Re: Line Array Setup and Angle



Of the line array setups that I have walked from front to back and vice versa with pink noise, I have found that the most interference/combfiltering is in the near field.


Maybe I haven't listened to enough line arrays this way--------------------------------------


The basic problem is that the horns are simply not large enough to have any sort of pattern control-except in the top octave or two.  As the horn pattern narrows-it has to get larger to maintain the same pattern at a particular freq. And with "10°" boxes-that would require a HUGE horn-to even have control down to 1Khz-to the tune of 8' tall-per cabinet.  500Hz would be twice as tall-hence the issues.
