As a versatile PA rig, it is hard to beat the flexibility of a mid-sized line array system with 8- or 10-inch woofers. When combined with subs, these compact high SPL solutions are at home in clubs, theaters, houses of worship, mid-sized art/music venues, sports facilities and outdoor events. On their own they can function as side fills, down fills or low-profile front fills. We found plenty to choose from, and here are a few to check out.
