For outdoor settings its Six dB reduction for every doubling of the distance. For line arrays for the freqs within the near field it drops 3dB for doubling of distance. Once those freqs are out in the far field you are in the six dB reduction for doubling distance again. You need long line array columns to be able to reproduce LFs in the near field.Advice: For Club use get Hi efficiency speakers with more output than 90db/W. In well designed rooms with non parallel walls, adeq absorption and limited reverberation Point source speakers will provide the most natural sound. Consider room treatment and directional speakers in problem rooms with poor speech intelligibility, echoes (long rev times). In these rooms horns and line arrays may be useful + room treatment
