[QUOTE="Greg Huber, post: 8004, member: 4800"] Hi all - I work at a club with an installed line array. The cabinets are non-symmetrical (6" MF on the left, HF in the middle, 12" LF on the right when viewed from the front.) The install was flown so that the cabinets are flown the same - not as a mirror image. This put a 12" LF onstage on one side and a 6" MF onstage on the other side. The room is not symmetrical, and the two sides do not sound quite the same from FOH. Nothing is blown or out of phase. I think this hang is part of the reason. The cabinets are designed to be flown both ways; the can definitely be inverted - the manufacturers logo appears on the grille top and bottom both ways, so you can still read one of the logos if it's flown "upside down". I am concerned and almost convinced the install should have been flown with one side inverted. This would make a mic on center stage react to the same components equally because they are equidistant, and get me more MF onto the center floor or the room for better vocal intelligibility. It would also help my stereo imagining at FOH. The array is dead hung, no motors, so it will be a good afternoons task. There are 8 cabinets per side, and I don't think cabling will be an issue. What's the forum's consensus? I've talked to the manufacturer and they are looking into it. My friend who mixes at a theatre across the street has a 12 box per side rig of the same cabinet, and his ARE inverted...and the manufacturer did his install after mine! Thanks, Greg [/QUOTE]
