Re: FIR filters


Back to the basics:


In theory, if a powered line array box used traditional DSP for EQ, Xovers, time alignment, etc.  -and-  then box was then upgraded to FIR filter processing, what would be the real world differences in sound quality?


I have been told it will be louder, by as much as 4-6dB.  I assume this is because there is no phase cancelations from the FIR filter.

I am told the whole box sounds better in the horizontal plane.  Again, I assume becuase of the lack of phase issues in a FIR filter.


Is this accurate?  Any more real-world benefits of a FIR upgrade?
