You're right - great at 1, or mediocre at both. Ultimately I'm the one who will work in there, and I'd like form to follow function and it be within ITU spec for TV. It's possible others are more concerned with the 'cool' factor, but I can't very well tell those paying for it that it's impossible to seat more than 4. Maybe I will have to use a subset of the array for video.

RBDG designed a solution for this that keeps the producer position at its traditional location at the back of the control room and adds an additional set of surrounds hung above and at an angle to the producer desk, with appropriate time delays dialed in to allow the surround signal to arrive coincident with the LCR’s sound. They are also positioned on the same 100- to 120-degree plane as the surround speakers serving the mix position. The technique was used in three recently completed control rooms that RBDG designed at commercial post facility Reel FX in Dallas.
