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?
