+=== Benefits ===
-* A wider sound image (the ensemble will sound ''bigger'')
+* For the Audience: Greater separation of instrument and vocal ''voicings''. This is significant as it helps with [[Localization]]
-* A wider coverage area (because of the near 170&deg; horizontal dispersion you don't get a lot more coverage from two {{L1}}s as compared to one).
+* For the Performers: Greater separation of the voicings means better monitoring. It is more likely that an individual performer will be able to hear his/her contribution to the mix when there are fewer ''voices'' in the mix ({{L1}} closest to him/her.

+=== Lesser Benefits ===
+* Because of the near 170&deg; horizontal dispersion with the {{L1}} you don't get a lot more coverage from two {{L1}}s as compared to one. You may get a better sense of [[Localization Spaciousness Reverberation|spaciousness]].
