Hi Romy,

Why such a wide angle? To keep the highs evenly spread and match to the angles of other chanels ofcourse but this will call for much more attention to room setup/treatment.

Wouldnt this also lose some of the horn magic by letting the playback room "mix" with the recording.
Alot of the benifits i have attributed to horns is because of the narrow directivity they posess. At lower frequencies the directivity is always less ofcourse so i can understand why.
Perhaps you see this wide angle setup only restricted to a large space?

Collin
