Last night I did a show at the Munich Philharmonie.  The venue has left and right arrays consisting of 4 Meyer M2D and 5 M1D per side and a center hang of 8 M1D.  I was given Galileo control, and noticed that their delay times were quite odd. 


Left / Right:

Top 2 M2D 3.58 ms

Bottom 2 M2D 3.08 ms

Top 2 M1D 3.58 ms

Bottom 3 M1D 3.08 ms


Center:

Top 4 M1D 4.58 ms

Bottom 4 M1D 4.08 ms


This may be slightly off, as I just jotted the times down in case I wanted to go back to them, but the point is that they had sections of the same hang delayed differently.  I have seen Meyer arrays with different eq on sections, and this is sanctioned by Meyer, but I could not wrap my head around why you would want to delay different sections of the array differently.  I set the l/r delay times to 0 and delayed everything else to that.  It sounded better to my ears.


Can anyone explain why you would want to delay things as they have?
