Systems Engineer Steven Sherer was excited about the new system, “In the past couple of years we’ve been working on larger and more involved sound projects, and one of our growing needs was a powerful sound system with long throw capability. But we needed something compact and ground stackable, and of course it had to sound good. We’ve rented and demoed a number of other systems, but the db system really impressed us. ” A week after the system was taken into inventory, it was used as the main PA for a 900 person investment conference, and the entire team, and most importantly our client, was blown away with the quality of the sound.
