I thought I'd start a little build thread on a pair of corner arrays I'm going to build using the Peerless TC9FD18-08's.
By low brow, I mean to describe the lack of sophistication of this build.
That I am not a measurement and graph guru like most of the other line array builders appear to be on this forum.
Also the degree of craftsmanship and quality (both in labor and material) of most of the array builds Ive seen is a much higher level than I can achieve (or care to invest the time in).
Its more of an experiment, like some folks using foam-board, but ill use MDF.
Ive long wanted to try my ear at a full length (room height) array.
The decision to corner build is mostly because I have them.
I use corner horns now, and I love the lack of what I perceive (subjectively) as less early reflections, as compared to tower speakers out in the room.
This build is not a desire to replace my corner horns, its a desire to finally hear a full length array. I certainly do not expect them to play as loud or have near the dynamics. Just a different flavor (hopefully good).
Ive attached a pic of the room (basement) where they'll go, and pics of the 60 little TC9 drivers that just arrived.
The room is 14'.5 wide x 28' long x 8'8" high.
The entire ceiling is un-finished, with ultra touch (cotton) insulation showing, so I may have to install a triangle of sheathing above each array in the ceiling corner to get some of the benefits of a floor to ceiling array, but Ill try it without first.
