Re: Behringer line array




i must concur with this as well.  much of this is inherent in the line array concept.  the first line array i ever mixed on was an EAW 860 rig [dating myself here].  i remember we literally took them out of the cardboard boxes and put them up for an outside gig.  we deployed them according to what EAW recommended and i was BLOWN AWAY by how amazing these things were.  next week i put the same rig up somewhere else and i needed to 'adjust' the angles, so i did what i had done with traps for a decade.  i guestimated it.  wow, did that rig turn to feces.  worst sounding pile i had ever heard.  not the rig's fault.  i just didn't know what i was doing.  i quickly learned that eyeballing this stuff doesn't cut it and i got real familiar with computer array calcs real quick.


i think the concerns here are justified.  an entry level line array with adjustable fly angles and variable powering options is gonna invite some really nasty sounding deployments.  some might get it right.  most won't.
