All, Last week I got asked to save a friend's son's wedding by providing tunes (their guy flaked). So, I packed up my 4 Pi's,
amp rack, and mixer, iPod, etc. and headed out. I'll spare you the details, but on the system side, I've got Eminence Omega Pro 15's,
and Altec 811-B's with new Selenium D220Ti drivers, 2 Behringer power amps, a Behringer DCX2496 crossover, and a Behringer DEQ2496
digital EQ + RTA + stuff. The 4 Pi's have Eminence PSD2002 drivers and Selenium horns with standard Pi passive crossovers, but bi-amping to the
811's and D220's at ~1.6KHz are a significant improvement. I'm totally impressed with them, and from PE, they are fairly cheap.
I've attached a couple of pictures. One of the setup at the wedding with the father of the groom, the other the rack.
Once I got all the connections and levels set, the sound was *very* impressive. In a word, it sounded BIG. So much so that I turned
the bass down a little. The setup can get very loud, but its so clean its hard to judge how loud it really is. *Very* nice...
At ~5ft, it was running ~95dB, with plenty of room to crank it up way more. Didn't get the chance.
This may become a retirment job...
 Mixer, speakers, and father of the groom.
 Rack with EQ, xover, and amps

The tuneage was awesome and very large sounding, and the level lights were all off, that tells you there's even plenty for outside gigs.Everything was magic thanks to the grooms dads best friend, he's always been there, for 30 years, thsnkx Chris.....
