[QUOTE="Adam Ellsworth, post: 89063, member: 401"] Re: Line array for 1500 cap venue I've already advised them of that. That's why I'm starting relatively early... it's going to be 6 months before anything gets hung, so that gives us time to have feelers out for a used system if we go that route. All true, but for the scope of this thread I'd like to keep this focused on main PA only. I didn't want to write a book on what I've done so far, nor expect a comprehensive guide to designing a venue, because everyone's time is more valuable than that. Just trust that most of the things raised in this thread are already addressed. I and others provided a lot of feedback early in the process on power and logistics and their architect did a really nice job. Already met with structural engineer and overestimated our rigging loads. Only thing I couldn't get was a loading dock. :-( But it will mostly be bus/trailer shows anyway and we've even got shore power covered :-) Basically, I've been sketching PA ideas in a vacuum and really needed some 2nd opinions to see if I'm on the right track or not. You're dead on... The owners visited First Ave and other similar-sized clubs from Fargo to Vegas for ideas. But I'm embarrassed to say I have not even been there... I feel like I've worked every weekend for six years, so I don't even know what's outside of town anymore. A trip would be a good idea. [/QUOTE]
