[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 50689, member: 30"] Re: Monitor Horn Dispersion; 90x40 or 40x90 settings? The bigger question is-HOW large is the horn-in each of dimensions of the pattern? The reason is that unless the horn has a large size (especially in the narrow pattern), it is not going to really make any difference-especially in the critical vocal range. Sure it will make a difference up high (say above 4Khz), but down lower you may find that the ACTUAL pattern that comes out of the horn is exactly opposite what you would expect (at some freq). For example: Below is the MEASURED polar response of a fairly large horn that is rated at 50 wide x 90 tall. It is 12" in the 50 pattern and 22" in the 90 pattern-so it would be considered VERY large for a horn in a monitor. Notice how the pattern at 5Khz is completely opposite the pattern at 500Hz. So what is the pattern? You could argue either one-but they opposite. With smaller horns-this will happen at higher freq. When talking audio-size matters [/QUOTE]
