[QUOTE="Jeff Kenney, post: 89286, member: 3954"] Re: Line array for 1500 cap venue I know who Evan is. I'm a little shocked and people backing up such a generalized statement when usually quite the opposite occurs. I have used short LAs more than a few times for our events. I can name one situation where the venue actually has an award for one of the best sound systems in the world - Ministry of Sound. We have also used the same configurations on our smaller stages at larger outdoor events (altho that is NOT as typical these days) 4 boxes of VDOSC is actually only 15 degrees of coverage in L'acoustics recommended maximum curvature.. but you can go beyond this when the world is perfect (when is it in audio?) A short line is still an ideal tool in my kit when the room is right.. When is the room right? Well when it is not very wide and not very deep.. a 1300ish person room of about 80' wide and 90' deep would be a good sized room for such a rig. Trim height would be much lower than you normally would fly your array because of the coverage angles. (so hey a low ceiling room is also ideal for this.. say of about 15' or so) Or.. lets face it this type of rig is happening in a room with a budget... so sitting on stage is more than likely a possibility.
