Re: Fighting Reflective Rooms Through Speaker Placement Angles
Actually, they are on shelves, and their height prevents them from hitting the first 2-6 rows well, or the first 20 I'm not sure why they were put on those shelves, but I digress.
Ivan, considering that the really frustrating reverberation in the room is about 800-6k, I'll take what I can get from an average horn this time. I'd love to have a pair of Danley SHs in there, but that IS a bit out of budget… at least install wise. 
~:-D~:grin:
The problem with the center cluster is two things: first, the coverage of those will drop the corner seats, and second, will throw a ton of sound on the left/right walls from that height. Actually, I lied. There's a third: it's in the way of the lights from the catwalk. (See attached CAD sketch) The catwalk is another sob story, but this is a sound forum. Might be able to hang from a point just in front of the catwalk and drop it below. Then we run into a lack of front/back coverage. Hm. I'm assuming that's what you meant by horn rotation. If they let me do it, it might work.
I'll add that to the pile of suggestions. Thanks Brian!
Another option that's forming in my mind (if I can't rotate the horns) is to hang them horizontally. The L-tracks will work better for that anyway, I think. In the event that I do, should I hang them with the 15s on the inside or outside? Outside, right? Or inside? Maybe I'll just run the math. That's always a start.
One last thing I'd like to bring up is that we're likely going to use all tracks for this production, so no live pit orchestra. I'll end up having to provide monitors, and for an apron that size, I was thinking that the two 115s could be disguised in scenery about where I was suggesting the stack be, acting as a sort of side fills. The install monitors are behind the proscenium and stuck behind the thick curtain of the legs (great install, once again…).
