    Feedback Destroyer

    Whats a slow PA setup? What is the saying? “How long is a piece of string?” I guess the answer would be relative to the size of the set up and how much equipment is “in house” and how much set up time is wasted by others.

    using the correct amps

    They resemble a box type leko and they have a 8" fresnel lens in them. One knob in the front, one knob in the back. They are GIANT. Never seen anything like them anywhere else and nobody has ever seen anything like them before.
