In short, the coverage was indistinct and uneven. The team selected a pair of Danley Sound Labs SH-50 loudspeakers for the center cluster.
¡°The arrayed pair gives excellent 100-degree horizontal coverage to the entire seating area, and the tight 50-degree vertical coverage keeps energy off the ceiling and on the seats,¡± said Sussman.
The center cluster is primarily responsible for local reinforcement. They also installed a pair of Danley found Labs SH-95s, one on either side of the proscenium, for reproduction of program material or reinforcement of musical instruments. Again, the SH-95s deliver pattern control that excites the listeners, but not the space itself.
Although Reid Sound had done a handful of smaller systems involving Danley Sound Labs loudspeakers, this was the company¡¯s first experience with a Danley subwoofer.
Normally, I would have installed a pair of subwoofers, but when I read the Danley TH-118¡¯s specifications, I realized that a pair would be tremendous overkill, said Sussman. Those specifications proved to be accurate. A single TH-118 provides an incredible amount of low-frequency extension in the space. It¡¯s not even turned up halfway, and it can shake the room. |
