While it’s true that large-format, 12- and 15-inch line arrays grab most of the attention among pro audio users, the “little guy” mid-sized boxes are the workhorses of the industry. This month, we turn our attention to line arrays based around double 8-inch and double 10-inch woofers, which are more compact than their 12-inch cousins and larger than the “mini” 4- to 6-inch enclosures. Yet, for a majority of applications, these 8-inch wonders are often “just right” — whether for smaller gigs, club/theater/H.O.W. installs or used as front/down-fills, under-balcony reinforcement, delay lines — the list goes on and on.
Line array speakers — of any size — are rarely used as simple pairs and are usually deployed in multiple cabinet arrays, with prices often determined as part of an overall system purchase (typically with subs, amplification, rigging, wiring, dollies, etc.) and as such, single-cabinet pricing is not provided. URL’s for each company are attached; contact the manufacturer for more information.
