- In this video I try to shed some light on how many people the RCF NX45's & RCF 8004's cover. The short answer is A LOT! For the price & size & portability of this system, it is in my opinion, a MUST HAVE!
I have easily handled crowds in the 800+ range without any complaints. If the crowd noise could be kept very low, I believe it could cover even more people. Possibly 1500 - 2000 for a "Speaking Event".
Don't sweat it! This system gets loud!

This small format system can cover a really nice crowd with plenty of headroom left! It sounds like a big boy PA but is very small & portable. Check it out!
Allen Rolle - I am currently using a Midas Pro 1 with the Midas DL153 stage boxes. I absolutely love it!
@@soundasylumlive4421 hey. was your subwoofer in punch mode?
@@carlotheatheist - Hey Carlo, Yes. I mostly ran the subs in Punch Mode unless I was inside a small place with terrible acoustics and the low end was too strong. Then I would tame the sub down. Good question!
I have the 8004 but use the NX24a... fabulous. Centre coupling the subs is great... but the my band are older musicians- I’ve added a 3rd rear facing 8004 to create a cardioid bass setup! Not tested yet but once lockdown is through, I will be!
Fantastic videos... and yes- I’m right with you on just how good this kit is!!
Just imagine indoors, Fantastic.
My system is similar but more compact and half the price. RCF HD-35A mains and RCF 705ASII subs and it is also a fantastic sounding system. I use a Soundcraft Ui24R and an android pad to control it all. It fits in my Subaru Forester like a glove.
That’s awesome!
Impressive boxes. Just a suggestion get yourself a pair of global ST132 stands and crank those boxes up 10 ft or more for shows like that.HUGE difference! Get them up high!
Yes that was the plan and K&M also makes a “Tilt” adapter to give the box a 5-15 degree down tilt. Unfortunately, the shows have been affected by the pandemic and the stands have been put on the back burner.
Thanks for the recommendation! Spot on!
Awesome mix bro
Thanks Rob! Midas Pro 1 console.... so good...
Hi OPAZ Could you please do a review on RCF NX 32a speakers cheers
Hi, thx for the video! Which mixer is of best use with the rcf boxes? Best regards!
Impressive 👍
Thanks!
thanks for the demo , RCF is a very good brand, I use the esw 1018 and it hits really hard.....
Awesome! Would love to hear that sometime.
Good video, your recording sounds great too, what did you record with at the live gigs? The bottom end is solid. 🙂
Thanks! I recorded this one of two ways and honestly, I don’t remember but it was either straight up iPhone X built in mic OR I used the Shure Motiv MV88 mic attachment for iPhone. The Shure Motiv wouldn’t always work right for some reason but when it did, I got decent recordings. For fun, I decided to not use the mic attachment and just roll with the built in mic on the iPhone and I have to say, I like it better that way. Haven’t used the Shure Motiv since. The newer iPhones or any phone, have gotten so much better over the years.
I try to pick a spot that sounds good to my ears, usually somewhere out in the center a ways back so you get even sound from both sides of the speakers and hit record. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment!
Thanks for taking the time to post such a informative video! Our band is trying to upgrade our PA for outdoor events. We currently use two QSC KW 153"s (1 per side) With 4 KS118 Subs. We planned on adding one more KW153 per side. I recently spoke with a RCF rep who told me one NX45 per side would outperform two KW153's per side. Do you have any experience with the KW153 speakers? If so could you share your opinion on how the two compare?
I have mixed on the KW 153’s and thought they were “ok”. I really prefer not to if possible. They were fine when they first come out but they just don’t compare in fidelity to the newer speakers out today. They may get as loud but the harmonic distortion gets to be too much. They also have a conical shape horn on them if I remember correctly and when paired up side by side with another KW completely interfere with each other unless the “splay” is set correctly. So you don’t get more out front coverage but more horizontal coverage out to the sides. If that is the goal, they may work better for the job.
I have had such great luck with RCF that to me, they are a great speaker at a better price than say, Meyer, L Acoustics, EAW, Fulcrum Acoustics, Danley (LOVE DANLEY), etc. There are no question better sounding speakers out there with better coverage area and so forth but it will cost you a lot more. The RCF’s have great fidelity, have FIR filters in the DSP and are super portable. Just my opinion of course. The KW153’s don’t pole mount well if at all, are heavy, don’t play nice side by side with each other (unless the splay is correct) and are over 10 years old now in technology.
