tried out 8 skrams cardioid outside setup, cancelling in the back was incredible. also the beam was very narrow, perfect for the situation. walking in and out of a zone of massive bass adds to the overall experience of the guests as well. i followed the MichaelCurtisAudio instructions for this setup and they worked like a charm. crossover was a bit higher at 100Hz ato go a bit more relaxed on the tops, and the skrams punch in the higher bass as much as the kick in the lower.
also i was wondering how it makes a difference to stack the subs with the openings closer to each other compared to what we did, when the wavelengths are so long. i didn't notice anything weird the way we stacked them. i even considered stacking the top ones upside down, to space the stack. wouldn't that improve the beam pattern even more?
we had no time for measurements.
the skrams produce a super dry bass, ludicrous levels achievable even with a lesser efficient cardioid setup like we did. my guess is you could have a 1000 people audience with 8 skrams. (these are IPAL ready, just imagine the output!)
two skrams fit on a europallet, a skram is possible to stack with two guys, the height of two skrams is perfect to stack a top on... they fit through any standard door, the driver is savely protected and a splash of beer won't do any damage either. a very convenient design.
