Let me explain what a line array speaker is. It is essentially an array of drivers closely arranged in a vertical row. My design is probably more of a mini-line array, since I only have 5 small 2 inch drivers in the array, but it is an array none the less. The aim is to have something that will still have a reasonable footprint and can fit into the average lounge. The array column also has a rear firing tweeter mounted in the back. This allows us to fill in the typical high frequency drop of the array, but also gives us some ambient presence. Of course five 2 inch drivers will not produce much bass under 200Hz, and thus the array is supported by a subwoofer as part of the overall design. In this case the subwoofer is a project I featured in a previous project video: • Building a Small Passi... . The woofer is a 6.5 inch driver by Tang Band, and two 8 inch passive radiators.

I built something very similar for my PA system, but I used Faital Pro 3FE22 drivers, 16 per side for the power handling, and a Faital Pro 12FH520 on each side for the bottoms, running a QSC GX7 to feed them. Although it’s slightly lumpy at the high end because of the separation of the drivers, just over three inches) the dispersion and sound is similar to how you describe. It takes a bit of EQ above 5k to even it out and to get a flat plot like yours, also a bit more like 97dB at 1W, 1m with the 16 drivers. I’m glad others are resurrecting the column arrangement, it can work well.

This is a really well done build. TY for sharing your design processes and build techniques! I do wonder, if this would be better described as a "Column" speaker instead of "Line Array" as it does not have vertically steerable elements. A very pendantic clarification on my part. But, one that may help others find similar designs to compare. Cheers!
@SoundBlab

Thanks. I think essentially a column speaker is a line array, that is if the column comsists of an array of same drivers in a vertical line. You could call it a ‘column line array’ perhaps.

@unknownregions5014
@unknownregions5014 2 жыл бұрын
Id agree this is a column array rather than a line array, typical line arrays also have 10-15 degree vertical dispersion between boxes to stop comb filtering. High frequency drivers are usually set within a horn to control the dispersion of the driver to get that 10-15 degrees. With lower frequency drivers, of course it means the dispersion is more omnidirectional due to the length of the waves, however using phase cancellation using the different degree of phase from the sound coming out the back of the driver, can be used to control the dispersion out of the front of the box, using a ported horn, and creating a better phase response from the indivual box to group of boxes. As the dispersion of your column array is set by the conical dispersion of each driver and the amount of drivers in a line, their is overall less control of phase, as the drivers get further apart, for example the top and bottom driver in the array, it will cause comb filtering depending on where you stand or sit, this is the inherent flaw of using full range or high mid drivers as the main speakers and and just having them next to each other open with no horn or wave guide.

@@hualieno4119 Maybe "fix" wasn't the right term. Like a null you can't fix with DSP I poorly worded what I said and Instead I meant you can somewhat tame it based on the graph I saw. It won't fix it. But might make it less noticeable. At least a little. Placement would be the main focus to get where they play best then DSP after that. Though I wouldn't want to have to deal with that comb filtering at all if that's what it is. I'm not sure what that is but It just looked kinda like it.

@@JoshM7 Trouble with comb filtering is that when you move just to a different seat on the couch, it is a completely different tonal picture. Sit in the center, and there will be a gap at, let's say 6kHz. Move a bit on the couch, and your gap is now a peak at 6kHz.That's the comb filtering in action. So, if you EQ the center position trying to raise that null in the center (bad idea), then the person sitting next to you will have the peak even more intensified. Same goes if you go the other way. If you try to tame a peak at the center position, the others will have a chasm. And you can't do multiple measurements because they will average each other. Really, the only way to deal with comb filtering is keeping the drivers small, the C-to-C as small as possible, and putting some distance between you and the speakers. Line arrays are wonderful, I built a couple myself, but they do need certain care, and yes, they do need DSP, even after you took care of the comb filtering.

@@jeffp7038 Ohhh ok. I typically only have one seating position and rarely anyone else in the room. So I'm only really tuning for my position. But that makes sense as it's just like other audio related problems. Just a different way to tackle the problem. When I had a single sub it was extremely positional and hard to get a smooth response across the range. But was doable after lots of trial and error with different positions in my room. Switching to dual subs helped a lot and sounds more full almost everywhere in the room compared to a single sub. Even though I only have the one listening position it's nice having that smooth response in other areas of my room. So I guess now the question is. Would time alignment fix the comb filtering? Might need each driver to have their own channel though... that's not always easy.

@@JoshM7 multiple subs is the way to go indeed. You can also play with phase between them to equalize the nodes around the room. The smallest line array I built was 9 drivers. I wouldn't do it again. I like being seated at the listening position, but I also want to have good sound around the room when I do other things. Small LA have tiny perfect listening spot, sometimes a few cms only! The smallest I would do is 16 drivers, and 25 would be better yet. And going through all the trouble of wiring all these drivers to get a very limited listening space is way too much hassle! If the room is too small to have LA in it, then, one should consider other designs. Trying to beat something into a shape it doesn't want to do is a lost cause, and will introduce way more problems than solutions. Time aligning them all with single powered channels is possible, but again... the amount of work involved is overwhelming! Wiring and assembling 16 or 25 drivers per line is quite the exercise in patience!

Love your work. Its a great inspiration to make my own speakers. Where do you get your veneer from? Would like to give that a go as well.

It's still a long way from the line array, but nice work, the processor is missing, which is the loop, the separately controlled speakers, and one important thing, the speakers are far apart, even in this case, which is the hardest solution for line array systems !! Thanks for the video.

A small 90x45 wave guide tweeter or tall ribbon tweeter could be mounted in a nested configuration, just inside and half-way up the line array.

How wattage is calculated in centre tap transformer?.... Like 12 0 12 5amps is 24v *5 = 120watts or 12v* 5 =60watts.

Great build, thanks. My question is about the tweeter position, I understand it reflects from the room walls, but this is not perfect. Would it be better to place two tweeters angled from each other 60 degrees for eeample? This is the only thing I do not like with my column array, it produces 120 degrees coverage, however the high frequencies are there for 40 degrees, no more unfortunately.

It sounds like boom sibilance and harshness... I think there's good reason why people angle them. I've always wondered why even still they're not too popular.

Thanks for doing this. Very very cool but so you know that’s not a line array. You mean a column array. A line array has a minimum length that it needs to meet in order to begin the line array effect. Anyway, thank you for this. Also so you know, it’s not the column array that gives an array it’s wide throw. It’s the fact that you were using small drivers. As a rule, smaller drivers throw wider than larger drivers. That’s true for point source speakers as well as arrays.
