[QUOTE="Ales Dravinec, post: 50690, member: 11"] Re: Monitor Horn Dispersion; 90x40 or 40x90 settings? Matt, If I read monitors model numbers correctly, you are talking about dB Technologies range. I looked them up : They have horizontally oriented HF and LF unit when used in wedge position. Due to driver spacing in horizontal plane and the fact that performers ears are horizontally 'oriented' too, ANY wedge with this configuration will provide less then sufficient sonic result, regardless of HF horn pattern orientation. To test this, improvise and try to set up wedges in such way that drivers will be oriented vertically. Then and only then any discussion about HF horn orientation will become relevant. Good intelegibility and good gain before feedback level, when talking wedges, has everything to do EXCLUSIVELY with phase coherence. Later is non existent in Horizontally oriented wedges, regardless of make or model. Do not confuse this with some (RARE !!) good MTM designs. Coaxials almost by definition work better even if they cost a fraction of what 'others' cost. I hope this helps. With utmost respect [/QUOTE]
