Re: Reasonably Priced Large Format Line Arrays
Electro Voice and a few other companies used to show distortion charts on drivers.
Like a frequency response curve, the end user can determine whether the distortion at "X" level is acceptable, and compare the curves.
Unfortunately, even EV's distortion specs were at a level far below (more than 10 dB below) the rated input level.
Advances in materials have pushed the power handling on many drivers to four times higher than when distortion curves were available, seems distortion specifications at rated power are not available any more, as they would be an embarrassment.
