Please tell, me if this is correct:
A line array is a series of individual drivers mounted vertically creating a Radiation patters that helps eliminate wall, floor and ceiling reflections by projecting an large vertical enhanced beam pattern
A line source is an elongated planer driver with a large radiating surface that radiates in a pattern different that a line array,
So due to different radiation pattern of the two designs are not well suited mated together. As in the combination of: a line array with eight vertical 5-1/4” mid bass drivers mated with a set of Maggies crossed at 2500 Hz.?
The reason for the question is I am working on a line array with 8 high qualities mid bass drivers per side, which I own. But my funding for the ribbon tweeters section is close to being depletes. I wanted to use the Fountek NEO CD2.0 at $ 120 each. I would have needed 12 of these units, but now I have to lower my budget, and was just looking on E-Bay and saw the Maggies, and thought what if?