BUT..... if that is all I had and could afford, I would try my best to make them sound good and you will be just fine. Thanks for commenting!
its incredible how those 2 way boxes can handle the drums, guitars, and the voices at the same time!!!
They really do. I have never seen the clip lights activated on these boxes and I have had it up pretty loud at times. Good stuff!
@@soundasylumlive4421 hi.. how can i get in touch w you? !!! Never thought that 2 tiny speakers can do the job..this is crazy :) cant believe it :)
@jose. You can contact me right here. Is there anything I can help you with?
@@soundasylumlive4421 well i was really impressed w the sound quality :) what did you do w the sound of the snare ? Everything is so balanced,,, and recording w just a phone, how did u do that? Thanks a lot
@@josealvinpalas4454 - I mic the top and bottom of the snare. I used a Sennheiser e604 for the top snare and all the drum Toms. I also used a SM57 on the bottom of the snare with the polarity reversed. Very important....
After that, hopefully the drummer has a nice sounding snare to start with but I then usually add a touch of 180-200Hz on the snare to thicken it up. I may cut some in the 500Hz region (totally depends.... sweep around a bit) and see if that gets me what I need. From there I add a Plate reverb to the Top and Bottom snare. I usually don’t have to push much of the bottom snare up in the fader compared to the top snare. It is a balancing trick. Same with the plate reverb on it as well. That is pretty much it.
I used an iPhone XS and that was it. The RCF rig is legit. I have a Midas Pro 1 console, so it is a legit Pro desk and I have been mixing daily for over 10 years. Had great mentors and worked for a big audio group. What really helped me was the ability to record shows and then play the recording back through the system or while at home, through headphones or studio monitors..... you can then SOLO out an instrument and really did into EQ, compression, gating, frequency dependent gating or compression and finally effects. Hope all this helps! Thanks!
We need more videos! What would you recommend for the mobile Dj? Not trying to break the bank. I was looking at the RFC 8. Or Bose L1. Then I looked at Mackie tops 12 and 15 subs ….. so many flavors to choose from. I’ll be using it for DJ ing events weddings 50-300 people.
Sorry for the delay Michael. I have and use a RCF Evox J Mix and J8 for acoustic gigs and it is pretty powerful. Has a lot of bass. I’m not sure about Dj-ing with it though. Small crowds it would be fine but large crowds where they really want you to get it going? It may stress it a bit. I used to own some Mackie Thumps (15’s) and unless they have really revamped them, I wouldn’t buy another pair. However, I mixed at a venue once where they had QSC K12.2’s and was pleasantly surprised at how well they handled the full mix and at decent volume.
I haven’t done any videos in a long time. The “pandemic” forced the audio company I worked for to lay us off and I moved to Florida to start over. Just playing music on the beach now. :) keep researching and hopefully you will find some good speakers.
@@soundasylumlive4421 thanks for the response! Sometimes layoffs are for the best, I have been through it… it always works out! Thanks for the info.
Do you have any experience with the Art 9 series or any of the slightly cheaper cabinets from RCF? I don’t really have the budget for this system yet but I want to buy once cry once and I was looking at the Art 932a’s as my tops and then 708-as II subs. This would be mainly used for a full band application.
Those boxes will still sound great so if that is in your budget, I would get those and get busy doing shows. Rock them for a year or two and sell them and upgrade to the next level. Thanks for commenting! You will be fine with those boxes.
Hey Jerry love your vids, what I love most and I’m not a drummer is your killer drum mix. Is there any chance that you would share your eq and compression settings. I’m a keyboard/guitarist in our band but also mix other bands with my RCF Evox 12 system. The drums sound alright but nothing like this, especially with a iPhone. Would appreciate it very much. Love watching your videos and keep them coming!
