Re: Limiting Within Line Arrays
not to mention it will flat out sound better. in most cases WAY better. IME, a quality rig that is loafing along has a 'sound' to it that is hard to duplicate with anything that is being pushed hard, no matter how high-tech it may be.
In fact, an outdated but oversized, quality rig will outperform a modern but under-sized PA every time. I think for most smaller operations, this is a fact that is overlooked in pursuit of having the 'latest and greatest'.
Obviously, things like rig size and parts availability and lots of other things factor into whether a smaller modern rig is the right tool for the job. But if i were a smaller operation, i'd probably rather have a big ol' pile of KF850s than a 3 or 4 a side 'line array'.
