Re: Outdoor Surround Sound System
Pardon my ignorance, but how do movie theaters get away with surrounds (other than a high mounting position)? There are theaters in the 100 foot range dimension-wise...with seats wall-to-wall...although I will have to say, I am no fan of sitting near the side-walls....the surround speakers do intru...

Re: Outdoor Surround Sound System
As far as my screen dilemma, I first looked into the inflatable screens. They seem to have the advantages of being light and portable, but they became very expensive as they become larger. I also came across another kind of mesh screen material on line. The claim was that the mesh holes were large ...

Re: new to the forum and speakers and all that - theatre sound?
I'm think right now I'll just order plans for the Jack and the Omni 12 and maybe the Omni 12 PA top. Those seem like the right balance of construction difficulty and size at least to start off with.

Re: new to the forum and speakers and all that - theatre sound?
Trying to read between the lines here, but it sounds like you are not looking for wide dispersion. I do S&L for stage dance performance, but this does not involve miked actors/performers in motion. In the past where have your cabs been positioned? There is no one answer I can give. I work in al...

Re: Newbie avid woodworker neophile at audio equip
For a balanced sound, 1:1 ratio for either, depending on the width of the subs. I would build as wide as storage/transportation allows, using cardboard mock-ups to determine the space needed.
