[QUOTE="Steve Payne, post: 56046, member: 231"] Re: Music Group acquires Turbosound Hi Peter - Rat's Flashline rig came through here 2 days ago. It's out on a national packaged tour called Country Fest. I spent about 4 hours with system tech, Sean Gary, and FOH mixer, Christopher Sullivan. Very savy guys who made me feel right at home. They spent a lot of time tweaking and tuning the rig. It was the smallest array they had hung for the tour - limited to six boxes aside by the load limit of the Applied Towers. They said they had typically been hanging 12, so there was a lot more futzing than normal optimizing the 6 box hang. The results were impressive to say the least. Everything about the rig is what you would expect from Turbo. This system should be capable of running neck and neck with the best that anyone else can offer. Rigging and packaging are top notch. I had to leave about 2pm to go to a show we had at another venue in town. I only got to hear the system with very vocal heavy recordings Sully was using as his reference, which sounded excellent. Great clarity and detail. Incredible warmth and fullness. Really, really nice. Extremely even coverage. It didn't look like a lot of PA, but when you realize there were 66 drivers aside in that short array, you maintain a healthy respect for it's potential. It is really amazing that they can pack that kind of driver count into such a small space and have the result be such a phase coherent, articulate sounding speaker system. My lighting guy went back for the show and said the sound was excellent. He said he'd never heard anything throw like that before. There are definite nose restrictions at this venue, which were pretty much ignored. :-). The performance space is just a big flat area with very little to obstruct the sound from carrying. The word was that they got noise complaints from further away from the venue than they have ever gotten in there 7 year history. Guess it's a good thing they couldn't hang 12 boxes. [/QUOTE]
