I have been doing this sort of thing for a while and it really helps with the sound of more or less anything you do. It is well explained here [glow=red,2,300] www.eaw.com/info/EAW%20Smaart/Case_studies/case6.pdf [/glow] Even a simple speech system will benefit from aligning the source with the PA, making the back line of the band cohere with FOH is a joy. Once you have tried it out I think you will always want to do it, said the actress... |

Rather interesting that.
I only do smaller stuff myself unless im working for a company but I'll give it a go if I get the time with my PA next time Im in a place that I think will benefit from it.
I think the digital berry ultradrive crossover does this, I dont know how well though lol

this is common knowledge and really does work.
i remember there was an article in pro sound n light magasine in december (i think), over the following months gigs had nearly every guest engineer requesting it be done, flavour of the month i guess.

why do you need an RTA? just need to either get a tape measure and measure front of the backline to the PA and delay appropriately, or use your ears.
