First of all, don't know if this belongs here or in the fullrange forum. Using fullrange drivers but not playing all of them FR. (Technically a series 1.5 way?)
I have played around with XSim lately, and came up with a line array with a stepped baffle. Half the drivers playing fullrange, and half low passed at something like 5k hz(?).
The drivers stay in phase up to 6k hz, and at that point there's a ~7.5db diff between them.
Didn't use any driver data as this is kind of just hypothetical. Used 8 drivers in the circuit just to get the right impedance.
Pros and cons of doing something like this? Time smear? Comb filtering? Smaller difference in critical distance between low and high frequencies.
(2^2 * 3000hz)/700 = 17.14m
(1^2 * 12000hz)/700 = 17.14m
