Medium-Format Line Arrays

Medium-Format Line Arrays

The massive, “big gun” 12- and 15-inch line arrays typically grab most of the attention in the pro audio press, but sometimes it’s the “little guy” mid-sized boxes that are the workhorses of the industry. This month, we turn our attention to line arrays based around 8-inch woofers, which are more compact than their 10- and 12-inch cousins and larger than the “mini” 4- to 6-inch enclosures. Yet, like Goldilocks’ preferences, these 8-inch wonders are often “just right” — whether for smaller gigs, club/theater/H.O.W. installs or used as front/down-fills, under-balcony reinforcement, delay lines — the list goes on and on.
