What to do with those RS150's?

cross 'em low . . .

1600 Hz. LR4. Get off the cone before the distortion starts to rise.

They work well that way with the RS28a . . .

What are you thinking about building Rick ? Sounds like you might be hinting that you might have something in the works?

good god man!

i'm overwhelmed in fear and awe.

speechless.

Actually I just found a better way to link the picture. What do you think?

Do these have to deal with Marshall Kay?

I hope you post more pictures and info on those as the project progresses.

I think it's a live array...

no, no, no: not "alive"...



...an array for live musical performance.

Did I win?

Yes - how did you know?

You're always a winner Dave! We've already hung three smaller arrays for choir monitors and there are three of these monsters as well for the worship center. The acoustics guys are anxious to hear the results because what we are doing is different from any other commercial array on the market.

Impressive. :T

I thought you were going to use the truncated frame version? Was that another project or did they not work out?

Re: What to do with those RS150's?

I am in awe.. Those will be stunning.

How do you wire something like that? Seires-parallel? Do you use any passive x-over components and what do you use? I have never delt with a line array, nevermind one of that size... and am chomping at the bit to know more. ALso, the arc of them, I am assuming unpurpose for dispirsion, but is there a general rule of thumb, or is it planned per venue? Please advise and I apologize for the seemingly elementry questions.

I'll try to add more pictures when the speakers are loaded. Feel free to ask any questions that you may have.

Yes, it's the truncated frame version. The flat edge is in the vertical direction in order to keep the spacing tight along the length of the line.

Series-parallel wiring to achieve the impedance that you want and also for adjusting the output in each section of the line. In order to meet a tight budget we are doing a combination of active crossovers and resistive dividers with a minimal amount of amp channels.

This is for a church seating about 1,000 so the design objectives are of course different than what you would do at home. The number of drivers were chosen to achieve the coverage and output capability that we needed. The arc along with the resistive dividers is part of the CBT arrangement by Don Keele. This allows you to contol the beamwidth to meet the needs of the room so that the audience can enjoy smooth response across a large area. It also minimizes reflections from the ceiling and reduces output near the stage to contol feedback.
