Good to here from you again Josh. And thank you for giving us some time with the rig. We really enjoyed it and it was very informational. I love to get my hands on new PA equipment and try different things.
Which brings be to my next point. For those of you who don't know me I am Jason Ketchem's partner in Sounds Cool Live Audio LLC. I handle logistic's, booking, system design , and feeding the fish. I have the easy job compared to what Jason does.
As Jason mentioned above the first time out with rig was good. I had to take -3dB off the horns in the DX38's and cut 2K -4dB, 500HZ -6 dB, and 1.6K -2dB out of the house EQ then we had something to listen to. Smooth all around. The first thing that came to my mind was WOW I found my new subs. This system carried 95dB to 260 feet and thats just where I stopped walking. I also didn't care much for the hollow feet they break to easy. If they were solid nylon I think that would be the ticket. The caster boards are the coolest I have even seen. The covers were OK not the best but not the worst. The subs are 90 inch truck pack 1/2 by 1/4 someone was thinking there. I wish they had more handles on the top and bottom. Or maybe move the current locations for easy of stacking. If you are lucky enough to hear this system you will be impressed with the magnitude of the low end and crisp bright high end, 800HZ lobe? Nope not here smooth as can be.
The second night at fest number one was a lot more of the same, I had a little more time to tune and walk the seating area. Of course smooth and well covered all the way through. Night two was a recent Nashville Star 2nd place winner. She was on here game that night, band sounded great, strong vocal, and some good ole country music. I had 2000 spectators that night with 2 tops and 2 subs aside. No clipping No Limiting No distortion. I had
some seniors in the first 8 rows. Pushing 100dB all night long and they stayed in there seats. After the show 4 or 5 came up to me a FOH. The first think that I thought was here we go with "IT WAS TO LOUD, MY EARS ARE RINGING" but I was wrong it was more like "You don't hear quality like that everyday, and Were are you going to be next week". I think they cleaned me out of cards that night.
In the near future we will be posting more info. on the other shows we did with this system. And at the end we will do a final
"What We Thought" review of the overall system and it's components.
