[QUOTE="Steve Milner, post: 82924, member: 9"] Re: ESS S-Line I had the chance to mix on this system this past summer w/ Tom providing for a Beer Festival here in DC. Although I was mostly covering monitor duty, (Brian Bolly was out front handling FOH mostly) I did mix a number of the opening acts out front, doing mons from FOH on Tom's M7. First, putting the system together & striking it was really easy... we were ground stacking the boxes on-top of Tom's B2 subs (2x side) using Tom's previously mentioned stacking shim -plate. The cabinets are light enough, and narrow enough, that I could pickup, lift and handle single boxes easily enough. The rigging hardware is simply, intuitive and very easy to work with. Once up and running, the system sounded really good, and got plenty loud outdoors for an audience that swelled to over 8k people each day. Due to the lack of budget to properly fly the rig, we were only really able to cover a few thousand people up close effectively without ripping their faces off... but this really was ok, as it was a beer festival, and we weren't trying to hit all 8k people with stupid rock levels all weekend. Properly flown, I'm sure we would have had the firepower to reach a good bit farther into the venue, without hurting those up close. I'd really like to have a chance to work on these boxes again, properly flown, as the only limitations I ran into were all based on the promoter forcing us to ground-stack in such a deep venue. Otherwise, they were a pleasure to work with, listen to and mix on... I can't imagine anyone turning them down after giving them a listen. It will be really exciting to hear what Tom can get out of a longer line too when he gets more of these built. Pretty awesome stuff for a DIY project! [/QUOTE]
