It’s hard to think of a worse feeling than knowing the value of what you’ve purchased doesn’t live up to the dollars you traded for it.
Most of us simply want a quality, reliable, and pleasing sounding set of speakers that get the job we’re asking them to do done well. That job may be your Kindergartner’s school play, your weekend warrior country band, or a packed out arena.
We’re bombarded in all directions with sly marketing promises and pseudoscience - how can we sift through the noise and make decisions using pertinent, foundational metrics?
Today I unpack 10 key categories that help you make informed, conscientoius decisions when selecting the right speaker for your gig (regardless of budget).

A note about speakers with integrated amplifiers: I currently use self-powered speakers-on-sticks. A couple times I've used them outdoors, and show setup required the speakers to be placed in direct sunlight. Those amplifier plates got HOT in the sun, and then eventually the speakers started going into thermal protection mode. When using a system outdoors, I want the amps separate so they can be placed in the shade somewhere, with an effective fan. Thus, my next speaker system is going to be powered separately. I built some high-output dual-18 subwoofers from a design by 18 Sound. I power them with a Powersoft amp set to provide appropriate system EQ and crossovers, and they sound amazing. Much better than my self-powered EV subwoofers!
Great video! I'm glad people have someone like you to walk them through all the considerations before they make the big investment in a new PA.

Thanks a ton, James.
such a super helpful video! Keep em comin!
Thanks for the breakdown! Being on the younger side and trying to learn more and more about system design and optimization, this definitely helps me streamline my thought process in seeing a venue and it's measurements and knowing how to process that info into a consistent system.
Hello how do in place my subs in a show where by the only option is to place my subs besides walls
Have you ever messed with the EAW Adaptive stuff? We have the Anna's and they're pretty wild with the coverage front to back, while also being able to shoot down 90 degrees.

I've only heard one EAW Adaptive rig for about 20 minutes. Two Anyas per side. I like the concept in theory and thought the rig sounded great, but want to get my hands on it!

@@MichaelCurtisAudio We have three Anna's per side with a center QX, along with three SBX218 in an end-fire array. It sounds great and has amazing coverage!
