Anyone gone from an 'array system' back to traditional speakers?

Or is it so immersive that you don't notice? I do appreciate the input- it's great that so many of you play out!

Because I work in a duo format quite a bit, my L1c is usually placed between us, often just about even or just slightly behind(because we're jammed up against a wall) so that we both get a side wash. The volume falls off nicely, yet remains balanced and sounds good

There is a point where the volume can be fatiguing, especially in a louder bands with drummers, and these cases a traditional set up with monitors would be better, or perhaps one on each side of the stage. It depends...

Nice, Stratcat, I like your poise.

Here you go, Strat...

Hey Strat, I assume in that clip with the full band doing Can't You See, you're using two L1 Compacts right? I can only see the one behind you. The frame doesn't quite veer right far enough to verify the other one.

I’m using the LD Systems Maui G2 11.

In the full band, I use two.

For solo gigs I use one.

Here’s my typical solo setup

Thank you. Getting confused on all the systems!

Stratcat,
Where did you get that stool? That’s what I been looking for!

I prefer traditional PA speakers. I will bust out the Turbosound ip500 if I'm playing a venue where the Loudbox mini would be too small, and space is too tight for a traditional PA.

And they make a guitar hanger that screws onto the back to replace the adjustment knob behind the backpad. Pretty slick.

For a good giggle...

That is slick! I will get one. Trying to hang my guitar with a hanger attached on my mic stand. Works okay, but no where near as stable as this. Thanks!
