[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 26428, member: 67"] Re: Line arrays... JBL vs EAW Based on conversations with JBL employees, I concluded that VerTec processing was a "hot potato" that moved between engineering teams for each preset version. Some of what resulted measured very well as single boxes; some were better at playing with each other but had horizontal coverage issues... Throw in system owners who felt that they were qualified to "fix" what they didn't like about JBL's work, and no 2 VerTec rigs sounded the same. Paul Bauman convinced JBL to "black box" V4. I'm told that V4 presets are simpler in terms of crossover filters but other tweakistry exists. Version 5 was developed on the BSS platform because it uses FIR filters (that are not available in the original I-tech amps or in Harman devices of yore). My crystal ball says V5 will be terminal, no V6. Instead you will see new products along the lines of the new Martin & Turbo offerings. Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
