[QUOTE="Randy Pence, post: 100717, member: 1108"] Re: Low ceiling, long room - delays or louder PA? Okay, feeling a bit silly. Went in last week and the rcf's were hanging. It wasnt possibly to play with the jbl angles, but with the hard ware provided for the rcf's, I could. I dont think a minute went by on my miles davis cd before i had already aimed and set the speaker with the cymbals doing their thing at hte back of the room. The owner was quite happy that PA design wouldnt need to get complex. While I get Art's point about not spilling onto the ceiling, a pair of sh-25s are simply not going to be a financially practical possibility. The owner is now hot for a different pair of active speakers (90x55 nominal dispersion) and the price is too good to pas up. If something else down the line will be a better solution, these can be used for dj monitors in one of the other rooms. But Art, you don't think 25 degrees of vertical isnt a bit too narrow to cover the front rows? Stage wash can be a magical thing, but DIed instruments dont make much noise on their own. Many of the performances are seated, too. I've been in dj systems engineer for over 13 years, and had come to favor wider vertical dispersion for hte given rooms and equipment I had available to work with. The requirements for what i consider a good dj/strictly electronic performance and foh based mixdown are different. Live mixing is still something im getting my head around the last 5 years or so, and virtually all of the rigs were heavily compromise somewhere, so im still learning what parameters to define for myself.
