Re: Behringer line array
So a 4x stack o' B-word on a sub will cost around $7,000. In the likelihood that it will be mis-deployed, that money would be better spent on something like a Danley SH series. It would be almost impossible to screw up and sound better.
See, Jordan, that's where I'm going. This will be popular because it's a "line array".... a CHEAP line array... and that probably 90% of the time it will not cover the intended area correctly, if at all, because of the end user. Take a well designed trap box and sub, though, and it's point and shoot, minimal processing, probably less truck/van space. The term "quality" is nebulous. Quality sound means consistent coverage as well as more subjective impressions of the sonic signature. I'd argue that the farmers and FFA want reasonably consistent coverage over the area they need covered. With a trap box, it's easier to do right. With any adjustable vertical array it's much, much easier to screw up. Why should the farm show get screwed because the system owner can't aim & process the UliSpecial correctly?
This is the same thing that got "NO PEAVEY" on riders. A sophisticated product that lowers the price of entry without raising the technical education of the users is certain to leave a bad taste with those who deal with the results.
