EVERY pro sound person I know who uses Lab swears by them.

And all the repairers I have talked to that work on them also swear by them. A work of art inside apparently.

I don't see any towers. How did you get the sound to reach even
the mid section of the audience?

Easy...

As noted above, the ARCS have vertical dispersion pattern of -20°/+40°. Standing on-top of the SB218's their pattern easily reached far above our heads at FOH and beyond into the "hill seats" (packed, btw...). The ARCS are a simply fabulous design.

This was planned on elevations, drafted to scale. Perfect...

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the next!

I was down there Fri night with the UK lads from L-Acoustics. The system is sounding fine indeed (we have some room issues to sort out though).

The main FOH is all powered by three of their new LA8 amps (four channel @ 1.8k/ch with inbuilt DSP) - http://www.l-acoustics.com/anglais/produitsgb.htm. These were the first ever intalled in UK/Ireland. L-acoustics are way behind on their orders for that unit (about 150 back orders!!)

These are made by Camco - http://www.camcoaudio.com/ - so L-Acoustics are moving away from rebadged Lap.Gruppens. Note sure why, maybe Lab couldn't do what they wanted in terms of integrating the DSP into the amps?? The LA8's are really nice in the flesh.

The desk is a DigiDesign D-Show Profile.

Bo, if you're ever in Ireland...Ill try to get you in there for a demo!!!

Also, the manager of L-acoustics UK office was telling me how much trouble they were having getting the staff they need to grow the UK business. They need a sales managers and technical Support Engineer.

I found that amazing. If I was in that industry, I would do whatever I could to get in with them...even work for them free for a few months just to get in the door!!!
