[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 89937, member: 441"] Re: Is it loud enough? Hello guys. The graduees went to visit a big event in my home town this weekend and I went to visit Helge and a few other techs there. I took some photos before the crowds really gathered and thought I'd share them here. I'll make three posts, the first one with pictures from Helge's setup, the second with various fun stuff from the three "dancefloor circles" and lastly some photos from the main stage of the event, which is a typical (but very nice) festival-style stage setup for bands and various entertainment hosted by the organizers (the "dancefloor circles" are entirely brought in and run/financed by the kids in the fanciest party-buses). I'm sure Helge can share more about how "his" setup is run. I can confirm that his super-neato driverack from another thread works! The rig was very impressive, but honestly, it was too loud and too close for me to really be able to [I]listen[/I]. All top-of-the line JBL gear being beautifully muffeled by hearing protection... The low end goes straight through the plugs, so still very, very loud! One fun experience was when I visited Helge's "tech-tent" right behind the JBL rig we were wearing ear plugs and screaming our lungs out to communicate. As soon as the "next-door" system switched off it felt like dead quiet - even if the JBL stuff was going full-tilt! Very cool! One hillarious thing I noticed about the rig was that on this setup they had actually put the DJ on a small stage ON the dancefloor. That's right, in front of all those subs and two big line arrays. The hillarious part was the 10(?) inch floor wedge he had at his feet. I'm sure he heard that thing REALLY well! :lol: Oh, yeah. "Obviously" they've made all this circus into a competition. It's actually well-judged by professionals and safety and rigging plays a bigger part than audio quality and general appearance. And the system Helge had deployed and watched over caught first place! So congrats to you, Helge! [/QUOTE]
