line arrays are used for a good reason - to cover VERY large areas! talking thousands. I believe in larger indoor venues they are hard to get right. As i said I know little about them.
Say you just had your first driving lesson, would you go out and buy a porshe and insure it and wack L plates on it? or buy something more suited? Like a corsa/fiesta |

I dont mean to offend anyone, but you sound exactly like the mobile DJs here who call themselves production companies.. Yes, some of them may have a linearray system, some may even have digital desks, but common for 95% of them is that they have no clue.. if you want a linearray, you need to spend quite a chunk more cash if you want to get something as rider friendly and powerful as a pile of Martin W8, Turbo Flash/flood etc. 30K of JBL VRX will get you into hotel ballrooms w. coverbands 300K of d&b will get you into the same ballrooms w. big name acts 30K of used Floodlights or W8 will get you the same ballrooms w. cover bands - AND the ability to do much larger gigs, or more gigs at a time.. The issue you mention about lifting heavy cabinets is not a problem.. Most promoters will offer some volunteer hands to help at loadin and loadout.. - Its just a matter of putting it in the contract.. Another issue if you go the linearray route: Your get a call for a rig to go in the local venue... The usual guy does the show w. 1 stack of W8 per side, groundstacked.. to get the same SPL you need 3* VRX932 per side.. IOW you have to bring in 6 cabs per side, a pair of *large* towerstands - or go in the roof and rig some points... I am guessing that you save atleast 30 minutes and a fair chunk of truck space by going with a conventional system.. On top of that, there are many venues where a linearray rig just wouldnt work... |

By the sound of things, i'm not sure you should be spending any money on any equipment. This sounds like a recipe for disaster

Think again... for a decent size system for 5000 plus people you`ll not get much change from 300k. .p. |
