So along with everything else that is changing with all of these mods and builds, I am re-discovering just how persnickity getting and keeping horns aligned and aimed can be.
Moving the horn by 1/2in (or less) in either the x or y direction let alone the z axis and in a near field setting where these kinds of small changes have less impact on directionality etc. is very revealing.
It reminds me of the days way back in the 70's when we aligned horn speakers in a large 'auditorium' and how we could make such small alignment changes and make up to 10dB (or more) acoustic changes to what the audience heard.
And that was with throws of 30-40-50 ft. or more.
Yeah horns can be amazingly sensitive to setup.
