[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 34796, member: 52"] Re: HK Elements Actually, the RMS limiter limits output to about 115 dB for a pair of the top cabinets, with four you could see about 121 dB. Loud is relative, 115 dB at one meter should end up roughly 94-106 dB at 16 meters, plenty for most weddings I've ever been to, but I have never been to a Macedonian wedding ;^). For what it's worth, I built a pair of mini line arrays each using eight 4" NSB (No Stinking Badges) Pioneer speakers (they were 50 cents apiece from Parts Express) and used them on one gig (with subs) before selling them. They sounded better than my expectations, and were plenty loud enough for the event. The line array effect did actually help in the terrible room (a Quonsit hut with plywood sheeting over all the surfaces), with playback at a conversational level at the front mix about 16 meters back, it was rather impressive that you could walk right up below the column and still carry on a conversation. I sold the speakers to a jazz musician who found them perfect for lounge and wedding gigs. I later bought a pair of Renkus Heinz ICX7 which used a complex shading crossover and co-axial speakers, they didn't sound as good (and were not nearly as sensitive) as the NSB columns.
