Double Bass Array (DBA) - The modern bass concept! - Page 5

First, I'm always surprised this thread doesn't get much traction...

Interesting, care to elaborate?




Yep, easy way to explore optimization approaches/options. This would certainly aid in the examining of your contention above.

The lack of the benefits of PVG/Room Gain, which is one of the rare instances of a free lunch in audio, seems to be the leading reason not to pursue a DBA. Given the option of proceeding without the loss of these reciprocal gains, seems quite attractive and maybe would be the way to get more interest in similar pursuits.


Thanks

I'd be more likely to do a single bass array which would still have room gain, and simply treat the rear wall with pressure traps to target depth modes. In a HT room you can then sit closer to the rear wall, the cost is halved also.

Yes, exactly,......like PNW and the Octagon; (18)15's launching toward a massive, complex, rear wall limp-mass membrane rear wall surface that's transparent and dissipative below "x" frequency.

The driver spacing addresses height and width modes, and the faux rear boundary addresses front to back modes.



Thanks

This is the most interesting thread regarding linear and time-correct bass I've read since I learned about Geddes'/Welti's/LeJeune's theories of Distributed Bass Arrays.

THIS DIY recipe employs two identical stand mount monitors in an L-shaped array for ambiance and bass mode cancelling effects above the sub woofer range. Seems like a good match for DBA. The promised spatial effects and sound intensity are frosting on the cake.

Hello all.. New Member Here.. Have Much interest in Taming rooms

Any chance at seeing the full range 1/24oct response measurement.. Or did I miss it?
