We just rewired our church to take advantage of the delay line function available in our x32 mixing board. So far so good, everyone thinks it sounds better now. But I want to take it to the next level.
The room is 52 feet long by 36 feet wide with two speakers hung at the front wall above the proscenium arch about 12 feet up, and then pairs of speakers on opposite walls at 18, 30, and 42 feet from the front, all 8 feet off the floor, pointing directly perpendicular out from the wall. The speakers are made by Yorkville, but I don't know the model numbers, nor anything about their dispersion or response curves.
Someone suggested using MAPP 3D to help get the best audio throughout the room, but looking at that I don't recognize any of the speakers they calibrated with. So I'm wondering if it even makes sense, given our current setup?
What do we really need to measure anyway? That are that the sides are doing their job filling in missing highs and lows, and that the volume drop off from front to back is appropriate? I'm no expert but that seems like the bare minimum I should be trying to understand about the room. Maybe I can do that with the mixer's built-in RTA and spectrograph view?
