Description
Overview
Skyline 6 is a prototype compact line array for small outdoor work — markets, weddings, spoken word. The aim is even vocal coverage over a long, shallow audience area without the size or cost of a full touring rig.
This is an early prototype: one module pair is assembled, and array measurements are the next milestone.
Design notes
- Tight 4” driver spacing keeps comb filtering above the crossover region
- Fixed splay steps make rigging predictable for non-engineers
- Laser-cut steel rigging keeps the per-box weight low
