Hi Friends,
I am making a Line Array with coaxial drivers. I just want suggestions on driver placement. I have attached 2 images ( placement 1 & placement 2)
With my limited knowledge i am sure many of us will agree that placement 2 is a clear "NO", but i need to know the reason behind that. I will be thankful if someone can explain me regarding this.
Regards,
Sadik

tweeters are forced to be far apart
if you remove tweeters from the coaxes, and place them very close to each other to make short line array, next to longer array of mid drivers, that would be acceptable
otherwise only very small fullrange drivers will do

It doesn't matter. For a same size none coaxial, the high frequencies are generated around the center of the driver anyways. It's almost only the voice coil that emits above 10k.

true, for the same size
but I was talking about totally different stuff
imagine that you have 5" coax with 3/4" tweeter
if you make line array of coaxes, tweeter will be spaced out 5"+ the gap between drivers
if you make line array of tweeters, you can space them out as close as possible, maybe 1"
and that makes big difference on comb filtering

This Line Array will be used in PA. Each Driver Size is 8 Inch with RMS power of 150 watts each @ 8 ohms. A total of 20 enclosures will be made. Each enclosure will have 4 Nos coaxial Drivers.
What is your knowledge of directivity/dispersion in the PA domain? In other words, why do you want a line array, what are your design objectives? And how are you going to amplify and X-over things?

This is what I need to understand.

The line array is for Music Event for Big Stadiums, A Music Concert type. I will be using active crossover and individual Amplifier will be used for Highs and Mids.

This will be woefully inadequate to say the least. Consult with diyAudio member simon7000
and buy commercial product instead. A rocky road ahead, indeed.
