Hello,

 

Please may I ask your comments on an article I found?

 

I was searching the internet looking for information on line arrays and came across the following web page.

 

http://www.burton-manor.co.uk/Audio/LAthoughts.htm

 

There are a number of other pages on the site that outline designs for line array cabinets as well.

 

I wondered whether other members here know anything about this site and if the information and designs are likely to be any good?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

John.

John,

 

A quick read of their treatment of line array theory suggests that the information is generally true, although it does take a slightly jaded viewpoint at times... There is real science and complex mathematics behind the horn designs, and it's not all smoke and mirrors!

 

I'll have a look at the designs later...

Interesting article. Good find!

 

Obviously it doesn't cover everything but it gives a good insight into what the various manufacturers have been trying to achieve with their various inventions (and copies!). I particularly liked the diagrams of the interference patterns. These clearly illustrate the problems with multiple-speaker setups and demonstrate the effect of frequency on these. As they say a picture really does paint a thousand words...
