I heard line array cover more and reduce the echo that comes back from the wall because it throw the sound to the ground but i dont really know but i want to learn i like doing this i can buy 6x array boxes and then add more
i also want to rent out my gear so i can make money while im not using because we only have gigs in the summer may to september and some places are big about 100,000 sq or maybe smaller but its an army place i dont know what they call those and we also play in small places that fits about 300 people and all the places are square or rectangle and il look for some one that can train me i live in oregon
That
might be the case, it the line array is flown high enough and aimed down at the back row so little sound hits the back wall and what does is at an angle that sends the bounce into the back of the audience. If not, the echo back on stage will be worse. Of course this applies to traditional speaker designs as well.
It is very difficult to make money renting sound equipment in any situation, and one where your budget for updating gear constantly like your market will ultimately demand makes it nearly impossible.
If you can only utilize the gear yourself (most profit) from May to September, what makes you think there are others in your area who will be able to utilize it the rest of the year? You are all swimming in the same pond.
A properly configured line array system involves a tremendous expense, not only the speakers and amps, but cable, packaging, rigging, transportation, and a trained staff to implement it. It is not something to jump into thinking you'll learn as you go. The people who really make these system work invest big money in gear and support for the gear. You would probably be better served by a system of traditional style speakers that can be built up into bigger systems or used individually for smaller systems.
