Yes without measurements to set an eq properly, It was a pretty raw test. Must get teunos's out to him for him to measure asap.

Directivity wise would you agree it is as accurate as a cd horn ? I would say it was identical except the cd horn we tested against that is supposed to be a 90 degree horn the levels dropped off at exact same point around 60 degrees.

They roll off hights differently though.
Basicly 2230 would be good for closer distances, tractrix for larger areas. Pole mounting should be good idea.
I wish I spent on it more time to see whats its really capable on 100%.

Most definitely, the tractrix needs quite a birth going full steam. Don't want to get up and personal with it if you value your eardrums.

Looks good. And what about off-axis response?
