Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Wojtek,

I do not think that Martin has any time alignment strategy. You see, the necessity for time alignment is a basic fundamental principle, and particularly in horns that spin phase like helicopter. However, in many instances the horns are juts not alignable in context of the give real-estate and context of selected horns and the given room layout.

What I usually look for is a sensibility, balance and reasoning. I have seen people pile up horns without any consideration how then would be use. The horns dimension, the phasing, the room reverberation time, the characters of the drivers, the acoustic and electric filters and many many other aspects should be well thought out before people begin to cut the wood.  Generally, following some abstract concept even they were ration concepts do not work in horns. The only thing that does work is to do things, observe results and react to the results with appropriate direction of actions. That is why looking at a properly implemented and performing installation it is always an intellectual pleasure as a well behaving installation exposes a lot of underlying thinking and a lot of underlying rational. It is like reading somebody’s diary-novel, when following what was expressed you can image what “might be said” or what was implied.
