Re: Amp for 4pi speakers
The flanking subs did exactly what I would have expected, which was to reduce 15dB ripple in the 100-200Hz region to 6dB ripple. That's a "textbook case" of what to expect. Flanking subs can smooth the range a little lower than 100Hz - usua...

It looks like you've done a very good job already, and I have no doubt you'll tweak your system further to make it even better still. Congratulations! You're "working with what you've got," which is what 90% of us have to do. High-qualit...

Amp for 4pi speakers
Hello Thanks to Wayne, I've built a set of 4pi speakers a few years ago. However, the room acoustics of our living room are far from ideal. We have an L-shaped room and this is the best aesthetic speaker setup: The 4pi speakers aren't toed-in, ...

Re: The shape of the room
The ideal room is outdoors, because there are no walls or ceiling to act as reflectors. Obviously, that's not an option so next best thing would be a very large, well-damped room having randomly contoured walls with no large flat surfaces. That's proba...

Re: The shape of the room
Square rooms aren't good because room modes are strong. You would definitely benefit from multisubs - in any small room actually - but even more so if the room is square.

Re: Sound for small gym
Room modes are less a problem in large rooms. The bigger problem in gymnasiums is the hard, reflective surfaces on all sides. It makes a midrange reflection problem, and a lot of echo. The directivity of the speakers will help, and that's sometimes as...

I am providing the sound system for a fall festival/dance we are having in our school gym. The gym is fairly small and there is only about 5 feet of space beyond basketball court to the block walls. Will be setting up in the narrower side under the baske...

Re: Two Subwoofers
Outside and inside are very different. Outside, you want all sources to combine coherently. This means you want sound sources grouped together, and their acoustic centers aligned. When two subs are placed at each ends of a stage, bass suffers from...
