GREENSBORO, NC —Produce It Now, Inc. has taken delivery of two of WorxAudio Technologies’ TrueLine M80X2-P line array systems and two TL215S-P subwoofers. Shown here is Carey Hargrove, Produce It Now president and senior event producer, with the new gear. Because Produce It Now handles staging, backdrops, lighting, video, and logistics along with audio systems, Hargrove was looking for a sound reinforcement solution that offered broad horizontal dispersion and solid throw capability in addition to being easy to transport and get operational. “One of our consistently most challenging issues is time constraints,” he said. “There’s a lot more to focus on than just sound alone.
“Our new M80 and TL215 systems enable us to move in, position the enclosures, and be up in running in no time at all,” Hargrove added. “With the M80X2-P being a two-way, ultra compact, line array system that contains two modules in a single enclosure, we can move this in, roll the TL215 sub into place, and setup a speaker on a stick-type configuration in a matter of minutes—thanks in large part to WorxAudio’s new crank-up pole mount system.”
WorxAudio’s new crank-up pole mount system incorporates a base that mounts onto the subwoofer and a pole that gets attached to the top box. Once the pole is affixed to the top box, the pole is positioned atop the subwoofer by placing it into the subwoofer’s receiver base. With the pole’s crank handle, the top box can now be raised to the desired height above the subwoofer.
Hargrove used the equipment at a recent dinner engagement at the University of Maryland, where approximately 200 guests were celebrating the 100th anniversary of the university’s electrical engineering department. Segway inventor Dean L. Kamen was the featured speaker.
“We only had two hours to set up everything, including the sound system, the stage, the backdrop, lighting, and other aspects of the production,” said Hargrove. “This was our first time using the new system and the setup couldn’t have been easier. The new crank up stand and the self-powered design of the both the M80 and the TL215 streamlined setup considerably. We had sound within 30 minutes from the time we entered the room.”
“The room was approximately 80 feet wide by 200 feet deep,” Hargrove added. “I was able to quickly and easily provide clear, even coverage throughout the entire space. No matter where you walked, coverage and sound level was absolutely consistent and the quality was first rate.”
For the event, Produce It Now used a left-right setup with one top box and sub on each end of the stage. “With events of this nature, the worst seats in the room are typically the extreme left and right sides up close to the stage, but with this system, sound coverage was consistent everywhere,” Hargrove said. “The system delivers an extremely detailed sound and when there needs to be bass, there’s no shortage from these subwoofers.”
