[QUOTE="Helge A. Bentsen, post: 97865, member: 263"] Re: Line Array Setup and Angle I've had engineers touring with national acts tell me that you can't use more than -6dB of eq on any given PA because it's bad for the sound. The same people insist that you have to use the correct array correction for the number of boxes. Guess what, the array correction is just an eq. IDK, but why using a factory adjusted low shelf of -9dB is supposedly not bad for the sound but entering the data manually into the processor is somehow wrong just doesn't make sense to me. These are the same people who can't decide if the xo between lows and subs is correct and will spend a lot of time testing xo frequencies and polarity without any dramatic improvements, because measuring a PA is bad. So i aligned the crossover one day with smaart, told them I'd replaced a broken cable and everybody was happy. Hopefully you're a wiser man Per :) Now, back to the studio. [/QUOTE]
