Re: Bids?


I don't have much advice, but like the idea.  I'm bidding against the following spec for a 4 day event this spring:


(4) EV 15” double folded horn subs - 2 per side

(2) EV Mid-bass

(2) EV HF horns

Soundcraft Delta 24x6 FOH console

FOH Rack 1

(3) Krell KSA250

(4) EV P3000


How do you compete with that?  How do you tell a buyer without any audio knowledge that this is junk?  That not using a crossover to your subs but instead putting all the filters above 100 on a graph to -15 is bad?  This is the exact same system this company was using 20 years ago when I briefly worked for them.


I guess you should try to look at what it takes to do the gig and see if you can come up with a tight set of limitations.  If you actually know what gear the companies in the area have, it shouldn't be too hard to come up with things weed out the stuff you don't want to see. 


What is it that you don't want to see show up?
