pgh Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Has Klipsch considered producing a line-array system? I was looking at photos of the stage at Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, and they use a large line-array. Not sure who the manufacturer is... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 9, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2012 They are going back to pro models, so they will have something for line array setups when it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artto Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The reality is that the performers (the main act) have their own sound systems and crew to set things up and their own sound personal. That way the sound guys are familiar with the setup and can dial things in quickly. It would be chaos for most performers to have someone else's soundmen and sound systems in venues like this. As hard to believe as it is, they truck their own stuff around in semi's from show to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacea Engineering Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 How True........ The Stones have a Caravan of Tractor trailers with the entire set up. As for House Sound, I am sure that Klipsch is in there somewhere. Check out some of the stuff that Meyer Sound does, as they carry a pretty complete Resume.........On LARGE Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think Glenn, Picky, said he thought the Klipsch Music Center house system uses Meyer Sound. From what I've heard, the smallish line arrays at back of covered section do not do a very good job of filling the venue. I have no idea about other music venues but I think most concerts at KMC use the house system. Where my wife and myself were at for the Pilgrimage Miranda Lambert concert, the sound was plenty loud, maybe too loud at times as it lost clarity. The last time I asked Trey about getting Klipsch Pro to be used in the house system at KMC he said he was working on it. I hope upgrading the sound system to Klipsch is in the licensing agreement. From what others have said from other concerts, the house PA does not adequately cover the lawn. For large arena and stadium tours Artto is absolutely correct. Years ago before it was the KCM I don't think I ever attended a concert that didn't use the house PA. These days I am pretty sure from people who were disappointed in lawn sound or downright pissed off, they were using the house PA. I'm sure most acts bring their own sound engineer.

mark1101 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I just saw Moe and the Allman Brothers last night at Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta last night. I looked closely and they had an all Meyer sound system with line arays for both HF and LF against stone walls projecting into the bowl of the theater. I have to say the sound was excellent. I had never been there before and so I don't know if it was a house system. I'm guessing it belongs to ABB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
