[QUOTE="Adam Robinson, post: 43936, member: 43"] Re: Peavey Versarray? +2. Tim always has great advice in this department. From a business standpoint, some things to consider: -Choose a box that you can cross-rent in your area if you need to expand your rig just a couple times a year -Choose a system that will grow your business if you're on a growth trajectory -Choose a system that's right for the business you do... just because Brandon doesn't get his Versarray rig turned down in Southern MS doesn't mean that the same might not apply in Atlanta where there are more major players in the game. I worked for years for a band that has a huge "family" following and turned down many systems that providers thought would be "OK" for a kids' show just because the output needs weren't heavy. I typically spec'ed major name flown line arrays because when you're thinking about the sensitivity of our youngest concertgoers, I can't have a stack of trap boxes sitting by the stage blowing levels entirely too loud just so the people at the back can hear. Before large events, I'd get involved in the system design enough to at least spec that our goal was the most consistent SPL possible across the audience area and that line array predictions should try as much as possible to achieve this. Maybe your situation isn't quite as sensitive, but can the Versarray perform this task as well as the tour-grade line array systems? I can't answer that question because I don't know. I've had one experience with Versarray. I wasn't happy with it and thus do not allow it to be spec'ed for shows I do whenever I have the ability to be involved in such decisions. [/QUOTE]
