Hi,
I am in the design phase of building a line array. Its an active 2 way active system (with separate subwoofer crossed at 120hz).
Line height 60". Mid drivers are 2" full rangers and tweeters are Dayton ND20FA.
I have two choces :-
a) A line of 2" mids tightly placed covering floor to 60" with a smaller line of 20 ND20FA centered vertically.
b) A line of 2" mids covering floor to 60". Just one 20 ND20FA centered vertically.
How do the two designs compare given that extended range of the mids easlily allow a crossover as high as 6Khz?
More specifically, I need to know whether there is a good reason to have a line of tweeters above 6 Khz as in a) or can I get away with b) without any noticable difference.
I intend to listen by sitting at one place so the different attenutation rate of tweeter and mid in case of b) does not bother me.
Thanks in advance,
Goldy
