When I think back to the early seventies when I started touring, the only control that was available on large systems was being in phase or out of phase and there used to be some right cock ups at times when people could not understand the best way to either run or wire up a rig---what did not help back then was the JBL idea to wire all components out of phase and engineers could not cope with having to wire black to red and red to black and when mixing horn loaded boxes with direct radiating boxes--HO HO HO HO.
