See there will still be a use for us old guy's in audio. There are those of us who were working when a 6ch Tapco mixer was the big leagues and remember a good bit about that stuff.

I have schemos for all things Peavey from about the 80's. I could scan and post a few things.

James:
I have a PDF version of a Sony MXP61VU manual on my website. This mixer was a very expensive (appx $10k) 12-channel broadcast mixer with individual channel strips. I scanned it in because I didn't find an electronic version of…

Right tool for the job also needs to be considered. V-dosc vers dv-dosc. Depends on the venue. A venue with a short throw, a large vertical area to cover and limited to 1, 1 ton rigging point would be a good reason to chose dv-dosc over…

I am a little biased as I spend a lot of time with L-Acoustics Line arrays. K-1 rocks. Easy to rig. parts are self contained. That being said all line arrays are as good as the technicians that install and tune them. As in most quality tools they…

Your right about that but the clarity I was missing was in the low mids I had plenty of low low but no deffinition.

I completely agree on your Milo assessments. Still my fav. I have to say that I have heard some awfully good sounding Vertec rigs as well (DMB when they still used it for example). It is all about who is steering the ship.

Over the last 2 years I've had the opportunity to mix on most of them. Now let me preface this with I've been the bands engineer, usually in the middle of 4 or 5 acts. So If i get a sound check at all I'm happy. I never got to tune…

I wonder how much a Milo box costs? $15k each? And you will need more of them, and that takes up more space in the truck etc. etc. Carbon footprint would definitely be larger for conventional vs. MLA.

yup i'm on the Milo side. But Nexo Jeo is up next!

I would suggest you to contact your local distributor for a price.
Greg said 25000USD per box, that's a bit high...
And it sold by a plug and play system, with electrical distribution rack, tablet PC, all cables necessary,…

[the smallest system consist of 8x MLA per side, with 4 subs, is not expensive,]
do have any pricing idea for configuration above?
Vincent Buttstedt replied to James Daniels's discussion 'Line Array systems. Which is the 'proverbial' best?'
I thought you had something bigger, line array style...
The companies who buy this, do have a lot more shows, and probably at higher payrate as well, with line-array the prices are higher...
In that case, MLA is out of your league yes. But I…

I have 16 msl3a and 16 upa1a/c I run these over EAW bh800s
the biggest issue with this is the physical weight and truck space, but in reality most shows are 3 a side msl3a over 4 a side eaw la400 subs and this FILLS a 2000 seat theater very…

Which Meyer you have? And what was the total cost of your system if I may ask, give or take?
MLA is big size system yes, however, the smallest system consist of 8x MLA per side, with 4 subs, is not expensive, and I think would do anything…

I work on a whole different level, even a million dollars is more than I have booked total for all the work I have ever done with my sound systems, I could never justify that type of expense, nor would I desire the need to own that as I simply…
