if above condition is fulfilled, and then summed left and right for interference evaluation (see below drawings). Although pressure
level will still drop in the centre vicinity, overall level in the audience area is comparable to what occurs at the centre.

Advantage of stereo design as oppose to mono design is much improved phase relationship between subwoofer arrays and
main systems since distance between them is greatly reduced.
However, it is essential to keep in mind that stereo subwoofer array design always leads to strong interferences in the centre
alley vicinity (a couple of steps left and right of mixing position).
A successful design requires minimizing the audience area over which these interferences occur, and therefore lots of on-site
experimentation.
