Re: BOSE PAS Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com 060127



I used two of these systems this past summer in a smallish coffee
house space, routing my "left" channel to one unit and the "right"
channel to the other. They were the tower with the bass subwoofer
units.

In the right space, these units are ... astounding.

Which is to say, they are not the ONLY solution you'll ever need. They
have some drawbacks that simpy cannot be overcome, due to sheer
physics/acoustics.

The sound comes off these things in an amazingly flat and "linear"
manner and out past about 75'-100', it drops of VERY QUICKLY. Inside
that zone, it's all around you. If you are playing in a steeply
pitched auditorium-type space, that flat field of soundbecomes a
serious drawback. The A/V guys who let me use these units were setting
up an event on campus recently, in one of the older performance
auditoriums and had to give up on using the PAS. It just wouldn't push
the sound up to the second balcony fromthe stage that was a good 40'
below balcony level, so they had to bring in the conventional
speakers. Straight line out...just no easy way to push the sound "up"
to there.

Their sound is really sweet and, as I said, in the right spaces they
are absolutely dynamite. In a perfect world I'd have a set of these to
go with the arena system.
