[QUOTE="Paul Johnson, post: 217719, member: 2643"] Is this crazy project some kind of bizarre college thing? Anyway, confirm something please. In the plan view the speakers are facing out of a circle, so the audience are outside that circle, like maybe in a football stadium with centre stage in the middle of the pitch? In the other drawings they all face one way. One way is viable, and has been done for years, albeit with fewer hangs than yours. Audio in the round is conventionally mono because left and right has no meaning. One persons right is someones else’s right. Theatre in the round has had this question floated for years. Localisation of things like sound effects works when audiences are close in as angles change over greater ranges. With a stadium size install, left to right moves of just a few degrees are too small for effect, so it’s mono. If your speakers do all face the same way, rather than out, it will be a spectacular mess. Dozens of sources with multiples covering every area. Scale is tricky in your plans, but nobody will get a single path to a speaker, so I can’t see any way for delays to align. If the area is football pitch scaled, then if you made sure each area was only covered from one source, or had considerable volume from one source and much less from the adjacent ones it could work. If the audience all can visually see the face of each hang, you are sunk. always best to detail your context. Is this real? It seems to mean indoors, or else hanging will be a killer, and indoors with reflections …… what on earth is the point? [/QUOTE]
