If you don't like the power alley that results from uncoupled subwoofer arrays and you do have six or more subs and enough real estate, you can try a compromised approach by aiming the left and right energy away from the center, improving isolation and lowering variance across the audience. I should make it clear that the result appears to reduce the power alley only in contrast to the rest of the audience. There is still interaction in the middle, it's just lower in level compared to … [Read more...]
How do you calculate cardioid subwoofer spacing? (gradient array)
First, the wrong way: forward maximum summation using geometric mean. ¼c/(√(F1 * F2)) It works, but it's not the most efficient method. After a discussion with Merlijn van Veen I learned to space the gradient subwoofer array (commonly known as a cardioid array) using arithmetic mean to match the region of greatest summation to the operating range. Now, the right way: forward maximum summation across the entire operating range. Find the center of the operating range using arithmetic … [Read more...]
