Hi all,
Has anyone here used L'Acoustics A10s? Looking at maybe having 4x A10 wide and 2x KS21s all powered with 2x LA4x amps. Not looking to fly anything at this point as 95% of my events are ground supported PAs. I have never used L'Acoustics before. I downloaded the Soundvision software and was completely lost. Much different compared to LAC and ArrayCalc.
What's the throw on these boxes like?
How do they sound?
Would a 1 over 1 or 2 over 1 be sufficient for a band gig and possible DJ. No EDM, hip hop.
The biggest room I provide sound for is 60' wide by 120' deep.
How's the accessories in setting these up etc..
Looking for Pros and cons of this rig.
TIA
I run an A15/KS28 rig, but I have A10's for my delay fills.
I am not sure what type of SPL your are looking for, and what amount of front to back variance is acceptable for your gigs, but I don't think you are going to get 120 feet of coverage with them, especially ground-stacked - in my room my hang of 4x A15's are shooting about 70ft-100ft, and that seems about right.
As these boxes are constant curvature that minimizes some of your options vs a line array.
The boxes are L'Acoustics, so they sound nice, I cannot complain - while they might look somewhat similar to VRX they are different animals.

One other curiosity I have is I that have occasionally worked on a A10 rig where the boxes seem to overlap and get harsh between boxes; it was a nature of the array, as it is not splayable. I heard from the integrator who installed that rig that this was due the box not being the install version, and that the install version has an available bumper - but I have not been able to verify that one- in that particular system a point source would have been cheaper and sounded much more consistent both for SPL and frequency.
Granted the A10's in my delay fills don't have this problem though - so not sure why.

Bottom Line: They sound nice, but I would probably be looking at a different rig for this application.
