[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 125732, member: 67"] Re: L'acoustics Dv-Dosc Installation - Recommandation It's not about generating SPL by combining boxes (proper arrays, vertical or horizontal, don't work that way), it's about selecting the box with the SPL you need, and then properly installing enough of them to provide the coverage required by the audience geometry. This is why I discourage folks from buying insufficient quantities of vertical array speakers, thinking they will add to inventory at a later time. Adding the boxes one should have purchased at the outset *almost never happens*, based on my observations, and leads to audience disappointment and potential conflicts with an artist's production crew. Likewise, installing too many conventional loudspeakers in the horizontal plane creates another set of problems. Loudspeaker installations should be designed for coverage and the products selected based on their ability to deliver the needed SPL over the coverage area. If you are questioning the ability of the Dv to deliver the SPL you want, I submit you'll be questioning your purchase until you replace it because: it gets blown up or you give multiple refunds to unhappy customers. Distilled down, this tells me you are probably not purchasing the loudspeaker system that you know (deep inside) you really need. This leads to 2 thoughts that we repeat often on these forums: 1- The wrong product at the 'right price' is still the wrong product. 2- Buy once, cry once. Have fun and good luck with your endeavour. edit ps. as previously noted, it looks like you're seeking validation of an already-made decision. How many loudspeaker systems do you want to install in this venue? See #2. [/QUOTE]
