EDISON, NJ – “We had need for a small footprint, medium-format line array having tremendous adjustability with regard to hangs and ground-stacks alike,” says Saugatuk, Michigan-based Stewart Independent Production owner Shannon Stewart. “Several upcoming projects required a line array effective in large and small numbers, flown and in deck-stack arrays and in both cases as FOH PA and Side-Fills for various rooms. Lastly, the shows required an extremely high fidelity system, capable of more studio-like voicing and ultimately able to reproduce very big and truly detailed vocals. It was critical mixing we were after in addition to horn-loaded pattern control and clarity.”

His choice, “Regardless of what we listened to or mixed on, we came back to the RCF TTL33-A in all of our discussions regarding the aforementioned projects and beyond. These boxes have been talked about around the shop since we demoed the originals a few years back. With all of the great press, user reviews and awards since and the improved MK II version with RD Net, we were sold! It’s also a beautiful box, very well built with great rigging. This line array has one of the smoothest and most detailed sounding horn-packs I have ever heard.”

The system includes eight TTL33-A, a 2500-watt three-way line array module comprised dual 8” low frequency, one 8” midrange and three 1” high frequency compression drivers. Stewart is so enamored with the TTL33-A’s that, “I am now actually inventing reasons to schedule myself to go out and mix on this particular rig.”
He continues, “I’ve added 12 RCF TTS18-A (2000-watt 18”) subwoofers, creating a PA that makes me smile throughout the show and as we all know that particular smile is no small thing.”
The new RCF TT+ Series system is in addition to an RCF HDL20-A line array system Stewart already has in their production arsenal.
