Re: SH-50 array eq.



Part of the "magic" of the Danley designs is that because the sound starts out as a true single source-it hods together much better at a distance-than sound that starts out as seperate sources.


It is quite amazing to me to be at long distances 300-500M (not feet) away and it sound as if the vocals are 5-10M away.  Truly "in your face".


Since the SH50 has a large horn-and the pattern is very consistant within the coverage pattern of the horn, when you get out of the pattern-the level drops VERY rapidly.  It doesn't start to falloff in the highs-then the mids and then the lows as you walk the pattern.  It is all there-and then it isn't (or greatly reduced anyway).


So as you would get close-you would only be hearing one box-at least from around 300Hz or so and up.  The bass would still be equally heard out of both boxes-but at that point-the subs are probably overpowering you anyway.