Hey Rick - I have an Evox JMix8 and a Evox 8 that I currently use for my acoustic shows now. Great little system. It's hard to say what it is you are experiencing with that system as far as a drum mix goes.... Honestly, how I improved my mixes was by live recording the shows. I knew if I had the ability to play the recording back through the system, I could get it to sound better. So in the beginning, I would SOLO out the kick and listen.... most of the time I would make a cut around 500Hz and dip it out... sometimes a FULL cut. Then I would sweep it down towards 200Hz or even further. That got the BOX sound out of it. Also, once I got the boxiness out of it I would put another EQ filter on 100Hz with a more narrow cut... This got rid of any excess "Tubbiness" or "BOOF". For the TOP end Click sound, I boosted anywhere from 5k on up to 10k until I got the SNAP I was looking for. Not everyone wants to hear the kick drum in an overwhelming way and I felt that using cuts in these areas and sweeping them around helped me to control it and put it in the mix better. Same process for the TOMS. Snare I boosted 200Hz a little with TOP and Bottom Mics.... Sennhesier e604's on the whole kit. Kick drum got the Sennhesier e902... love that mic. It did what a beta 52 in the hole plus a beta91 on inside did but only took one mic to do it. Plate reverb on Toms. Same plate reverb I use on vocals... snare got it's own dedicated plate verb. Compression???? I always started with a 3:1 compression ratio, fast attack... can't remember release time but most like fast to medium release... 60ms to 100 ms.... not sure because I haven't look at the settings in several years... LOL... After a while, you mix more with your ears than what the settings say but that comes with doing so many shows... Maybe I can look up the settings I used on my Midas Pro 1 and do a video about it. It would have to be in the virtual offline editor of the desk since I no longer have the Pro 1. I have downsized and sold most of my gear off because of the "pandemic" and now play acoustic shows on the beaches of Florida.... So, if you can record your mixes, start remixing shows at home where you can SOLO out the tracks and listen.... make changes, really turn those knobs so you can hear what they are doing...etc... create a mix... save it.... go to the next gig with that band, pull the saved settings up and see if you got improvement. Rinse and Repeat... Hope this helps! I will see if I can find any screenshots of my mix settings.
@@soundasylumlive4421 Thank you so much Jerry appreciate it very much. I’m from Wisconsin and we have an RCF dealer about 40 minutes away and after listening to your video with the NX24’s and the 8004’s, I’m thinking this is what I need for outdoor gigs. Besides running sound for some bands at small clubs I play in a 5 piece 70’s/80’s cover band. We play quite a few outdoor gigs during the summer, so think these will do the job. My sister-in-law and brother moved to Venice Beach. Anywhere you playing close to there, would love to see a show! I have a couple of good friends that do solo and duo gigs in Florida. They’re both transplants from Wisconsin. Thanks again!
Sounds excellent for live band out doors. Can you tell how does it sound when five musicians play and sing along? Your thoughts on Bose f1 model with 812 sub woofer? Which one will be a better choice for live band out door and indoor set up (5 instruments with 5 vocal)? Thanks for much informatives videos.
Sorry for the slow response. Super busy the last few weeks. I have had 7 open vocals mics going and never an issue. I can’t really say much about the Bose setup you mentioned because I have never heard one. Would love to though. Just keep in mind the type of mics you use for example... cardioid or super cardioid because they each require you to place the monitor either on-axis with the mic or monitors at the 10 & 2 O’clock position. From there, you can ring out the monitors and hopefully achieve good gain before feedback. Hope that helps!
@@soundasylumlive4421 sure it helps! Thanks heaps!
Hi there, great video. Have you tried the EV ETX-18sp series and if so, how do they compare to either 8003 or 8004 RCF models ?
Sorry for the delay in response.... I have not heard those but I am always eager to listen to speakers. The 8003 is surprisingly a great sub. The 8004's just kick butt for a single 18".
Hi… I’m looking at getting the same speaker setup. What are your thoughts concerning the NX45 vs the HDM45…? Thank you for the informative post!
When I first looked at RCF speakers for myself, the ART 745 was in my price range. The TT6 was way expensive and for the most part, not practical for the shows I was doing. Well, for local bands that is. I was told by the RCF rep to wait for the NX45 because it was going to be a “Baltic Birch” model and would sound better. When they came in, we compared the ART 745 to the NX45 and they both sounded great. However, the ART 745 was the composite box and I thought it lacked the tightness and clarity in the Low Mid section compared to the Baltic Birch NX45. I have not heard the HDM45 yet but like anything RCF does, it has to be killer. It looks to be a composite made box. The output is crazy! It also has RDNET. RDNET on most boxes, drives up the cost around $750 per box. Plus you have to have the Dongle (RCF Control 2 or 8 Interface) plus a bunch of cat 5 or 6 network cabling. I never found that to be too useful for a set of Tops and Subs. For a line array with subs and side fills, front fills, then it would be crucial to have. With that said, maybe skip a RDNET speaker box for another one like the NX45 or even the new 3-way box, NX985-A? Just throwing that out there. Down side of that is it can get heavy to lift by yourself and may not pole mount very well.
For a single box, Baltic Birch with No RDNET, the NX45 is the best I have found. 54 or 55 pounds, pole mounts well. The next step up from there is the TT family of speakers and they all have RDNET. Not much gain for me there.
