[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 132670, member: 172"] Re: DV array size proportional to LF response? I thought that manufacturers were in the business of making money by selling customers products that the customer wants. Note that for loudspeaker companies, this does not always mean selling more boxes. Customers typically care about many things when they are buying loudspeakers. Among those things are scalability, box size and weight, price point, and how it fits into the customer's business model. Physics dictates that there are output and efficiency tradeoffs for smaller, lighter, more scalable boxes, and customers vote with their wallets. Obviously, things are a bit different between the install and portable worlds, as the customers have different requirements. To the OP, there are some manufacturers that make LF only line array elements for use in improving array directivity and pushing the near field transition to a lower frequency. There are also come manufacturers that allow subs to integrate into line array hangs for similar reasons. Both of these approaches can get you some "free" LF output out of the array. [/QUOTE]
