UXBRIDGE, MA – Christian rock band Shades of Skin kicked off their "Glow in the Dark" tour with loudspeakers by Fulcrum Acoustic. The tour's inaugural performance was held at Faith Fellowship Church here with sound mixing provided by FOH engineer and live sound tech Joe Klein of Corporate Sound, North Attleboro, Mass.
The band features Brian Heil on bass, Steve Stratton on lead guitar and vocals, Matt Rossetti on keyboard and vocals, Ken Kaiser on guitar and Justin Walker on drums. The band was a winner of the 2004 Palladium Battle of the Bands and made it to the finals in the 2006 Boston Battle of the Bands.
The group performed in the church's sanctuary, a fan-shaped space measuring approximately 70 feet deep and 80 feet at its widest.
Instead of the house system, Klein opted to use a pair of Fulcrum Acoustic DX1295 dual 12 inch coaxial loudspeakers with one US221 dual 21 inch direct-radiating subwoofer.
The touring rig was processed by a BSS Soundweb London system and powered by a Lab.gruppen fP10000Q amplifier and a Lab.gruppen fP13000 amplifier.
Klein, who mixed the show on an APB-Dynasonics console, had good things to say about the sound dispersion and vocal clarity provided by the Fulcrum enclosures.
"I had experienced the DX1295 loudspeakers at a demo a while back and the Fulcrum products had my attention," Klein said. "The DX1295 loudspeakers are lightweight, compact, and puts out a lot of sound for the size."