Well, I hope this helps a little. Thanks for commenting!
Great content and demo of the RCF gear. Question for you, how do you feel these compare with the EV EKX-15p and the EKX-18sp pairings considering the notable price difference?
I have not heard that brand of EV’s. To be more fair though, it would be a better comparison to get the price range close to each other (whatever make & models between the two that match up) and then compare.
I have heard some EV 12 & 15” speakers that are closely compared to the QSC K12’s or even the KW122’s and the RCF NX45’s completely blow them away. The RCF’s are the real deal. Just great speakers....albeit expensive. Not as expensive as others though like Yamaha Nexo’s, L-Acoustics, EAW’s, Meyer or Fulcrum Acoustics....
@@soundasylumlive4421 Thanks for the reply. The EKX line of EV's are their next to top tier of powered subs and tops similar to the RCF ones you have. The ETX line is their highest spec but the EKX are supposedly very very close to the ETX line without the weight. 1500W tops and 1300w subs... and that is not peak but actual RMS watts. I do love me some RCF though.
@@kcartwright2772 - I would love to hear them. I enjoy listening to as many speakers as possible.
What are the lights you’ve got on the speaker tops to light the stage? Any links to it please
Blizzard Hot Boxes RGBW’s. I placed two of them on each top.... one shooting across the front of the stage to light up the musicians and the other light back towards the drummer. Same for the other side.... front lights mostly get white or peach colors because it looks best on people. Yellows, purples and greens just look bad shining on faces. Back row lights have three Hotboxes per tree plus two 4-plays (Chauvet). I used two trees for the back lights because I was doing a lot of shows in venues that had a corner stage and it was easier to place them along the walls. A 15-20’ truss wouldn’t work well in that situation. I then used MyDMX2.0 as my light program.
Hope this helps!

Thank u for great review
I have rcf art 735 looking forward to upgrade to new 935 or NX 915 (wood)
And going to add 2 subs 8003 as2 (dont have enough budget for 8004)
What will be your recommendations ?
Thank u in advance
I would go with the birch boxes if possible. I have done side by side comparisons in the past of wood versus plastic or molded boxes and the birch ones always excel in the Low Mid range. It is just tighter and more musical sounding to my ears. There is nothing wrong with those 8003’s. They sound great. The 8004’s can take a little more punishment though. Thanks for commenting!
Great stuff, what mixer are you using?
Coaster Freek - an amazing Midas Pro 1 with the Midas DL 153 stage boxes. It has this tone to it that I can’t get over. You just got to be there to really hear the thing. So good!
Is it worth upgrade nx32a to tt22a ii will not play loud only at 60 percent most for indoor. Thanks!
Nope. If you are only playing at 60%, then I would just stay there. Take a look at my other comments to you and you will see why. Thanks for asking!
Great sound. ! If you had bigger Budget What Pa system you recommend for crowds of 500 or more .What the lighting system behind you"re using ?
Hi Albert - there was around 500 people at the show in this video. If I had a bigger budget, I would go with the RCF TTL6’s and the RCF TT36 Subs. That would take you up to several thousand people. Especially if you could get the Tops up in the air using Genie Lifts or something.
I use a lot of RCF stuff because that is what we have at where I work. I love the support we get from them and we get the speakers at a great price. I would never be opposed to going with a different brand if money and service wasn’t an issue. There are a lot of great sounding systems out there today.
The lighting system I use is the most basic I could afford. I use 10 Blizzard Hotboxes... fantastic little light and built like a tank.... never an issue. The other lights are Chauvet 4 - Plays... not the best light but I have had them for 10 years and they still work. They work well in smaller venues. The lighting software I use is MyDMX and I also use a Blizzard Lightpipe Splitter to keep the brand of fixtures separated. That way I am not daisy chaining through every single fixture. The 4-plays are on an output, the Hotboxes in the back are on a separate output, and then the front lights are on a separate output. Never a problem that way.... thanks for commenting!
@@soundasylumlive4421 Thanks for your advice much appreciated. What Stage monitors are you using.? What do you recommend ?? thanks.
@@albertspano1894 - I use three different brands of speakers for monitors. Alto TS212’s, QSC K12’s and RCF HD32’s. In my opinion, the RCF’s SMOKE the other two brands by a long shot. Power and clarity!
