[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 115342, member: 30"] Re: tall skinny speakers The SBH10 is NOT a line array. It is a horn (the SHB stands for Skinny Big Horn). Or at least it acts like a horn and not like a line array-which has all sorts of interference patterns/lobes etc. While it does not have the gain that would come from a horn that would exhibit the same pattern control-it does have the pattern of a horn that is around 27' deep. It is kinda hard to install a horn that size in many rooms--------------------------- It just looks like a standard column. We can easily change the horizontal pattern by narrowing the angle of the horn in front of the drivers. Of course as you narrow the coverage the horn mouth has to get larger-which means the cabinet will have to get deeper. At least to maintain the same control. Some people care about that-others don't--------------------------------- You can't do that with any of the other products out there. Their horizontal is what it is (and can vary wildly with freq) and there is nothing you can do about it. [/QUOTE]
