NASHVILLE, TN – Cheaper to Keep Her, Je'Caryous Johnson's traveling R&B musical starring Vivica A. Fox and Brian McKnight, chronicles the woes of a man who is about to lose everything to his soon-to-be ex. To support the show, Jet Productions owner Titus Cunningham has far fewer misgivings about the commitment he made to Aero gear from D.A.S. Audio, according to Prosonic AVL owner Edward Hobby, who sold him the gear.
Along with "some really top notch R&B performances," Hobby noted that Cheaper to Keep Her needed speech intelligibility and clear, natural sound reproduction for both the vocal performances and the accompanying five-piece band. The system needed to be "very adaptable in terms of setup," Hobby said. "At some venues, the system is flown, at others, it's ground stacked."
With scant time available to set up and configure the system, "it really has to sound good straight out of the box," and the D.A.S. Aero system, which includes twelve 12A 2-way, mid-high line array elements and four LX-218A powered subwoofers, "is first-rate in that regard," Hobby said.
Ease of setup is another plus. "The system stays right in the dollies when it's ground stacked-making positioning the enclosures easy," Hobby said. When the loudspeakers are flow, "the enclosures are a snap to remove from the dolly," he said, also crediting the system for "efficient truck pack."
Flown or stacked, Hobby noted that the loudspeakers are configured for a left-right setup consisting of six Aero 12A enclosures and two LX-218A subwoofers per side. "This is a really potent loudspeaker system," Hobby said, "and yet it's keeps a very low profile. The system is usually positioned to the far left and right and, hence, you really don't even see the enclosures-but you certainly hear them."
Hobby also credited D.A.S. Audio of America's customer/technical support services, particularly the speed with which they responded to the production's needs when the project was launched last March. "Everyone at the company was extremely responsive. They handled the sale efficiently and shipped us the equipment right away."
