Anatomy Of A Center Fill: Breaking Down An Approach To Using a Flown Center Fill For More Even Audience Coverage

ProSoundWeb: In the piece The Triangle of Sadness, we explored the technique of using a small flown center fill to address the center coverage gap that commonly exists in left/right system designs – an area I have christened the “Triangle of Sadness.” In a sense, this fill is particularly interesting in that you hear it most when it’s not there – that triangle of under-coverage down in the pit is so common that once you get used to not having a gap there, it becomes all the more obvious when you do encounter one.
