Title: Jimmy Kimmel Live
Post by: Steve Litcher on April 25, 2017, 12:42:34 AM

I've always wondered about the JKL PA system, especially for their outdoor stage. Looks like it has changed quite a bit with the new Mercedes sponsorship... I can't really tell what they're using for FOH speakers - anyone have any ideas or info?

Anyone been to a show there? Curious about coverage and quality. I have to imagine it's good, but I'm semi-surprised to not see a flown line array. If memory serves, it's a rooftop venue... anyone have any additional intel about the venue and configuration?

Hmmm - Will someone answer??  There just happens to someone here who knows just a little bit about that production.

I couldn't tell you any details as I didn't look, but it's 2 carpeted point source Box's per sides with 2 or 3 what look like double 18's with PM5D's either end.
