[QUOTE="Chris Greco, post: 11623, member: 1346"] I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day and he told me of an experience he had that made me do a double take and I wanted to put it out there to see if this could be true. He was on a festival type multi stage summer outdoor show with a 16 box flown DV rig, 8 tops 2 subs per side. During the day they were running kids bands with a substantially smaller audience which was close to the stage. So they ran the rig 4 [B]bottom[/B] boxes only to minimize the coverage area to the near field area. At some point during the day another event on the fairgrounds needed additional boxes so they dropped the array and removed 4 from each side, adjusted the angle, turned on the top (only boxes now) and continued on. He claims that the low frequency response of the 4 box array was much less than that of the 8 box array with only 4 boxes on? Is it possible that the physical size of an 8 box flown array with only 4 boxes on would exhibit that kind of LF behavior? ??? I have to give him the benefit of the doubt as far as the obvious stuff but yea it was a festival and quite possibly they were serving festival juice, but I doubt they were setting a bad example for the kids and partaking early on during the kids shows...
