where bracket mounted speakers used to be. I don't know how everything is/was wired (home runs, 70v, etc.) but my question is more about theory. Whatever the wiring, Will I need to include a processor in the new system to create different delay zones in the same room? If I had that many sound sources in a live setting everything would be delayed accordingly. Do restaurant systems usually have this kind of processing? More generally, why do I never hear multiple sources when I'm in coffeeshops that don't have anything but 6 speakers around the room near the ceiling, wired on a multi-channel home theater receiver unit? Is it because it's usually not loud enough to matter? I've been to shitty sports bars with two tv sets on either end of the room and the echo effect is noticeable... [/QUOTE]
