Line arrays flown per side for even coverage front to back, ground-stacked subwoofers for the low end, and networked DSP with the manufacturer presets already loaded.
For a 2,000–5,000-capacity festival stage we plan a 12-box NEXO GEOS LD12 hang (six per side) with 6× Funktion One 21SW152-8 subs in a cardioid block and Adamson PLM 20K44 amplified controllers. The box count above is a typical festival hang for this room size, not a promised stock level; every cabinet is bench-tested and the rigging set is checked before it is crated.
Concert and festival sound is decided by coverage, not by the number of cabinets on the truss. Top boxes aim at the rear rows, lower boxes cover the first few metres, and the result is an even level from the barrier to the back of the field.
Outdoors the air is the enemy: wind takes high frequencies first, so the arrays need enough headroom to stay intelligible at 40 metres without pushing the limiters.
Subwoofers work best as one block on the ground rather than split left and right. Low frequencies need coupling and a solid boundary; spreading them costs output and creates a power alley down the centre.
Load the manufacturer preset for the exact cabinet, lock the limiters, and carry a spare module plus a labelled cable set. Run amplifier channels at roughly two-thirds of rated power so a long day in the sun does not end in a thermal shutdown.
The three problems that come up most often in this kind of room — and the specific way we plan around each one.
Starting points by floor area. Tell us your room size and we adjust the list.
8 line array boxes flown per side, 4x 18-inch subs, one amp rack with touring presets.
Eight boxes (four per side) with four coupled subs covers 500 m² of standing audience; a 58 kg box per position keeps the hang inside a standard ground-support tower.
12 boxes per side, 6x 21-inch subs per side, networked amps and DSP with array presets.
Twelve boxes plus six subs is the configuration that holds 138 dB peaks over a 1,500 m² field without pushing the amplifiers into limit.
16 boxes per side, 12x 21-inch subs, three amp racks and redundant networked DSP.
Sixteen boxes with twelve subs adds the low-end headroom a headline act expects, and two processor racks keep main and delay zones independently limited.
Send the venue type, floor area and what you run today. We reply with availability, condition photos and a configuration you can check line by line.
Plan on 12 boxes total (six per side) with 6–8 dual 18- or 21-inch subs for a 5,000-capacity outdoor field, plus front fills. That keeps peaks around 138 dB at the mix position with headroom left for the headline act.
Yes when we have it. Each lot is listed with the rigging set we hold; if pins or shackles are missing we say so before you pay and price the replacement. We do not ship a hang that cannot be flown safely.
We keep critical spares for the models we sell and can add a spares kit to the order. Ask for the list for your exact cabinet before dispatch so the kit matches what you are running.
