I just got am email from Vegoose Merchandising for some charity thing.

The link has a picture of what may be the main stage:

http://tours.360photographics.com/project/show/13/134

It looks like they have 2 big arrays of JBL Vertec Speakers and 2 small
arrays.

Those are very good speakers any they may be loud enough
but there does not seem to be enough of them to produce a
good quality impressive sound.

Overstreched sound systems are annoying.

Is that right?

So what are they reproducing?

If it's a singer-songwriter with a polite and quiet audience, the PA
system required is somewhat less than a full-up stadium rock band.

With bands such as the Black Crowes and Tom Petty it's far from
singer-songwriter. And the people in the crowd don't look like a polite and
quiet opera bunch.

.
Some countries have laws against sound levels that endanger the public.

Those look like 20 box main hangs. That's a good amount of PA. As long
as there are adequate subs on the ground, it should work ok. Line
arrays can look deceptively small for what they can throw. You can't
tell by the picture if the rig was adequate or not. You'd have to hear
it.

Is that a 421 he's using? I like the white cable on the white mic. Very
alternative.

I just threw up.
Might be a little weak sound around the ferris wheel. I hate ferris wheels.

My thought was that perhaps 12 times as many speakers each played at
about
one twelfth the power level would sound cleaner.

Sound reinforcement does not follow that math model.
Would you expect 1 twelfth the power to go the same distance
regardless of how many cabinets were flown?
Don't forget the expense and space requirements
of 12X the hardware that is shown on that stage photo....

Digable Planets

Great band.

The Magic Numbers

Eeeeeek. VERY dodgy vocal harmonies when I heard them sing live on TV
recently.
