From time to time, we make updates to our equipment to make sure we have top of the line, high quality equipment for your events.
We are announcing today that later this fall, we will be retiring the 2017 model Yamaha DXR 10 and Yamaha DXS 12 units in our system. These units have been great for us and we love them, but we are making the upgrades to make our setup a little quicker and also keep up on the latest in technology.
Earlier this year, we decided to go away from unpowered setups and replaced them with a JBL rig that provides the same amount of power and is a lot lighter for our crews to haul. Our JBL PRX 812 tops are awesome and are some of the latest in technology that JBL offers in the PRX series. We will be adding 2 PRX subwoofers in the near future to go along with the 812 tops for our larger events.
Coming in October, we will be deploying the brand new Yamaha Stagepas 1K line array system. Line array is very popular at concert venues for sound because the speakers are angled where everyone can hear and also not be completely blown away with a stupid amount of volume. I personally can tell you that our JBL PRX series is quite loud and I have been requested at some events to turn down the speakers. With the Line Array Technology, those speakers will still be able to be heard far away, but the closer you are, it isn’t as harsh on you ears, leading to less of an impact from being close to the speakers. Please note, the speakers are loud and if you are not careful, you could lose part of your hearing, but the line array system we are going to is rated at the most at 119 dB with 0% distortion, meaning the sound will be crisp and clear.
In the next several weeks, we will be moving on to some more changes that are coming at Full Range Group. I am excited for our future and looking forward to the announcements in the next few weeks.
