[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 89528, member: 30"] Re: Maximum analog snake length And to just "add to the stupidity" -I was just catching up on my synaudcon lists and found this that was posted from another forum. Where do they find these people-and WHERE do they get these ideas? Everything in the post is WRONG! And he makes a living doing this?????? "I've specifically worked with sound installations for 4 years and most of them were in gymnasiums. What T Lawrence said sounds right on point. If you care about the quality of the sound and avoiding "dead"spots DO NOT just raise the speakers and turn them towards the audience. You really need your sound waves to be reflected off walls and even possibly the ceiling (if you can) in order to amplify the sound without having to increase the volume to a point where "information" is lost i.e. certain words or notes go completely unrecognizable. I've also found hanging a few smaller speakers from the ceiling or if there is a grid you can hang some there at 1300. Personally, in the gymnasiums I used 3-5 hanging EAW SMS5's with a Mackie subwoofer in the rear of the gymnasium. The amount of people that will be there also matters. When I hung the speakers they were always facing towards the walls and the corners of the room. Sometimes I would even have one facing the floor or the ceiling. Also if able, two subwoofers, one in each corner of the rear is good if you have a very large crowd. Hope this helps<<" [/QUOTE]
