First time @ this venue last night for a 40th wedding anniversary. I had no idea how small this place was. Had I know I might have just brought the 2-way 15" JBLs! But noooooooooo, I had to bring it all. Maybe 75 people at most in a pretty small room were treated to the rig running at about half power (by the end of the night)
At first I was just going to use 2 Growlers, but decided *screw it* and set all 4 up. I went vertical with them so I could put one of the 212 Otops up and use the smaller stand I usually use for the lights because there just wasn't enough room for three full tripod stands. The setup was a little weird being in the large doorway with the storage area behind me but I was able to build a cool fort using my facade.
How I WISH I had this last night. The exact opposite happened to me.
I usually do (did, really) smaller stuff since the rooms aren't always that big, two jacks and three titans handled it, once in a while I would need four and four.
So they told me it was a regular place and turns out he hadn't even seen it either and was just going by what he had been told. Again
Turns out it was out in the boonies in HUGE barn house, and oh yeah, they wanted it loud. I mean, JUST the stage itself was half the size of what I'm used to doing. Oddly enough, my amps were the limiting factor since it was hot and humid and with no a/c, it meant my xls' kept thermalling during sound check. However, I finally got everything leveled out and everything actually went really smooth.
EDIT: for reference this is my friend that I did his wedding that told me that I would need my six titans and four jacks and I ended up using one jack per side and three titans and my my xls 402 the whole night, so I figured what could go wrong...
