Re: What are good choices for mains that stand alone well and array nicely?
Hi Nathan,
How large of a venue/audience size are you looking to cover with the combined rig?
There are probably many guys here that do something similar with EV QRX212's or SRX722's. They most likely only would go 2-wide in the larger configuration though.
3-wide arrays would take a pretty narrow horizontal dispersion box--which usually puts you in a different league of options and price points. I'm thinking KF650's, SH46's, etc. We're happy Danley SH46 users ourselves. They would absolutely kill it in a bar situation and have plenty of gas to run outdoors on the larger gigs. The downside is that they're probably as heavy or heavier than your Radian boxes and need properly elevated or flown.
If you don't need as much horsepower in terms of SPL, something like the SM60F may be just what you're looking for. A block of four, in a 2x2 configuration, should make a reasonably potent and fairly well behaved array for larger events. The small boxes can easily be split into multiple rigs/configurations and would be easy to get high in a bar on some crank-up stands.
