I hope the crew had coverage for hernia's. The Turbo sound system is most impressive.

This is true, but its not all. In fact it seems to me, that most new speaker designer consider this as most important, in line with high SPL. They measure, they dont listen. Altec was made for those who listened. Thats why the almost unmeasurable part of dynamic behaviour while reproducing complex sounds of different instruments is so well mastered by altec speakers.
High wattage, overhung voice coils may have their
charisma, but they will not bring that realistic sound altec had with lightweight underhung voicecoils. Altecs were fabricated with precision and love, with the goal to sound as realistic as possible. The realism of playback behaviour of a loudspeaker cant be measured (yet?), it must be heard. Line array systems may sound very impressive, but not as realistic as altecs do.

Amen Brother.

My wife and I just went to Roger Waters in Nov. in Philly couple of shows.The sound IMO was phenomenal.Our local radio station 93.3 WMMR that was reporting on the shows said it was a superb Quadraphonic sound system I snapped a picture of the arrays.A gentleman had commented on my pics. and said they are Clair Bros.

The arrays are getting smaller and smaller but are putting out just as much if not more sound, the shows that we seen at the Wells Fargo Center were superb.The sound was quite loud and clear !!













Clair Brothers A Leading AVL Systems Integrator - Line Arrays

The Clair Bros. line arrays sound really good,great clarity at high volumes !!

[Altec Best]

A couple more pictures.Lighting wasn't optimal for taking pictures as they didn't allow Flashes because it would interfere with the projections on to the wall that doubled as a big movie screen.But they did allow you to take photos,but no video.

Guess what they were using for PA system for the jubilee concert?

The cart line array like those with ATK Audio Tek.These were placed around the stands. THe drive way used poles with line arrays and giant screens.

They use line arrays for 90% of concerts, saying guess what is kinda like pointing out somebody had eggs for breakfast...

in 2004 or 5, went to see ozric tentacles at bb king in nyc.

roger waters was siting at the next table, as his son was playing in ozric.

if thats what he looks like now, i'd say he had some plastic surgery done.

the sound was terrible, jbl stuff w/clipping sand amps.

the people i was with were recording on a small dat recorder.
