I run one pair crossed over at 150hz (in front) and one crossed over at 80hz, so I do run stereo, but I doubt it changes a huge amount in the end. I've played with the phase but don't notice any effect. Like @heelid I placed my Swarm at different heights, two lower, one ear level, and one close to ceiling. I experimented with different orientations, and firing toward the wall produced by far the smoothest results. These were very easy to integrate beautifully in my system.
Distributed Bass Array configuration
Please, I don't want to debate the merits of the DBA nor of those who espouse it. I am considering adding two more subwoofers to a system that has two already. To those who use a DBA,I am interested in how you have configured them, specifically--
- Do you run in mono, or do you split the array to run in stereo?
- What is your approach to setting phase (delay) among speakers that may be facing different directions and are different distances from the listener?