The TTL6's would be a great choice, but those cabinets are about $5k each. The genie lifts are about another $2k for each side. Fairly large jump in investment. If you wanted to get into the line array game the HDL6 is an amazing cabinet, however you need at least 3-4 of them per side. You could also get the NXL24a. I did a video of those cranked up and they sound amazing.
Hi Great Video . Quastion what do you think is better to get 4 RCF 8003 as mk3 or 2 RCf 8004 mk2 .Thanks
Great question.... I would take the 8003's over the 8004's IF I could have four of them. If I could work it to where I had three 8004's vs. four 8003's, I would do that as well. I like to center couple the subs as much as possible. It eliminates comb filtering but I know that it can't be done in all venues. Thanks for commenting!
Digging your content. You should post some new stuff!
I'm struggling to decide between the NX45 boxes and the NXL-44A or maybe even the 24A units with a pair of 8004s.
Any thoughts on those?
Good question.... I’m not sure on that. I would like to hear each of them first. Those came out after the NX45’s did and I never got to demo those. Honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them as far as sound quality goes. Portability has always been an issue for me since I was the only guy doing any of the sound loading in and out plus mixing for bands. I always wanted a pair of TTL6’s. Those things are so bad ass..... but they are expensive and heavy and you can’t really pole mount those very well. Too much of a risk.... I really like the new 3-way NX 985-A’s but then again.... are they too heavy? Can you pole mount them safely? I guess if I got another set of 8004’s and stacked them then I could stack the TT6’s or 985’s on them and be good to go... I just kept it simple for my own personal rig and if I needed a bigger system, I just pulled one from where I worked at. The pandemic put me out of that job and I sold all my gear and moved to Florida. I now play music on the beach and use a RCF Evox rig with a Midas MR rack mixer. Super simple and the wife and I are having a blast doing it. Wish I had more time to do videos but I don’t know what others would want to hear except reviews and demos. I no longer have access to that gear otherwise I would. Thanks for commenting!
@@soundasylumlive4421 Hi there ! I have 4 RCF NX 985-A. They are a bit heavy, 45 kg each. I pole mount them on K&M 213 Crank housing speaker stand. These stands are so great and can carry up to 50 kg. I can lift the RCF NX 985-A just with one finger with K&M 213. The NX 985-A sound fantastic,they have crisp clean mid and high frequencies and a deep bass. I also have 2 FBT HORIZON VHA 118.2 SA subwoofers and they are beasts. Yesterday ordered another pair of HORIZON subs and hope to get them within 3 months. I believe that will be a very powerful system even for outddor events.
Your system sounds really nice by the way.
@@pajtimdj Thanks! I would have loved to have more subs but honestly, at the time I worked for an audio company and had access to as many as I wanted... Lol... Also, the NX 985-A's didn't exist when I bought my NX45's but I would have loved those even better. Then again, I had access to TT6's so there's that.... Glad you have a nice system! Makes mixing so much more fun.
I'm buying a system made up of RCF Art912 + 8003 AS II, will I have a similar result? congratulations for your work!
Yes very similar especially indoors. Outdoors it may be pushing it unless you can get the crowd in closer to the stage. I would mix on it any day.
Nice cover of peter gabriel
They are a party band called "Monster Lane" located in Central Illinois. Great band!
What mixer are you using? What recording device are you using? It weird when I listen closely I feel like I am hearing the reverb in the stereo field so I was wondering if you mixed off the board plus the live mix from the camera and combined them. Sounds amazing by the way no matter how you are doing it. I bought NXL44-a Mk2's last month and now I am considering the NX45-a for a different system because they seem to be going down in price because of the new 945's just released. The system I am building will be for weddings and I want something that's easy to handle by myself. I was thinking the NXL24-a MK2 or the NX45. They are the roughly the same weight and the output seems comparable. Thoughts?
Midas Pro 1 with 2 - DL153 stage boxes. The interface to record live is a Klark Teknik DN9630 (AES 50 to USB converter) right into a MacBook. I have both, the board recording of the band that played the Whitesnake tune and an iPhone recording. What you hear in the video is an iPhone 6 recording with a Shure MV88. I now have an iPhone 13 Pro and don't even bother with the Shure mic attachment. The NX45's will do great for weddings. I have not hear the NXL24's. I no longer work for the audio company where I got to play around with all the RCF stuff. That is relatively new speakers since I was in the game. I think you will be fine with either of those speakers. I wouldn't be afraid to use any of the RCF stuff. Thanks for commenting!
How many subbass (8004as) are there in this concert?
Two single 18” boxes. Crazy!
