Chopthebass Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 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.

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 What matters is the positioning of the tweeters, not the woofers, so you'd stack them as shown in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Correct. You want the upper midrange/high frequency elements vertical. With a conventional 210 the tens are the upper midrange/high frequency elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Worth mentioning the Genzler 'tweeter' array is doing a lot more than tweeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, that’s exactly why I differentiated between the LF section and the mid-hi frequency sections as Bill also clarified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
