Re: Yet another sub array question
It all depends on how limited your limited DSP is.
Cardioid patterns give you the most 'loss', in the sense that they use a lot of boxes/amps/dsp to change the pattern without providing more volume for your audience. Cardioid can be very useful, although in a typical gig (by gig, i mean band on a stage, audience out front, very simple production) it only really serves to change the amount of sub energy onstage, which you may or may not care about in reality
Again, with delayed arc deployments, these serve to overcome the natural narrowing of coverage in the horizontal when you use broadside arrays. With a space thats 150' * 300', these might actually be quite desirable...
