[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 71975, member: 4"] Re: Trap Boxes? George, I agree. Line arrays as we are familiar with them may appear to behave as though they lose energy at the 3dB per doubling distance rate up close, but that is only because as you step back from the array you come in to the pattern of more drivers. Nothing at any point is behaving any differently from any array of point sources (think: subwoofer arrays). This effect becomes clear once you're far enough away that you're more or less on axis from all elements (maybe 4x array length) and the sound clearly begins to fall off at the 6dB/octave rate. Of course the magic of a line array is handling well all those elements acting in concert over such an enormous bandwidth, and being able to aim the majority of the energy at the back of the audience (especially in the HF, on both accounts).
