Very nice and impressive. This is also my experience with modern point sources. It is not always necessary to go for a line array. Modern and good point sources are capable of doing a great job. And they are way more easy to handle. So it is always a good idea to chose carefully what is really needed.
Great vlog! I just bought 4 QSC LA112 line array speakers and couldn’t find any good videos of those global truss stands in action so that I could consider buying them to support two line arrays per side, but this video did the job. Thanks!
@@tomworrell4059 I'm very happy with them. I used to run with K12.2 speakers for mains but I needed a bit more power. I feel good about the choice I made.
Are there any speakers you could recommend that are similar in size, volume, and coverage to your Meyer ultra x40's? I would like to just be able to use one per side. I see that RCF makes a few wide dispersion compact speakers similar to the Meyer ultra x40's. Thanks
I think the most comparable would be Danley SM80s, but they are not powered, weigh a little more, and don't have the dispersion. I still have dbtechnologies IG3Ts and IG4Ts. They definitely pack a punch, and can be arrayed for larger gigs (2 per side). Till I got the Meyers, I used those. The main reason for getting the Meyers was to have more SPL on a pole without having to double up (groundstack or fly) the IGs. Another option to look at could be the RCF TTW4A's. They have about a 100 degree dispersion, but weigh about 67 lbs.
Very impressive. I have X42s but haven't had the chance to open them up like this for a gig. I'm also very curious what kind of coverage I can get with them.
@@inthemixls @stereoanthony, My company has the x40 and x42 in inventory. You will notice slightly more output from the x42 due to its pattern. The ultra is a great box and packs a lot of punch for its size. We recently added some Danley sm80 into inventory and use them over the ultras for events like this where we need the extra output. We found the 80 to get a solid bit louder and hold together a bit better over distance. It also seems to handle being bombarded by a number of sources at once a little better. The x40/42 are the choice for stand alone use because they do well without subs for lighter music. I am glad we have some really great choices in the market.

Appreciate the comment and glad I could help! I got to listen to those LA112's, they were awesome in the demo I had.
how do you like the LA112s? we are looking at line arrays rn and thats one of the options

@@StereoAnthony my guess is the x42 may even be better for depth coverage because of the more focused horizontal pattern.

@@JohnMazinger between the sm80 and x40 which one has better sound quality (better speed, accuracy, tonal balance and not harsh)?
