Re: Line Array Setup and Angle
Changes are good, it moves things forwards.
I have a specific way of testing new equipment, mostly insert/fx stuff and microphones.
I read the manual and bring it to a festival gig. Nothing beats teasting a piece of equipment under fire where you have to make it work.
It's funny how a lot of people call me insane and reckless because of this approach.
That and refusing to use 0 degrees in a speaker array.
I rigged a large-format array from a known manufacturer from the US using 2 degrees in the longthrow section throwing about 55m to the far seats. Some people thought that this was a really strange thing to do because they always start at 0 or 1 degree in their designs. Never mind that the actual coverage requirements from the number of boxes I had and the desired SPL profile dictated 2 degrees at the top 3 boxes, having a flat portion is important because it's a line array or whatever these people belive. It's just speakers. They interact, they add and substract, the main difference is how well behaved they are at this IMHO.
Sorry for making a mess of this thread. I guess I'm tired of hearing all this nonsense about speakers. Back to the studio
