[QUOTE="David Wilkins, post: 30841, member: 671"] Re: Installation speaker ideas for a gymnasium Asking for a loudspeaker choice in a simple forum like this for a space without the responders knowing what are the expected system performance parameters, what the the impulse response of the room is, the wall and ceiling surfaces et al; is the type of question that really disappoints me. I think it is incumbent upon a professional audio consultant, especially who uses the word 'engineering' in their company name, to use the tools of the trade such as EASE and EASERA to define the room in a CAD model and try various cabinets whose manufactures supply the data for such tools. There are so many benefits to this approach not the least of which is a very high confidence level in your own work and being able to present to the customer what they will get for their money. Such questions lead me to believe such do diligence isn't taking place. I suspect this space is highly reverberant yet needs a high STI so that the announcer's speech is intelligible even with a typically loud crowd in the bleachers. This is definitely something you don't want to guess at. [/QUOTE]
