Mid-Sized (8”-10”) Line Arrays

In terms of versatile P.A. rigs, it’s hard to beat the flexibility of a mid-sized line array system with 8- or 10-inch woofers. Combined with subs, these are ideal for providing a compact, high-SPL solution for clubs, houses of worship, theaters, mid-sized arts/music venues, sports facilities, outdoor events or as down fills, side fills or low-profile front fills. Checking out the market, we found plenty to choose from. Here are a few to check out.
