Re: Danley demo on 11/13 in Atlanta
Since my time on site at the Masquerade was limited to 35min in the afternoon, and an hour of ATL's set with my wife, I don't have much to add to Evan's sonics characterization except to say that I agree with it. It should be said that he and I generally see eye to eye on such matters. I wasn't there for them really pushing it pre-show, but it was loafing during the actual show. It should be mentioned that every time I step foot in that place I worry about it falling down around me.
Everything about this is setup was an improvement over doing this several years ago. Using one super-loud source is an improvement over an array of boxes, even those designed to play well together.
The trade off here is ultimately about how the mass of the PA is broken up. The aggregate mass of this system is low for the output, but it is distributed in a few really big chunks.
The J3 is really intriguing, and its going to be great in stadiums. It is 3 850's worth of output stuffed in a box less than 2x the size of an 850. I genuinely expected it to be bigger.
Finally, Danley's really got their bedliner-based finish down nice. The cabinet appearance is miles ahead of when they first introduced a bedliner coating. Hopefully Ivan posts a picture of the pretty blue monitor wedge I saw lurking.
