When using two per side are you guys following the box angles or how are you finding you should splay the boxes? Seems pretty extreme if filling box angle. Trying out two per side outside on the 4th, I'll play with it but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions based on trial and error.
Thanks!
The Sm80s don't array as well as the other arrayable Danley products.
It was designed/intended as a stand alone box.
Yes it is cut at the proper angle (40*), but due to the driver used, you physically can't get the drivers close enough together (with relation to wavelength) to have a really nice smooth coverage.
It was also cut on an angle to reduce the size/weight and to keep the back volume small for a sealed box that has a gentle rolloff.
What I have found by playing with them arrayed and listening (I have not played in the Direct modeling with them) is to have the fronts touching and the back kicked apart a little.
About a vertical fists worth of distance is a good starting point-around 3"
This is opposite of what you do with other boxes that are not cut at the correct splay angle.
What you end up doing is creating an overlap in the patterns. So the overall coverage will be less than the 160*
Yes you can hear it with noise, but I doubt many people will hear it with music.
It is all a matter of compromise
