Re: Fighting Reflective Rooms Through Speaker Placement Angles
The school isn't interested, and to be honest, there's a whole bunch of "standards" that we have to follow in our installs that make it pretty much impossible to get a good system in there. Hence, I'm focusing on all temporary stuff. It's a harder room, though it seems simple at first. The reality is that it is a 92 foot deep house with only a floor at a 3-6 degree grade, and a ceiling height of 20' descending to 18' by the back of the room. Every surface, minus the floor, is reflective- and highly at that. It's a nightmare, and the only installs that the county will do nowadays is to put two JBL speakers (usually Control 29s, Control 30s, or sometimes Applied Engineering series stuff, if they feel generous) on the proscenium (!) in their brackets. They refuse to fly anything, and the last time I checked the wiring it's usually 100+ feet of 18ga. to the speakers. I've basically given up on the install approach.
Not to mention that even if they did agree to do the install, it would take 3 weeks because of the "system" to get it approved, checked, and actually put in. A new install of 36 S4LEDs on 4 trusses took about… 3-4 weeks plus inspection? Granted they had to tear out the conventionals, but it was ridiculous! They spent 3 days removing an electric…
Bottom line, I'm looking for temporary solutions, as much as I'd love to have a good install. I really do appreciate the encouragement to get a good install in there.
