Gig Log 5 - "That sound comes from those small things?"

[@linecheckaudiosessions]

Great vlog! I just bought 4 QSC LA112 line array speakers and couldn’t find any good videos of those global truss stands in action so that I could consider buying them to support two line arrays per side, but this video did the job. Thanks!

Appreciate the comment and glad I could help! I got to listen to those LA112's, they were awesome in the demo I had.

how do you like the LA112s? we are looking at line arrays rn and thats one of the options

[@linecheckaudiosessions]

@@tomworrell4059 I'm very happy with them. I used to run with K12.2 speakers for mains but I needed a bit more power. I feel good about the choice I made.

Very nice and impressive. This is also my experience with modern point sources. It is not always necessary to go for a line array. Modern and good point sources are capable of doing a great job. And they are way more easy to handle. So it is always a good idea to chose carefully what is really needed.

Very impressive. I have X42s but haven't had the chance to open them up like this for a gig. I'm also very curious what kind of coverage I can get with them.

[@inthemix2805]

@@StereoAnthony my guess is the x42 may even be better for depth coverage because of the more focused horizontal pattern.

@@inthemix2805 @stereoanthony, My company has the x40 and x42 in inventory. You will notice slightly more output from the x42 due to its pattern. The ultra is a great box and packs a lot of punch for its size. We recently added some Danley sm80 into inventory and use them over the ultras for events like this where we need the extra output. We found the 80 to get a solid bit louder and hold together a bit better over distance. It also seems to handle being bombarded by a number of sources at once a little better. The x40/42 are the choice for stand alone use because they do well without subs for lighter music. I am glad we have some really great choices in the market.
