SAUGATUCK, MI – Stewart Independent Production reported positive reactions to its recently-acquired RCF TTL33A-MK2 loudspeakers, which have already been put into service as both the main PA and sidefills for recent gigs. Pictured here are crew members with some of the new gear.
More detail from Stewart Independent Production (www.stewartindependent.com):
After just six weeks and over a dozen shows with the RCF TTL33A-MK2’s, we couldn’t be more pleased with their performance. Both as Main PA and as designated Side-Fills, they have exceeded our expectations. They do everything a flagship-series loudspeaker system from a top-tier manufacturer should do, including sound good, but what’s more is that they are quite musical. For lack of a better term, they are nice sounding speakers and I had missed that level of fidelity. When working with their subwoofer counterpart, the TTS18-A, the line array effect is quite impressive! Also, the sensitivity of the boxes is such that just the slightest EQ adjustment can be clearly heard in the PA. Dynamic range and vocal projection are great and pattern control is really, really tight!
Our next set of projects requires very short hangs of relatively small boxes with the challenge being that we still have to cover upwards of 90 degrees while supplying substantial SPL and even vertical and horizontal coverage. One significant advantage to the TTL33 is it’s advanced horn-loaded design allowing each module to cover up to 15 degrees vertical, while maintaining a tight 100 degree horizontal coverage plane. Using a high-curvature array and RD NET DSP adjustments, we will be able to cover the spaces with 6 TTL33 boxes per side. We would need 10-12 conventional line-array modules otherwise. We will place three blocks of 4 each TTS18-A on the ground. With RCF HDL-20A’s as front-fills, it’s a rig! We are always striving for simple and straightforward audio solutions at SIP.
Next, we have several projects that require we fly subs in array with the TTL33’s. Due to the careful tuning and Band-Pass design of the TTS18-A, we’ve already found this to work well because the subs have such excellent controlled projection. Again I must give a shout out to their tone. These are not one-trick pony subwoofers nor are they single-note thumpers!
We will be adding four more TTL33’s to inventory at this time, along with additional TTS18-A’s and TT25-SMA’s to further increase our now substantial matching RCF TT series active subwoofer and TT series active stage monitor complement.
