[QUOTE="Brandon Wright, post: 115410, member: 2317"] Re: tall skinny speakers Exactly. There are no pro "line arrays" that I know of that utilize line array principles in the high band. The paraline likely does a better job of managing path length and creating a smooth polar response and I'm sure the fixed position within the cabinet helps match the dispersion and splay, but it is not so perfect that the adjacent assemblies don't interfere where their patterns overlap (i.e. lobing). I'm not saying that it isn't an acceptable compromise to get the level required with current driver technology, but let's not kid our selves and call it a single source. I have no doubts that it performs better than a dozen hf waveguides with fixed dispersion angels with varying degrees of splay between boxes (i.e. 12 box "line array" hang), [B]but it could basically be equated to an array of fixed dispersion waveguides with a fixed splay angle all feeding a horn. [/B] I'm absolutely positive that the Jericho horns perform better than an array hang of 12 or more boxes, but it doesn't take much examination of the frequency response and polar plots to see that the smaller boxes are able to maintain a flatter more uniform response due to all of the drivers being acoustically close. Again, my favorite box you guys make right now (in theory, I haven't heard it) is the SH96HO. It sure seems like it could a mini jericho box with all the benefits of the synergy principles. The frequency response appears killer in bi-amped mode. P.S. Ivan do you have a phase trace for the bi-amped version? In closing, do these new Danley products utilizing multiple paraline assemblies create pattern control with cancellation? No Is there some negative interference and lobing where the multiple assemblies overlap within the horn? Yes there would have to be. [B]Does the collective HF system create a single source? No. [/B] Are they still an incredible, useful product? Yes, and right now the large arena market appears to agree with me. Now to start construction on my 3,000 cap club utilizing SH96ho's and dbh218lc. A center hang of 3 SH46HO's would be nice (hint hint:roll:).
