It is common with small line arrays.
Thank you for the honest reply.
I was hoping that maybe being OB, there might be a wider area without the loss, but physics rule.
🙂
And you have a little Roland e-drum kit to play with. Do you play along with the music? 🙂
I also have a set of e-drums, DIY, but I mostly play VST like Superior Drummer now, and playing with headphones.

Cool.....😎
Not really a drummer, but I enjoy the therapy of hitting things!
I am a bit better with guitar 😉

I'm more of a drummer than a guitar player.
Too many strings on a guitar for me, but I got my hands on an electric Ukulele, and it's been hours and hours of fun! Especially with the virtual guitar rigs available these days
This little thing brings me (almost) the same smile as listening to great music... And I'm really not great at playing... just an enthusiast, I would call myself! 🙂

Sorry for the side step.
I guess we should go back to "Ultimate Open Baffle Gallery".
Enjoy your setup, k9.

I'm having a blast playing 80's style music, adding some flanger and reverb.
They do have bass ukulele that look so much FUN!
I have to try and refrain myself from the "Buy now" button when I see one....

Yes ob line arrays!!!!!!!
Depends on the room. If you do go full on ob line array make sure your bass array has enough to get you there and you won't be disappointed.
The tonality changes a bit but if you have a long room it makes up for it in more even coverage overall. I'm very happy with ob line arrays VS sealed line array but they were drastically different builds
Hah.....saw that today too!
You will be pleased to know I have ordered some W8-1772's 🙂
Pretty weak xmax though at only 11 mm. The smaller 18" Dayton Ultimax UM18 has 40% more volume displacement.
Hi! Nice build... I didn-t understant exactly what are the "PT-minis". This is still your current setup? What are the crossover points? Thank you!
Thanks! This is still my current setup. I'm really enjoying this one. I still have to run a bunch more measurements but time is short right now. The crossover points are around 325hz and 8khz. The PTmini’s are small tweeters.
Dayton Audio PTMini-6 Planar Tweeter 6 Ohm
I have a long room, but I listen on the wide side, speakers are at about 1/3 on the long wall.
I don't think I could go with a bunch of 15", wife would kill me. I was thinking about the SBA 5x8" racetrack woofer. I have it in my MLTL, and in an OB built as well. They don't go crazy low by themselves, but they can take a lot of EQ down below without breaking a sweat.
I'm not sure... I can't get the Sd needed for low end in this room so I need to think of a way.
My Active OB System
I have been thinking about this design for some time (too long?) and I finally built it. I wanted to go active on my primary system that I use for TV and music. It is a 4 way system - subwoofer to 100 hz; woofer from 100 hz to 400 hz; mid-range from 400 hz to 2000 hz and tweeter above 2000 hz.
I have the following drivers:
o BIC F-12 Subwoofer
o Eminence 3012 Kappalite LF (I luv Neo drivers)
o Satori MW16PNW-4
o Dayton AMT Pro-4
Next upgrade is to replace tweeter with the Heil AMT. I will move the Dayton to my (under construction) garage system.

Nicely done!
I would probably drill holes in the pipe support in order to hide the speaker wires. 🙂

nice speakers rb132333,
some thoughts :
- I would guess you get resonances from the emminence 3012 while the tube is pretty deep, i think you might skip the complete tube - the 3012 is oke with 100-400hz i think
- are the acoustical centers of midwoofer and tweeter aligned vertically?

I did try to align the drivers. My room is 16' x 16' and open to the back. It certainly not the optimum room size for speakers. Here is a quick frequency response (1/12 octave smoothing) that I took at the listening position.
