  Array Sheets      
         
  Theaters   some array examples from theaters I did with Duran Duran.  as usual points are hard to get, steep angle to the top and minimum fly height.  most of the flown arrays are at max mechanical limits.  this is an idea of what looks good on paper and what the results were.  If you can get the flown boxes at zero degrees to shoot up under the balcony u might be ok.  but then the top angle is probably impossible.

if u see minimal notes on the sheets they are most like left over from the day before. the trim for the array was usually at the max allowed in that theater

Good luck

  
         
  Riverside Theater   20050319 Duran WI Milwaukee  
      Example of how it looked ok on paper but just didn't work out at all

Mix was at rear under balcony, high end didn't get there at all.  ended up flying 2 Q7's off front of balcony to get something to the back

missed rear of top balcony also

good example of how flying everything just dosen't always work. Also didn't adjust sheet for ear level, which most likely didn't help the situitation.

  
         
         
  Louisville Palace Theater   20050320 Duran KY Lousiville  
      Used both Flown and stacked array here

high end quite a bit hotter at mix site which was at rear of room under balcony. guessing it was from compression of sound under the balcony

Top balcony looked ok on sheet but high end really didn't get to top once audience was in

  
         
  Cincinnati Music Hall   20050326 Duran OH Cincinnati  
      Used both Flown and stacked array here

Flown system was behind the arch, about 40ft apart, ground stack was out on wings

Mix site just in front of balcony edge

covered well overall and high end made it to rear of floor and 1st balcony without a problem.top balcony sounded distant even when up close to cabinets.