Quick question please....NX45 or NX32/ART932A/ART945A for use with Multiple female/male singers, live band . Any input appreciated.
The NX series are made of Baltic Birch and they do sound better particularly in the low mid range. All in all, ANY of those boxes are going to do the job. I favored the NX45’s out of all of those because they are beefier and I feel they handle a full range of musical information better. A full live band that is....
Thanks! I opted for the NX32/8004s just as a preference with three female lead vocalists in the same band. Love you videos! Thanks for the excellent response. Will report after our Iune 10th gig.
@@sounddecision3521 Awesome! Yeah would love to hear how it goes.
Is it worth upgrade to Nx tt22a ii ,25tta ii?
I thought about it often but for what I do, it just didn’t make sense. The higher TT line just costs way more and it really won’t be a night and day difference overall for the boxes you mentioned. Also, RDnet capabilities add another $750 or more dollars per box. Totally not necessary for this small portable rig. I chose to put more money into a professional mixing console and have no regrets. Good luck and keep hammering away!
What do you charge per night for a setup like this
Sorry for the delay Ron. $300-$500. If all day event with multiple bands, anywhere from $500-$700. I’m located in central Illinois.
Hi can you crossover the 8004 sub? I'm abit confussed as on the description it says no xover option, but on the back of the cabinet it has a xover option?
So sorry for the slow response. The 8004 has a built in crossover option. I believe it is set at 100Hz so if you go out of the crossover out on the sub it will apply a 100hz high pass filter to the Top. If you go out of the outputs that don’t say crossover out, the “Signal Link” output, the top speaker is allowed to do whatever it does in the lower frequencies and no high pass will be applied to it.
So there is now way to manually set your crossover points on these boxes since they have already done it in the DSP in the amp module. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!
@@soundasylumlive4421 Thanks mate! Appreciate it. What do you think of the 8003asii? I'm deciding between x4 8003's with x4 art935s or... x2 8004's with x4 935s or even 2 935s.
@@Vlade.Jovanoski.Official - I have indeed listened to the 8003’s. Although the specs aren’t quite like the 8004’s, I was still impressed by them. They seemed very musical... I’m not sure if the sub ratio is equal between 2 - 8004’s to 4 - 8003’s. Seems that the 8003’s at that quantity may take the 8004’s. Not 100% certain on that but I would sure like to know. Would the price be equivalent as well?
The ART series boxes are great. Let me take a look at the exact speakers you are talking about and I will post back before further commenting.
@@Vlade.Jovanoski.Official - okay here are my thoughts. You need at least one sub with each top. But if you can afford more subs, say two subs per top, that would be best. Any chance you can step up the Top box to a Art 945a or even an NX45 like mine? I think you are on the right track but unless you really need side coverage to the audience, one good set of tops can cover a wide area. 4 can can cause interference if not splayed correctly.
If you can only get two subs, then I would opt for the 8004’s. 4 - 8003’s would really do nice as well. See what you have budget wise and go for it. You really can’t go wrong with you are considering buying.
@@soundasylumlive4421 Thanks for that, i've decided to go
x2 8004's
x2 art945's
Not sure if i need fill speakers, i recently looked into comb filtering and adding anything to this setup would just cause comb filterting from my knowledge.
I wonder how these babies compare to the Martin Audio Blackline XP .
Great question. I’m not sure but it would be a good time finding out! I prepped a Martin line array at work one time to be installed in a church. It was super nice and sounded great. Super expensive though!
Could you please reply to this as i need to know whether to buy xp118 or 8004. Xp118 is bit cheaper

do you feel the same punch of bass as you were 50 feet away from the subs?
Subs were center clustered and yeah you can not only hear them but you can feel them as well. At 15-20 feet, they are hitting good. 50 feet back with a crowd.... you can still feel it. 4 of the 8004’s would really add some punch.
@@soundasylumlive4421 they really efficient than those chinese brands of active 18 inch subwoofers.
Is this outdoor venue in Houston? Looks familiar. I have two RCF HDM45A’s and two 9004 subs. The only way to run the subs outside is to couple them it seems. They’re too directional to run them stereo and seem almost non-existent.
This is in the corn fields of central Illinois at a Marine Corp venue. I try to run center clustered subs as much as I can. It eliminates the comb filter you get when you separate them as you have noticed with your subs. Thanks for commenting!
Tem quantas unidades?
For this event, two top boxes and two subs.

Uma pena no Brasil custar tão caro...🥲🥲🥲
I wish they were more affordable for everyone. They are made in Italy.
