Where would you suggest I place my mic to align this ''cluster''?
I want to get the best sub/horn alignment I can

Re: Where do I place the mic?
It should be pointed out that there are no ''subs'' to align WITH in this cluster.
You're looking at no more than sixteen fifteen inch speakers in those big horn loaded
low, but not TOO low, frequency boxes.
Looks like a nice payday in the distant past for an Altec contractor. Also looks like getting the fundamental speech frequencies EVERYWHERE in the venue was the prime directive

Re: Where do I place the mic?
True-they are more of a bass cabinet-rather than a sub.
Of course an old saying is that it is better to have LOTS of combfiltering-rather than a few bad spots.
Like laying on a bed of nails-2 really hurts- a couple hundred is not so bad-Yes I know as I had to lay on a real bed of nails back in HS for a haunted house. Not to bad untill passers by would turn the crank on the WORKING stretch rack I was also hooked up to

Looks to me like they were going for ''one HF cell per party of six'' in this installation

Part that out and sell it to the audiophile folks, and it'll pay for a new Danley cluster hanging there as an upgrade.

Nah-it kinda violates the ''single point source'' idea.
But I guess it depends on how big the ''point'' is.

Hey Ivan, how much do you think that beast weighed? Looks as though it could be a few TONS!

Re: Where do I place the mic?
Depending on the drivers on those horns-it could weigh quite a bit. IF they are the 288's then it would be quite heavy.
The bass cabinets are not all that heavy-mostly air.
Agreed it could be a ton or more.

What did ''Big Bertha'' sound like.
I can just picture the racks of green amps!
If that is coming down parting it out would be worth the time.
