Thank God For Casters... Live Sound PA System Setup

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

What's up audio peeps! In this gig log, we're setting up a live sound PA system at the Hickory St. Annex in Dallas, TX. We had to push our gear up some hills, but lucky for us, everything is on casters!

    Don't stop with these videos mate. This type of content is really lacking on KZread at the moment. A lot of the people tuning in will be DJ's and musicians with gear acquisition syndrome wanting to spend 50K on equipment unnecessarily🙋😂 try and sneek a few pro tips in there and will all keep coming back. Nice work.

    when you pick the predictable cables in your office, then put them in one case. all other cables in the second case. then you only have to pick one case. the other will stay in your van. less stuff to move :) next: your pa is far to large. you must invest all available money in becoming faster in building and removing your stuff. as an example: compare the size, not the price!! but the sound as well: coda audio hops7pro as top, naps sub and an amplifier to you stuff. when you are always 20min faster in pre and after show time needs, then the difference in price is in less then 5 years equal to the cheaper, but larger stuff. next, when you are in this product range, then it is nearly impossibel to be better sounding, only to be cheaper and with worse sound :)

    So, the groom built a "mashup playlist", which I was skeptical about, but he did a really good job surprisingly. All the tracks were level matched and hovered around -19 to -16dB which I happy with! I just got to chill all night.

    Man, I can't get over how professional your set-up is. I'm in a couple of different bands and I'm essentially the only one that knows how to run sound/run a mixer so I have to set up everything. Our stages always look like a spaghetti mess haha. Also, one of my bands is trying to buy a new set of PA speakers, I was recommended the EV ZLX series and saw that you're using them here! Do you use a 12s or a 15s with the subs? What would be your recommendation for a 6 piece classic rock band that typically plays to a couple hundred people? We're not trying to spend a TON of money and have considered going a cheaper route with Harbinger or Mackie, but the EVs are superior quality. Do you think they're worth it? Cheers and keep the vids coming!

    Definitely avoid Harbinger or Mackie, the ZLXs are very good, but I really don't think that even with subs they're adequate to do a rock band for couple hundred. Up to 100ish people, probably a good choice. For any more, I'd go with at least the RCF Art 945-As, if you're really on a budget and have subs, then RCF Art 932-As. They're more expensive but COMPLETELY worth it! I think these are the best sounding speakers in their price range (and maybe even a class higher). And not by a bit... They just wipe the floor with everything in this range. And they can push quite a crowd! If you'd like to stay with EV, I'd go with the EKX line tho. But honestly, they are getting to the price of the RCFs, which sound way better...
