it would, but for two reasons: * single line array elements usually suck, for the reasons you mentioned - worse than loss of directivity is crappy sound :( * the array i have access to is passive, i.e. we simply lack the required number of amp channels. but you're right, if i ever get hold of a pile of active line array elements that don't fall to pieces when separated from their friends, i might try a really loud higher order system :-D cheers, jörn -- Jörn Nettingsmeier Lortzingstr. 11, 45128 Essen, Tel. +49 177 7937487 Meister für Veranstaltungstechnik (Bühne/Studio), Elektrofachkraft Audio and event engineer - Ambisonic surround recordings http://stackingdwarves.net _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
