Members dboomer Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I don't know of a spec you can look up. You can measure it. The other thing to point out is that in your example ... side by sdie speakers ... the most comb filtering effect is in the horizontal plane but the vertical probably remains as unaffected as it can be. So this would be a proper setup if projecting to balconies was concerned. Here's another reason that a single speaker solution is often better than adding boxes together.

Members Dogoth Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Another point about comb filtering that hasn't been covered (although it's been touched upon) is that in an environment with a lot of hard surfaces, sometimes the phase problems from reflections can be worse than those from L&R speakers combining. In an acousticly perfect environment (we all work in those every day right? :>) there will still always only be one sweet spot. Just as long as the rest isn't sour, be happy. A 10Khz half wave is just over 1/2" so if you move your head a few inches one way or another what happens? Think about it. In the end, if it sounds good, it is good :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is this somethign that one can read from Spec's or only avail with practical experience with a speaker?T Practical experience and trial/error measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bugzie Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 What would be better when using 2-90 degree boxes, side by side or one stacked on top of the other with the top box upside down so that the horns would be closer together? The reason I ask is that I often do a band that has a keyboard player with a good amount of talent (great fella to work with) I run a dual mono setup and when I do pan him to 10 and 2 oclock, the stack seems to carry the effects that he uses (B3 emulator) much better. I always wonder if its just my old ears. Its even more noticeable outside. My boxes are 70 degree, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 If covering the same area, I usually prefer the horns stacked. It MAY change the direction of the comb filtering and lobing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Chinese Posted February 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I guess the reason I'm asking all this is that I'm trying to decide whether or not to get rid of my LA325's in favor of some more arrayable systems. Economically, I would very much like to keep the LA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
