Worth Reading

So it was a replay? It sounded familiar but I was remembering the array article.

Some of the other repeats have been pretty weak content wise.

Edit - it is a reprint of a 2010 article. I wish they wouldn't put new dates on old stuff.

Nice article Bennett. It's written in a way that even those not well versed in the field can understand it.

Do you have an update on your "Quick and Dirty Sound System" ?
 
Re: Worth Reading

I appreciate this is resurrecting an old thread, but I'm sure I'm not the only person here who would like to here real-world reports with results of members who have tried to implement both/either of this one and Bennett's subsequent sub-array article, with particular reference to JV-scale smaller rigs/arrays.

All the detailed bass-steering array reports tend towards the higher end rigs, but it would be very interesting to hear how folks have experimented within the limits of small systems - i.e. to see what benefits could be available beyond the simple choice of L/R vs centre/side single clusters.

I'm curious as well, but I think the reason you don't hear about it at the lower levels as much is because it takes twice the hardware to get that cancellation and you don't get any real benefit out front. whereas if you take the same pile of hardware and just line it up it'll be louder out front..

I am not one to feel a need to wring every last db from the subs. I have done this with 2 hpr181 using one input and two outputs of my 4x8 sabine navigator.

It works well if you accept it is a bit frequency specific.
 
Re: Worth Reading

I had great success with a cardioid sub set-up, or at least the engineer that mixed said it worked brilliantly. I wasn't able to be at the show because of another festival I was doing. His only complaint was that the subs were dancing a little and that he kept having to straighten them up. Having single 18" light weight boxes is great except for that one issue.

Has anyone ever experimented with building a frame for them to lay in? I'm getting ready to re-build the cabinets and was thinking about building some rigging points into them so I could bolt a piece of flat iron slat to the sides to keep them as one unit using some eyebolts from my rigging kit. They aren't heavy enough to stay still! I considered building a frame for them to sit in, but I think it would create noise and extra wight (especially if it were made of a durable metal).
