I regularly go out with 12 psychos and 6 primes and stand in front of them for long periods of time, i think they sound lovely. Not as delicate as a stasys 3 mk2 but they are designed for really large events.

One thing i have realised is that you actually have to manage your system properly when your using them. As they are getting into the realms of spl you average joe does not deal with regularly i am constantly having to mention to people about not running them as loud as they go because they can go that loud. You have to teach yourself a new set of skills to run them loud because if you don't the crowd suffer, badly in some cases.

Any way, i think everyone should come to glade this year to make their minds up about them. Waiting for the tent specs before i can confirm what i need but i have some good ideas

bryan, thats what i thought when i heard them in portugal i think for the size of the event they could have been turned down slightly, i would imagine at really large event you get really loud top really far back into the crowd

we didnt actually have them turned up that much.
we tried to level it up with the other rig in the room for a balanced sound.

it sounded better than the 1st time we used them, and im guessing saturday night it will sound even better again.

You blow fewer drivers this way brian!

This is exactly how we run things, way below 100% and when the speakers warm up they always sound louder anyway.

Well yes, theres ear fatigue as well. Everyone loves it loud, but some people push it too far and although they think they like it, it can be quite uncomfortable at times. Better to keep it loud and try and keep some of the ear piercing 3-6khz out of the spectrum when it starts to get really loud.

I think glade should be interesting...! ;)
Enjoy your self...... It's later than you think.......
