Hi guys,
A friend of mine is looking soon to move into working solo or as the lead and needs his own complete rig. He has asked me to give him some advice as to what to get in terms of speakers and lighting for catering events such as DJ's, bands and general PA hire for crowds up to the 800-1000 mark. He's very well funded so cost is not an issue.
• Must be active
• Somewhat compact
• Easy on the eyes if its a line array (no visible rigging)
• Scalable
• Good mixer section on the wedges for stand alone use
• 6-8 wedges
• 2 drum/side fills
• FOH system small line array that can be pole mounted?
What he has outlined has led me to the QSC KW and KLA series due to the expansive mixer section. I personally haven't used much of the QSC stuff for long periods of time, so I was wondering if you could shed some light on my suggested setup in terms of speakers for him.
• 7 KW122's for wedge and FOH
• 2 KW153's for side/drum fills
• 6 KLA12 for FOH
• 6 KLA181 for FOH
Would you go with the KW/KLA option or would you go with another layout? Here in Aus, Yorkville and JTR are both unheard of so...
Cheers for any help and advice you can give me.
