[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 106509, member: 30"] Re: Endfire sub array under a stage More than likely what you were "experiencing" was simply less of "other sound" that comes from the subs spraying energy all over the place. So you heard more of the direct sound and less of the "reflected". Just like any speaker system-the greater the direct sound-the cleaner it will be. Hence the reason for using large horns to keep the energy where it is supposed to be (on the people) and not where it isn't (walls-ceiling etc). Wider ratios are welcome anywhere: direct to reverberant, Signal to noise, continuous vs peak. It is not the single component-but rather the ratio between them that makes the difference. I have seen it several times where when the sound is all "muddy" people want to run the system harder-thinking it will sound clearer-when all it does is get worse. With a cleaner/more direct sound-very often the levels will come down. When the levels come down-there is less distortion-less ear overload and so forth. So the sound is better. Unless it is the "crushing wall of sound" that one is looking for-then it really doesn't matter-just make everything louder than everything else. [/QUOTE]
