[QUOTE="Martin Primus, post: 74676, member: 2937"] Re: Anyone with JBL JRX experience? Update...well I survived...and the best news is I didn't have to deal with the JRX FOH at all, just the horrible JRX100 wedges and PV wedges they had. The club (just reopened) had a new system installed, not deployed too well for bands (4 speakers hung, aimed at the dance floor from each corner, subs were on stage). But it was QRX212's x4 and QRX218's x 2. High frequency coverage was terrible because of where the boxes were aimed, but I was able to coax a pretty good mix. I almost got twice the fun, because I found out that night that they were playing a Sunday night gig just up the road, and again intended on using their JRX FOH. This is a two-band/two-stage night that usually has anwhere from 4-600 in attendance in an old ballroom. After the positive results from Fri-Sat, the band realized that they had no chance of adequately serving that room, so we got better FOH (SRX 715's (2 per side) over EV T18s (4 per side), and put on a third succesful show. Best news is that the lead singer (band "owner") got a very good demonstration of what it takes to play the nicer venues in the area, and we'll be sittin down in the next couple weeks to build them a new rig. He's been budgeting for a while and we have a good starting point for a club rig that will serve them nicely. PS...cheap wedges suck...there is no way around it. Luckily the band had good quality sound to work with through FOH, because I spent most of three nights trying to manage enough clear SPL's from the JRX's to keep the singers happy, and I never did quite get what I consider "good" from them. I guess we'll call it a mostly succesful weekend :) [/QUOTE]
