E3T Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 To me, this is a "no-brainer"; but, here goes anyway: I have been contracted by a company to install the speaker cluster in a church (sorry to say - not KLIPSCH). However, the company's owner wants the speakers installed inverted (low-end driver at the top & high/mid at the bottom. When I questioned this orientation, he informed me that if I checked at any church or club, I would find the speakers installed this way because this is the propper way to hang speakers. Did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhtf Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 It is better to put the low end to the closest boundary. This will get a better bass response from the speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 eek, i just read two articles about this: http://www.peavey.com/support/technotes/soundsystems/boundarycancellation.cfm http://www.peavey.com/support/technotes/soundsystems/loudspeaker_array.cfm and just for the record, the (klipsch) cluster at our church has the subs on top too (but it's a completely different cabinet as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Ok, I'm going out in the shop now to flip my KP201's over. THey're on wall brackets about 6" from the 11 foot ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thackmate Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 if you are flying clusters you may want to alternate the orientation of the cabinets to reduce or hopefully eliminate comb filtering of the HF's. I.E. let's say you are flying a cluster of three speakers near the ceiling then on the outer two of the 3 have the woofers adjacent to the ceiling and the middle speaker opposite.
