[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 100829, member: 30"] Re: Low ceiling, long room - delays or louder PA? That is just part of sound design 101-the basics. Yet the whole concept is beyond most people. They forget that the level drops with distance-so the loudest part of the signal HAS to be pointed at the furthest listener. Then as you move closer the distance gets shorted-so the level out of the loudspeaker needs to be quieter (ie in the part of the horn that has less output) for the levels to be equal. This way you get even coverage from front to back-IF that is what is intended. If that is NOT the intention-then one needs to accurately define what they want (they also like to forget that part and go with what others think about a particular product-whether it is right or not for the room/application). It is amazing to me how many people say they want 1 level of performance and then settle on something completely different-because they got a deal on it. So the original criteria wasn't important anyway then was it? Don't say you want a sports car that can go from 0-60 in 5 seconds (and get peoples opinions from the internet)-and they buy a used minivan because "you got a good deal". Not the same thing. But it happens all the time. You FIRST have to decide your budget-THEN start looking at what does the job and fits in the budget. [/QUOTE]
