And he can "do" 120dB at 100'.  I just wonder how that was "measured"?

I wonder what the "sound quality index" would be?

  Hello,

  Aww...he took down his sale post... 

  dang-it.

 Just in case the Ad does get removed (it's still showing up as active for me) here is a photo of the actual Ad Copy. I WISH there was a way to passively subscribe to the e-mail responses that people get when they place an Ad on CL. If you could just hit a subscribe button and get copied (without seeing the users emails) it would be BRILLIANT fun... It would make a hell of an entertaining iPhone App too if such a thing was possible.

120 dB @ 100'.  This system conduit.......

The 100 feet he's talking about is the length of the cable from amp to speaker. But remember, it's friggin loud.

WOW-I feel much more enlightened-thanks for the education.

And I thought the groups were just used to get more headroom on a mixer.  You learn something every day.

No, you are thinking of parallel busing:  When the sound has more paths leading to the output you get more sound out of the PA, just like several rivers combining. 

Djeeez, Ivan, you really are a newb!

"even if used properly, they sound like frying eggs @ 10 feet".

I came across this ad this morning, some of this guys wording is pretty funny. Maybe this system could cover 3000 people outdoors... 

Back to work now... just a moment of fun for Friday morning.

Damn!  Right here in my very own back yard and I MISSED IT!

...I can't tell at the end if he is asking $12k or if he is claiming it would all cost that much "new" ....

It's only a dollar (look at the listing title). The cables alone are worth at least that much, but you'll still have dump fees for the rest of it.

What I really love is how given the same loudspeakers, if you have a larger mixer-you can "cover" more people.

Could somebody please explain how that works.  I guess I don't understand that part?

What formula do you use?

  I allow one mix bus for each busload of people I'm mixing for... Pretty simple formula. A 4-bus console can provide sound for 4 busloads of people... 8-bus consoles handle twice as many.

 If you've got a big stadium to do, you've gotta get a digital console with at least 16 variable mix buses... (The variable setting lets you vary the coverage if more people show up then expected)... But you've gotta choose if they're going to show up (pre)-show or after you've already started (post). You only use fixed buses if your audience will be seated in the same place for the whole show.

 I would have thought you were hip to this formula already Ivan 😳
