[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 89941, member: 441"] Re: Is it loud enough? OK, and here goes the stuff that was the most fun for me, the "main stage". It was a nice change of pace to see a live music stage and listen to a band after all the dance-floor crazyness :) The sys-tech at the main stage gave me a tour while one band was playing and it was all top-notch, as well. First of all, Randy, you have nothing to worry about! That Outline stuff really works! The sound quality was pleasing to my ears with nice "impact" over the whole audience area. There were 6 subs either side that were set up as two cardiod stacks placed behind eachother in an endfire arrangement. I could hardy believe how quiet it was behind the subs: I would have no issue whatsoever running monitors from right behind one of those subwoofer stacks! The 90 degrees horisontal tops are also cardioid boxes and they also "go quiet" as soon as you step out of the pattern. It was quite impressive, and by just walking 3 meters the difference was tremendous over almost the entire spectrum :) The amps for the line arrays just fill two small racks, and the subs are self-powered (and have a wireless router built in, so they can all be accessed "directly" from a tablet, or whatever!). At FOH they had a Profile and a VI1 console with all lines split analog on stage to reach both preamp racks, on deck somewhere. There was also a Yamaha CL5 on monitors that got the last analog split feeding its RIO rack. The returns from the VI1 (LR + monitors for one act) was run digital from the V1 into the Yamaha/Profile so that all sends could reach the speakers without physical repatching or going analog again, very smooth. The LR signals also ran via a Dolby Lake that was remoted via cat5 and a computer from FOH. The Outline racks all have proprietary processors as part of the amp racks. The monitoring was a combination of IEM and 12 of the new Nexo "line-array" monitors I can never seem to remember the name of. Did get a chance to wander the stage, so no opinion of those. The amps look really clumsy and big sitting next to the super-sleek-looking racks for the Outline line-array, though! [/QUOTE]
