Hey, Shane...

How 'bout an update - huh, pretty please?

It looks like we will do some work on this right after Thanksgiving.
I did a mock-up and it looks like 3 speakers is the ticket. We will start by disconnecting 1 speaker in the center and see what it sounds like. we did this before but I was not listening for good sound I was only listening for phase.

That was my bad.

I will also post more pics when we do this so you can get a good idea of what the room looks like.
Thanks for asking Bo

Ok then, the fourth speaker that you "don't need...."

....I'll pay freight, send it to me so it will have a loving home of coddling and cuddling.

It will probably end up being a monitor or somthing like that. But I would have to say that if it does not have a home when I am done then it would end up a my house

I'll trade you my precision-crafted origami model for it....

We were upended after trying to get this done. Lots of things have changed except the speakers.
Finding time to do this has been a problem as well as getting people to relinquish there time in the sanctuary.
Updates as of late.


1) New Yamaha M7CL (WOW big sound quality diff)
2) all in-ear monitors in use
3) new construction to the building going to start in May. No changes to the sanctuary but we might be able to change some things.
4) still have to do things in a "during the week" time frame.

I will get lots of pics, dimensions. Maybe we can find the optimum configuration. May get a chance to pull the screens this week sometime, take good measurements and pics.


Thanks for all who have helped me in the past!!

Also one other thing.

Would it be a good idea to fly the subs? 2 2242's.

When on the floor they can be to loud for the people in the front.
We normaly run the system at about 85 to 90db.



Maybe one of our Moderators could change my spelling mistake of the title?

Yes, Shane that is commonly done.

Depending upon the depth of the hang you can accomodate, they are usually flown highest, above the mains. Or, you could fly them high, but behind the mains. By flying them, they will be in acoustic phase with the mains so that will alleviate having to sort that out.

Flying the subs you will loose some overall output from the lack of the boundary effect of the floor wall ect. Not necessary a big issue for you it sounds like you have more advantages from flying them. It will just feel/sound a little different at first from what you have been used to.
Are the sub cabinets flyable, proper track, suspension points ect.

Sweet!

j/k

I'm no SR Pro but Doug says the 2242H's are flown in large multiples to gain mutual coupling. Just two might not do what you think they ought to do. I would imagine just two would like some boundary reinforcement. Otherwise you might end up EQ'ing the crap out of them and blowing them up. Maybe stick them real close together and fire them in an arc.

Oh, stick them up near the ceiling then.

Note that I didn't read through this thread and don't remember anything about it so I have no idea what the size of your venue is.

After going back a refreshing myself from the start of this post a couple things jumped out at me. I mentioned this back a ways but you had mentioned the amps being in mono. Is/was that the switch by the input levels that is either dual or mono or was it the switch by the input connectors that is the "Y" switch. If the dual / mono switch is in mono the amp is in bridge mono operation, only input #1 is used and the output is from both of the + outputs only with Ch.1 being + and Ch.2 acting as -. However....you can still use each set of outputs independently if you connect the + lead to the - terminal and the - lead to the + terminal only on Ch.2 output. This will correct the polarity flip that takes place on Ch. 2 in the bridged mono mode. Channel 1 is the only input to connect to when in mono operation. The "Y" switch is just a jumper that ties both inputs together as if you connected a "Y" cable to the amps inputs. One input signal feeds both amp channels. The dual / mono switch would be the dual position if using the "Y" switch.

The woofer delay should be .416ms, with 416ms delay on the woofer that would be one strange sounding speaker or a very large cabinet with really long mid range and hi frequency horns!
