Genzler 210 array stacked vertical??

[Chopthebass]

I’ve read many explanations why stacking a pair of 210 cabs vertically projects better than horizontal.

 

But, will this work ok for a pair of Genzler 210 cabs with the array of teeeters? Shifting the cabs in a vertical position makes the array horizontal.

What matters is the positioning of the tweeters, not the woofers, so you'd stack them as shown in the picture.

Bill I thought you’d mentioned in the past that four 10’s woofers in the conventional 410 arrangement isn’t as good a 210’s stacked vertical. So with 210 cabs that don’t have a tweeter array, is that the case? 

[Bill Fitzmaurice]

Correct. You want the upper midrange/high frequency elements vertical. With a conventional 210 the tens are the upper midrange/high frequency elements.

Worth mentioning the Genzler 'tweeter' array is doing a lot more than tweeting.

Correct.

 

They are designed to work stacked vertically, not side by side. The mid coverage pattern is defined by the mid element’s vertical orientation of the mid-high frequency array.

Ok so if the cabs are stacked with the array horiz as it’s meant to be, it still means the four woofers end up in the non preferred arrangement. I assume this won’t matter?

In this case it won't matter by much. Since the woofers only operate up to 800Hz that places their center to center distance within the required 1 wavelength, which is 42cm at 800Hz. There is some loss of horizontal dispersion below 800Hz where the woofers operate, but not enough to be concerned about.

Correct, that’s exactly why I differentiated between the LF section and the mid-hi frequency sections as Bill also clarified.
