Re: Help with purchase decision


As I posted in another thread, I mixed a show on a pair of FA22AC.  They are amazing.  I think you wrote that they are 60 degrees wide, but actually they are 90x45.

I would not hesitate to use them in a venue like you describe. 


I mixed around 50 shows for Judy Collins in 2012 and 2013.  One was on Fulcrum FA12s and one on Danley SH69's.  Both were great.  I have also mixed one Joan Baez show on Danley SH50's, and it too was fantastic.


I own 2 TS215, 4 FA12, and 2 FA28 which are used for a variety of shows locally when I'm home and is the monitor system for Joan when we tour in the USA.


When I was making my purchase, SM80's weren't out yet, and I felt that the FA box dimensions would offer more versatility than Danley.  I can use them as mains, monitors, or fills.  While Danley may be a little less expensive, I didn't have to buy as many FA boxes to meet my needs, which ultimately saved me money.
