[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 58938, member: 30"] Re: SH-50 array eq. The reason is that the SH 50 ( and other danley products) work by generating a single source-ie a TRUE point source-NOT the box that are called "point sources-simply be3cause they are not a line array. So when you put one of top of another-you only have 2 sources of sound. If you take a "typical box" that has offset drivers producing 3 different origions of sound-then add another one on top-you have all sorts of different sources of sound-hence the sound quality going down. What I have found out is that when you stack the Danley products and then listen-it sound really good with no "issues". When you turn the other box off-the sound level drops-obviously-and the sound gets a tad bit clearer. Not that the other sound bad by any means-not not as clear as a single cabinet. However when you array them side by side-swith the side walls touching-and then you turn one off (assuming it is the one you are NOT listening to)- all you notice is that the bass is lower in level. This is because the horn is not large enough to provide a lot of control over the bass freq-so they are summing together. But becasue they are so close to each other-there is no interference. Now this is outside without reflections. Of course inside when you turn off one box you will hear the reflections of the other cabinet in the room diminish. Nobody (at least nobody who knows any better) will disagree that a single box will always sound better (sound quality-not quantity) than multiples-of any box type. The problem has been that in many cases a single cabinet will not get loud enough or cover enough area to do the job properly. It doesn't matter how good it sounds-if you can't hear it. That is the reason we have been working on the very high output boxes-that still sound like our smaller boxes. When you get 1000' or more away-it gets hard to get any kind of decent level-so you end up "piling up" boxes to get the level up-and then the sound quality goes down-but at least it can be heard. So why not have it sound better at the same time-this means without the interference of the multiple cabinets. That's the concept-with more on the way. [/QUOTE]
