I think we decided in 2 directions. The barn is to the right of the house and back a ways. The road is parallel to the barn and the house. So, we are thinking one speaker aimed at the road and another aim to the left at 90 degrees ( if facing the front of the barn ).
I have been talking in PM's here with Jerome Malsack who has helped me figure out what I think I am going to do.. to a degree.
Here are my thoughts:
Amp - JBL CSA2120 2x120 Watt Power Amplifier
Speakers - 2 - Atlas Sound DR-32 95 Uniform Coverage Horns
Drivers - 2 - Atlas Sound PD60A 60W Compression Drivers
I have MP3s I think can use to generate the bells. The only remaining pieces are the PC items.
Jerome mentioned that the Amp has no fan, which in a barn would be good. Barns tend to be dusty and a fan would likely suck in a lot of dust.
So, the same being said for the PC.. I was thinking a bout using a Raspberry Pi for the PC part. If I could find the software for it that would allow me to schedule the MP3s by time, that would be great.
So I am searching...
Any suggestions on this plan so far?
Thanks!
Would that be 1000' in all directions or is one general direction (ie: towards the house) acceptable for this application?
