If it sounds good it is good but... a few observations based on your description. The array probably shouldn't cover the front row in any case. Thats the job of the front fills. Both in terms of acoustic balance as well as psychoacoustics the singer in front of you shouldn't be heard from over head. Any subs in the array are eating valuable vertical trim height and should be moved laterally or to the floor. Line arrays were designed to fill a particular application niche, large arenas for the most part as well as outdoor long throw spaces. Auditoriums might and might not be a suitable use but it depends so much on the space that its not an automatic fit. Use outside of that sort of application is often just wrong up to and including side fill monitors for DJs and large rock stages. The DJ thing in particular just cracks me up, looks good over sounds good but DJs ... shrug.

[QUOTE="Riley Casey, post: 215523, member: 125"] If it sounds good it is good but... a few observations based on your description. The array probably shouldn't cover the front row in any case. Thats the job of the front fills. Both in terms of acoustic balance as well as psychoacoustics the singer in front of you shouldn't be heard from over head. Any subs in the array are eating valuable vertical trim height and should be moved laterally or to the floor. Line arrays were designed to fill a particular application niche, large arenas for the most part as well as outdoor long throw spaces. Auditoriums might and might not be a suitable use but it depends so much on the space that its not an automatic fit. Use outside of that sort of application is often just wrong up to and including side fill monitors for DJs and large rock stages. The DJ thing in particular just cracks me up, looks good over sounds good but DJs ... shrug. [/QUOTE]
