This Simple Mistake RUINS Line Array Coverage (And How To Fix It)

Isn’t it funny that line arrays are rarely deployed in a straight line?

Spoiler alert: there’s a good reason for that.

Many engineers present line arrays as a panacea to all audio problems. It just might be the right tool for the job, but it must be designed and deployed correctly. Nailing the mechanical design first gets you 90% of the way there.

Even with all the advancements in prediction software and processing there’s still one critical mistake I see over and over again with line array deployments. It doesn’t sound pretty and you can’t solve it with EQ.

Thankfully it’s a simple, zero cost fix.
