Thanks everyone for your reply's!  You guys helped me a good bit. But one more question... If I had to cover a crowd of say 5k-6k.. What Danley products would do the job?   As I stated before, Ive never used Danley products, so I would not know. I am trying to find a dealer or someone so I can get a demo (Wouldn't want to buy equipment blind)

I would point out that Jericho horns are overkill for 3000+ unless you really mean 3,000++++

You have experience with JH, then?

I don't, but using Google, YouTube and a few forum searches tells me what types of crowds these products are intended to provide sound for, and I don't see an issue conveying this info to the OP.

I'd love to hear more about these exciting products from Ivan.

How's your VUE sales tour going, btw?  Those boxes look nice, too.

[Lee Buckalew]

I can understand that. Ive just never used Danley products myself, but I'm really liking what I am finding out about them. Only problem is that I CAN'T FIND PRICING! And its Bugging the hell out of me. Looks like Ill have to find a local dealer. 

If in the budget, I would like to get 2 JH-2's and 2 TH-812's

The JH90P, self powered with Danley DSP presets, weighs 770 pounds and costs about $52,000.00 retail.

And somehow this info, and this entire thread, is perfectly suited for the Lounge?

Yep.  A really, really BIG Lounge.

Beats me. 
I'll leave that up to the moderator, at least a couple of whom have chimed in throughout the thread and have not decided it should be moved so...

I'm just answering a question that was asked.

I know and actually it's pretty interesting stuff, thanks.

Based on other threads, Mr. Tartaglia (and his brief alter-ego) is trying to quickly jump to fairly large shows and is investigating a number of ways to potentially get there.  I certainly don't fault him for doing the research, but I hope he takes this slow enough so he can accumulate enough technical and business knowledge to drive his large system proficiently.

I have been working with a few local production companies lately to learn more about large format systems. I have worked on a few large productions in my area and Im just trying to learn as much as possible(This forum has been a major help to me. Thank you to everyone who has responded!). As for that "Alter ego" thing on one of my first threads... I am not sure what happened there? I never changed my information. I just signed on one day and noticed my name and info was changed? Still confused about that...

I've been looking into Danley products for my next big upgrade for a year or so now.
Carrying around 2-4 JH90 cabinets to service 3,000 people seems *way* overkill.
JH90 cabs (and just about anything in the Jericho Horn line) seem to be intended for big stadiums. Granted, from everything I've heard around here, they sound great but you're probably talking at least $250,000 for speakers, amps, DSP, lifts, cases, and other support. That seems like a lot of money to service 3,000 people.

There is also the issue of weight. IIRC, JH90 cabs weigh something like 750 pounds. I think the new JH2 and JH3 cabs have moved into the 500-pound range, but that's still a lot of weight to move around (and fly). It's one thing to push a 500-pound sub (probably the weight range of the TH812, I haven't looked at that in a long time), it's another thing to fly a pair of 500-750 pound cabinets (per side).

Last time I checked the Danley white papers on the web site, they were talking about how SH46 cabinets would handle crowds the size the OP was mentioning.

A Jericho Horn system is a fantasy of mine; but reality is that I'll probably be able to start with 4 SH46 cabinets over the next couple of years and expand to six at some time. Would love some TH412 cabinets; but would probably have to live with the subs I currently own for a while after that. I'm figuring the SH46 rig I'd really like is going to cost me $50,000-$75,000 for cabinets, amps, lifts, cases, DSP, cables, and other related goodies (depending on the availability of used amps and such).

The big problem, and I think Tim pointed this out succinctly, is that I don't have enough business to justify spending $200,000 for a new "A" rig at this time ($75,000 just buys the tops and amps, still need a new console, subs, new mic complement, possibly a new geni, new truck to haul it in, etc., etc.).

Danley is definitely the way I'd suggest going for someone moving up to the next level beyond where I'm at, but it's not a cheap step. And Jericho horns would be the next big step up from the "next big step" for me at this time (and it looks like the OP is at or below the level I'm currently at).
Cheers,
