[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 48940, member: 30"] Re: What are good choices for mains that stand alone well and array nicely? The problem that most people overlook with "rotatable" horns is that the horns are often very small (at least compared to the size they should be). So yes you can rotate the horn-but how much will the actual pattern change-vs the freq. So only the high freq will be affected by flipping the horn. So assuming a 40° pattern on a horn that is 15" wide (which is probably larger than most horns that are "rotateable" -in the 40° side, the pattern control will be affected down to around 1600Hz. As the size of the horn get smaller the effective freq goes up. So probably in most cases the effective freq is 2-3Khz (or higher). So what people "think" is happening is not really what is happening-at least over as wide a freq range as they would like to think. [/QUOTE]
