Higher frequencies above the crossover point are typically present - the slope extends outwards at 12dB/octave... maybe 24dB/octave... and rarely 48 or 96dB "brickwall filters", but *even with a filtered signal* harmonic distortion from real loudspeaker drivers will be present several octaves above an input signal, even a sine wave.

I believe that assumption is flawed. 10db is percievedbas 1/2 as loud. So if the issues are 10 db down, that would mean about 1/3 of the percieved sound 8s flawed The freqs are different. Though this example is different, one analogy is to think of a speaker operating at a high level that has a loose dome or slight rubbing of the voice coil or small hole in the cone. Have you ever heard any of those happen? The speaker may be putting out 100db, 110db or whatever, the air leak or rubbing sound will only be a tiny fraction of the sound created, maybe 30 or more dB quiter than the speaker output yet clearly audible. Another example is distortion. We look for gear with a fraction of a % of distortion. Take one speaker and play it at 100 db clean. Place another speaker next to the first speaker and play it 10db down at 90 db with 100% distortion. Would the speaker playing at 90 db with 100% distortion be inaudible?

RGB LED array lights really reveal the issue with arrays : multicolored *shadows*. The way that synthetic phased arrays with frequency and delay dependent processing work with off-axis radiation and reflective surfaces gets ugly, quickly. A lack of clarity mounts up quickly, and "chaotic diffraction" can become an influential effect.

It's quite normal to see dual subwoofers when small bands have purchased a PA-system. And they're more often placed on left and right of the stage under the main speakers. This causes the power alley effect and the bass in the audience is very uneven. I have had this habit of ALWAYS building an end-fire cardioid if I have two subwoofers available. I get as much power as I did, but I'm creating way more even response at the audience while also cleaning up the bass from the stage and reducing the reverberation from back and side walls of the venue since the directionality increases. And with digital mixers of today, that kind of simple PA-processing is easily done so you don't need to have separate processor either. I think everyone should learn to do this kind of basic stuff even if they have two subwoofers :)

Dave, great video’s! Keep them up! But: Isn’t the delayed arc spaced too far apart, which causes the issues? 1/3th wavelength of LPF 80hz is 1,43m. 20m wide / 7 spaces = 2,85m between the subs. When i deploy this setup i would never space the subs more apart than 1/3th wavelength of the LPF. That way, at least they couple up to the LPF. Of course issues still happen at higher freqs and in my experience when i add too much delay the setup will sound like Dave described. But when i’m careful with applying delay, i get good results this way. Note: this only works when i don’t have to cover a very wide field. Then i convert to an L/R (maybe end-fire) setup. Hopefully the next video’s will give even better alternatives!

Next week are deploying an arc delay, end fire set up using D&B infra and V-subs. The house has B-22s that I intended to use for the end fire portion, and I'm curious if you have a recommendation on setting the end fire timing in conjunction with the arc'd V-Subs/infra array. Considering the Infras are cardioid, is there a specific frequency (cross over/-3db response?) That you recommend using to set the end fire timing? So far my approach is to deploy the Infras/V sub array with the outter V subs digitally delayed, and then moving that entire array back (digitally) to the B-22's on stage.

Small rooms in home audio work quite differently because of reflections. I played with bass directivity for awhile, but I couldn't get it to help bass response in my room.

But my results have been excellent!

Hmmm, for home audio, placing a sub or subs in the desired listening positions and then measuring the LF around the room untill you find the desired response, then place the sub or subs there, should work.

This simulation illustrates how a sustained note would cause null points ...assuming no room reflections... in a car the woofer experiences cabin gain... the point where the volume of air in the car acts as a large box. I'm sure this effect would overcome any phase offset issues caused by using multiple drivers, but I swear I could hear the difference, especially when moving my head around the cabin.

Also some math (not too much of course) showing the physics of the changes per octave would make it more real world and less mystical. Aas to going above the cut off frequency, the cut off is a slope so an octave up would still be outputting some energy, the amount determined by the slope. The mid bass speakers would also be putting out energy as part of their crossover so there is that interaction to understand as well. Finally, depending on the drivers themselves, they could be putting out energy due to second harmonics. Thank you for trying to show a complex issue in a simple way.

It's only the same time wise if you're straight in front - if you're right to the side, the physical one the subs arrive at the same time as they would if they were in a straight line or there abouts whereas in the delayed version the one in the middle arrive later

Yes, from in front the outside subs are late with a delayed arc and physical arc. From behind the array the outer subs are closer with a physical arc and still later arrival time with a delayed arc. From above, the physical arc is about the same distance to all subs but with a delayed arc, the outer subs are still late

Hey Dave, most would probably be interested in setups wich are suitable for small indoor venues where the room itself plays a vital role. Do you plan to make any videos about that?
