Point (Some) Of Your Line Array At The Back Wall
Feb 10, 2022I was in rehearsals for a show this past December and the PM came up to me and said, “The rig sounds great, but why in the world are you wasting a quarter of your line array on the back wall?”
’ll show you a design of mine for a real arena show, the results I got in the field, and talk through why in the heck I am “wasting” the top 2.5 boxes on the array.
Today we're talking about line array vertical coverage. We'll answer:
- Why do most line array rigs seem like they’re wasting energy on the back wall?
- How to transition from thinking about individual boxes to composite speakers
- What key data points to look for when deciding how to place, splay, and aim your line arrays
