[QUOTE="Dan Richardson, post: 90860, member: 1599"] Re: Concert Tech on Trains I've done it lots of ways. One on one side, several distributed, a pair as you see them. Access to the stage is in the center in the car the pictures were taken in. It's a pair of facing booths. A tripod would block the entrance completely. Also, some players stand up, and the speaker would be in their face. I used K12s for a while, which was sweet, because when they're on the down-tilt setting, their tops are parallel to the ground. I put foam on top the speaker, run the stand up, and spread the legs to tension it. Everything wedges into place, and the speakers don't budge when the train hits a chunk of bad track. I add a band clamp above the normal clamp. However, I couldn't find anyone to rent me K12s in LA, and hauling them out on the plane was a nuisance. These in the pictures are Nexo 10s that I rent but don't like much. They shoot straight out. With the horn jammed against the ceiling, the phase cancellation of the ceiling bounce is not as big an issue as one might think. I'm seriously considering trying the new Mackie DLM8, and going back to bringing them as checked baggage. I've also bought a Mackie DL1608, which will replace the LS9 that I always carry. Exactly. Compromises on top of compromises, squeezed into the situation. Always interesting, though. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
