[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 89305, member: 30"] Re: Line array for 1500 cap venue But don;t you know lyin arrays are better? "Everybody" know that! YEAH RIGHT I bet if you questioned most people and asked them what the advantage of a lyiin array is over a point source they could not give you an answer-and if they come up with "something" it would be that a lyin array only drops at 3dB/doubling of distance. But I bet if you asked them how large it had to be to do that-you would get a blank stare. And while a point source drops at inverse square law-that DOES NOT mean you can't get even coverage. If you get the cabinets up in the air and aim them down-and use the -6dB point of the cabinet for closer people-it is pretty easy to have THE SAME level at the front as the rear of the venue (depending-----) But they don't understand that-and all they do is simply repeat what somebody has told them-and they won't do enough work to think for themselves. Currently lyin arrays have their place-but IN MOST CASES it is NOT for installed systems in small venues. That can be done cheaper and better with more traditional approaches. But lyin arrays are "in" and "cool" and "all the rage"--- Those systems that provide more even coverage are soooo "boring" and not as "sexy".
