Re: Carvin Line Array In StockWhile I certainly don't condone the practice of overselling a constant curve system or a couple line modules as a "line array", there are a lot of gigs where these systems are completely appropriate (and maybe the promoters of a 100-person event who want a "line array" get what they deserve), as real line array function isn't required. I've seen line array boxes a lot more expensive than the Behringer or Carvin used as point sources, so this behavior isn't limited to the low end, either.The big advantage of a vertical array for me is the modularity - my boxes are 50lbs each and I can lift and stack them myself. I don't know of any other SOS box that gives the output and sound quality I currently enjoy that weighs less than 75lbs - about the limit of what I can manage myself. I also generally prefer the 110X30 pattern of my system to the typical 90X45 box.
