[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 71953, member: 30"] Re: Trap Boxes? That is one of the "fantasies" goes around-that is pretty much false. I have done quite a number of demos/shootouts that totally disprove the "3dB/doubling distance vs 6dB/doubling" theory. If that were true, and the levels were matched up close-how come the line arrays ARE NOT waayyyy louder at a distance? In fact-very often the complete opposite is true. The point source (a good one anyway-not one that calls itself a "point source" yet has lots of interference) is at least equal in loudness (sometimes louder) and waaay clearer. When you are talking about "perfect sources"-yes the theory will apply. HOWEVER nobody is making perfect sources (of either type), so in reality the products AVAILABLE (both point source and line array) are NOT behaving as the theory states. Side by side tests can be VERY reveling. [/QUOTE]
