[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 98186, member: 30"] Re: Line Array Setup and Angle It is amazing the crap that MANY people in audio will "spew" out as fact. Somebody told them-so therefore it MUST be true-even though with a just a minimal amount of thought it would be quickly debunked. I think my favorite was years ago in a magazine article about how to get the most bass out of a club system. It was written by the FOH guy for Blue Oyster Cult-WOW I wish I still had that article. He described how to make a "special box" that you could easily put into a rig to test to get more bass. It was an AC POWER box in which the neutral and hot wires were swapped. He claimed that this would flip the polarity of the SPEAKER and you could try this and see which way you got the most bass. NOT!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say-NOT A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But he actually had pictures to show how to "wire it properly" for his idea---------- Yet he actually got a magazine article PUBLISHED about the method-which did not work at all as described and could be a shock hazard. But yet he is probably still out there spouting total crap and some people are probably believing him----------------------------------- And many people just swallow "hook line and sinker" whatever a manufacturer "sells" them-without doing further investigating and actually applying thought to what is being said and actually measuring or testing for themselves to see if the performance is as claimed. Oh well------------------------------ We push on-------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
