Line Array Layout Question

[sdclc126]

Hello Line Array Fans...

I'm thinking of persuing some kind of open baffle line array design, and I seem to see a couple of distinct approaches -

One is the multiple woofer/single tweeter model, the other is multiples of both. It seems there would be quite a difference in the sound between a line of tweeters and just one in the center.

Can you guys tell me what the relative merits/advantages/disadvantages are of each model, so I can hopefully narrow down the design? If you need more details on my goals please ask.

Thanks!

Dear,

See papper of Jim Griffin http://www.audiodiycentral.com/resource/pdf/nflawp.pdf

In this paper, have answer for all your question and
have most necessary information to construct a Line
Array Speaker to home use.

I finished one, and I have very happy, see at Speakers/Line
Array in http://www.mrweb.com.br/fvm/

Ps. I am a Brazilian and my English is too bad for
write, but I read without problem.

Thanks so much - Mr. Griffin's paper looks like all I'll need - that was easy!!

But others please feel free to chime in - want to hear about similar projects and how you arrived at your final design(s)!
