Re: Speaker Splaying - the definitive guide...
If the pattern is actually 60x40 is the first question. In many cases it is simply a number that describes the pattern at some freq. Above and belwo that freq-the pattern is usually different.
Some horns are better than others.
The size of the horn determines it ability to maintain that coverage pattern to a decently low freq. Small horns only maintain their pattern at the higher freq. Usually above 2K or so.
But let's assume a perfect world and the pattern is 60 wide. Then the angle between the CENTER line of the cabinets should be 60°. The angle between the sides would depend on a lot of different factors.
As Brad said-ask the manufacturer and see what they recommend.
The real question in regards to combfiltering, is where do you want to minimize it? In the higher freq? or in the critical vocal range where we understand what is being sung?
Very often those are 2 different things and you have to choose which is more important.
