Andre,
We have several years under our belt now with the Turbo Flex Array system. I would say that we are totally happy with every aspect of this system's performance in all regards. Turbosound has been purchased by the Music Group, so I do not know what good or bad impact this will have on the future of Turbosound. I can only hope. The good news for those considering purchase ( and not so good news for those of us who have already purchased) is that Turbosound pricing just went down @ 30+% across the board.
To your specific question. 12 to 16 Flex over 6 to 8 TSW218 subs per side will give you very good results for 8/10,000 punters outside. I would suggest you seriously consider the 100 degree "Wide" version of the Flex. I tried the 70 degree version and found it too narrow for our use. Good luck.
+1 Steve … and provided the
Music Group can maintain Turbosound’s
rider acceptance I welcome the 30% price reduction on both Turbosound and Midas. I was planning on buying more not selling any of them.
If Uli can ensure that the rider acceptance of these products remains or improves in the Pro market it equals $ for me. If it doesn’t then it’s very very ugly for me and the Music Group in the long term.
Andre - a few more comments:
The Flashline is MUCH more powerful (+10 - 12dB) than the Flex, The TT55, and JBL VTX25 are also more powerful.
I have not heard the VTX20 but it would be worth a look … the Flex with the 30% price reduction may however give you more bang for your buck.
If you buy the Flex, run it with Lake FIR processing. The 75 degree boxes are great for many venues but for outdoor festivals etc. the 100 degree box is much better.
