david.elsbury Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We have a large and properly setup dB Technologies T4 line array flown system in a room with good acoustics. Anybody is welcome to PM me and arrange a day to come in and hear the system if they have an interest in it. Since I will have to travel in I would ask you cover my hourly rate, I'm not here to make money but I have to cover my way; I'm happy to help if it helps you.I think you should re-read this topic, and consider if you are suggesting a demo of gear in the same league as what the OP is talking about, I think you'll find he's looking for something a little less that a full line array.

Skdimark Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Having owned dB Tech stuff a few years ago, I'm now abusing RCF gear and would be inclined to suggest you go RCF if you can. Nothing wrong with dB Tech, excellent bang for buck, but I prefer the audio quality from the RCF range personally. I have not heard the more recent DVX stuff from db Tech which may bridge the gap but I did get to hear the DVA T4 in a groundstack array and it was fairly impressive. I was never a fan of the SX300 but if you can live with plastic speakers I think it's wise to check out the RCF Art offerings, there is something in there for practically everyone. It's a serious toss up, I agree. It's just that from how much I can invest back into this again point of view. I'm shying away from the SX300's now, as going active will make more sense as I'm transporting it in a car. It definitely looks like RCF are swaying my favor, I must admit. I guess budget is my main factor now. Again, thanks to everyone here for there help, you've really changed the way I think about putting a kit together. :) I think you should re-read this topic, and consider if you are suggesting a demo of gear in the same league as what the OP is talking about, I think you'll find he's looking for something a little less that a full line array. I unfortunately don't need a line array at the moment, I do agree. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skdimark Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sorry guys, just thought I'd give this an update. The PA I've finally decided on (after hearing some more RCF stuff in my local sound suppliers) is this: Mixer: Behringer Xenyx 2442 (10 channels, comp on each channel, fx unit and 4 aux sends) FOH: Eurorack Eq from behringer. 2 RCF 312a and 1 dB Technologies Sub 05. Monitors: Eurorack Eq (again) Peavy PVI 2600 amp 2 Peavy hisys 1's. Luckily I already own a stack of hisys speakers so I should be able to expand to a 4 way mix as time goes on. Again, thanks for all your help with me deciding what I'm going to get. I think the upgrade path for me will be to add another 2 312's and another dB tech sub when funds allow, which should be by the summer beginning. If all goes well, by the end of the year I hope to run a pair of 712's and 2 905as as the FOH, using the 312's as monitors, which will leave the whole system active and should save a lot of space in my car, so I won't have to upgrade to a van. Also, I'll probably upgrade to a 16 channel Dynacord mixer too, but I'll have to check around first as well, like with the FOH stuff, I need to keep my ideas open or else I'll just stay stuck in my old ways of thinking. Thanks again to all of you for your suggestions, I really would not have considered the active route, but by the time I've scaled up to the 712's.. if I was going to emulate the same setup with amps etc, I would definitely need to consider a vehicle change. You have saved me money and a lot of heartache, so pat yourselves on the back on this one! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
