RE: Division of labor in PA system-More

Thanks for your input, and I was not aware of the depth of your experience. I appreciate your taking the time to respond to me here.

What I'm trying to do is take your observation that the bass may be 10 dB louder than the rest of the spectrum when you RTA it out in the farfield (indoors of course), and work backwards from that to figure out what the relative target 1-meter on axis maximum SPL would be from the mains & from the clustered subs in order to end up with a balanced system. I'm not sure it's a straightforward 1:1 correspondence because of the difference in radiation patterns and the different absorption coefficients that different wavelengths encounter in-room.
