Hi everybody just thought I should make myself known, my name is Matt and I’m a fellow speaker geek. I don’t yet own a pa system but intend to buy a line array system at some point next year mainly because I love the look of them What’s a good line array system for under £30000? I’ve heard some mixed views on jbl and ev but what would you say has the upper hand? What’s the best system for under £30000?

are you going to be getting main stage glastonbury business then? not being rude, but line arrays in the wrong environment sound HORRIBLE! point of source is easier to control and get dispersion right, and for £30,000 a nice big stasys system would be plenty loud enough for many an outside stage!!! ------------- According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction. http://www.truesoundhire.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - Sound Hire |

It depends a *LOT* what you want to do with your linearray.. If its large scale festival shows, 30K wont get you far, but if its smallish venues you want to do, there are several contenders, but again: 30K wont get you far.. 30.5K will get you: 10* JBL VRX 932 midtops 10* JBL SRX718 subs 2* flying frames ( you still need steels, safeties and a pair of chainhoists ) a popular match for this would be a pair of ampracks w: dbx driverack 260 1* Labgruppen FP3400 2* Labgruppen FP6400 IOW you have spent about 60-65K for a rig ( flightcases, rigging and wiring included ) that will do bands for 6-700 punters with acceptable results Theres a lot of smaller companies over here using setups like this... They arent fantastic, but they get the job done... I have heard plenty of good reports of the linearray offerings from Void, so that may be worth a listen.. ( I am a Void dealer, so please ignore this, if you think I am biased ) Oh... and please consider if you really need a linearray to do the show, and not just need it to look cool... Used point source cabs of pro level quality would most likely cover your needs and get you lots more value for money.. Turbosound Flashlight, Martin W8, EAW KF850 etc go for 1000-1500£ per stack and are generally much more flexible in a rental situation, and would be accepted by most guest engineers, no questions asked - this could be a problem with a MI grade VRX rig.. ------------- real phone no: +45 four zero six two four four nine eight ( using obvious anti phone spam encryption ) |

Linearrays are not the solution to all your problems.. trust me.. Example: Local venue, 800 punter capacity: per side: 6* d&b Q1, 6* Q sub, 1* Q7 infill To drive this, you need 3* D12 amps per side... Total setup time with a 2 man crew: 15 minutes to prep rigging and hang the points 10 minutes to calculate angles etc. 10 minutes to assemble array 10 minutes to stack subs 10 minutes to tweak An equivalent system could be 3* Floodlights + 3* TSW718 per side This rig can be groundstacked and total setup time would be about 20 minutes with a 2 man crew.. loadin times would be drastically reduced aswell ( unless you have to load in on a flight of stairs ) the conventional system would involve having to move a total of 12 cabinets and 2 racks.. the linearray system would involve moving 26 cabinets and 2 racks.. ------------- real phone no: +45 four zero six two four four nine eight ( using obvious anti phone spam encryption ) |

of course it would, I know absolutely nothing about line arrays, but what i know from point source is you need to get the right dispersion from the cabinets, and if done wrong, the sound is very uneven across the venue, and it can sound brilliant at the mix position but no where else. You need to make sure people at the back hear as well as the people at the front. ------------- According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction. http://www.truesoundhire.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - Sound Hire |

The way a system looks should really not be a decisive factor when choosing. The only time I can think of where it would really be considered is when an installation company would be doing an install for a swanky venue.
You should be much more interested in response plots and real world performance.

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.

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... ------------- real phone no: +45 four zero six two four four nine eight ( using obvious anti phone spam encryption ) |

Matt im sorry but your plan is basicly a no go from the start. Do you understand what a crossover is and how you use them? How about delays and time alignment? Do you know how to use a mixing desk to get the best out a band? How about compressors, gates, limiters etc? Line array looks nice, and sound nice if your doing glastonbury and good systems cost a hell of a lot of money. 30K is not a lot in terms of big sound systems. for 30K you could not get a good line array and cables and a desk and storage and insurance and amps and processing. Its not possible. I think you need to seriously sit down and work out a buisness plan because that sort of money can be used to buy some very nice kit if you go second hand and know what you are talking about when you go to buy it. Frankly you sound like your the sort of guy who would end up paying list price for stuff because "thats what they cost". You need to work out what sort of venues and crowd sizes you will be aiming to cover. then go and see what others use to do this and then see how much it would cost to get a rig of the same size Once you have done this then maybe you will realise that its not just as simple and buy some stuff, plug it in and hey presto it sounds great. There is a hell of a lot more to it than that. 30k might get you the moniter system they use on the main stage at glasto if your lucky. |

Sorry mate but I hope you have good PPe as starting your first post as speaker geeks is heading you for a whole heap of whoop ass.... tell you what keep your £30k in your back pocket - advertise that you can supply see what come back you get. and hire in for now. then "when you become an overnight success and take all our work away you can go out and get your "big rig" but please will you give me some work as I will be skint and I have a wife and two kids to feed. I think I will struggle as I have only been in the Industry for 15 years and built up a reputation over this period to where I have got today. I can tell from your previous posts James Kahn and the rest of the dragons will be banging on your door for a piece of the pie.
Seriously
get yourself a complete little rig of stackable cabs a nice FOH set up and spend a couple of thou, to do a few hundred people develop a reputation and build yourself up from there. otherwise you will have a load of kit getting rusty, going nowhere and burning a large hole in your arse....

you need to transport the kit
insure the kit
maintain the kit
advertise the kit
but if you dont have the reputation and relationships why would people trust a very important event with joe bloggs and some very nice kit.
I understand what you are saying but people have tried this and suffered greatly in the past.
look at all the long standing sound companies and what you they all have in common they offer a reliable cost effective service and have a good reputation, history, and years and years of experience....
Take Rog for isntance (hope you dont mind old Golden Cock!) he started of with selling speaker designs getting a rep from that designing and building a few cabs and from that he has grown (gradually) learn to walk before you run.... this isnt a piss taking excuse just hate to see people wast good money.
and yes Martin long bow line array or D&B J Series any day of the week over harsh FK1 or TS - That'll sturr the pooh up a bit!!!! but I dont think you have got a few hundred K to invest so Glastonbury is a few years away yet me thinks... ------------- Sound, Light, Projection, Display, Cameras and production support |

Well AC/DC is old hat really and probably like odd school systems not saying it doesn't sound good but wont sound like a line array.
Have you ever used a line array Robbo ? ------------- love life your only hear once |

I have used a small jbl line array system which got me fixed. Only problem was rigging the tops.
