[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 97863, member: 1285"] Re: Line Array Setup and Angle Shouldn't be frequenting the forums then :lol: Acoustics is a very complicated field in many respects, because it is a combination of gas dynamics and the "purer" wave theory that governs acoustics in solids and non-compressible liquids. (If we were fish it would be a lot easier). Line arrays as a concept isn't that complicated, and it isn't really that hard to build line-array boxes. However, just because someone has the money to buy a line-array doesn't mean they have the foggiest idea about how it works, and even attending a week-end course by a manufacturer and receiving a certificate doesn't mean one has even a basic understanding of the concepts, the physics and the mechanics. Separating the nonsense from the truth can be very hard sometimes, and sometimes what might appear reasonable might be totally off, and the wildest nonsense might actually have a degree of truth to it. I believe in keeping an open mind and try to reconcile any theory with what I know about physics and mechanics, sometimes with the help of concepts and principles from disciplines that might seem far removed from the topic at hand, one never know when there is an Eureka-moment just waiting to happen. As for lazy crews, motivation can go a long way, and taking some time to "Hey you guys, what if we tried this today?" when preparing in the shop might be a good idea. [/QUOTE]
