Why we installed the SoundTown Zethus 210Bs in our auditorium 

We already sold them sorry!

Wait, you sold a Danley system for this? Wtf.

@@MrSamsstudios Yepp we did. Before I took over, they had installed 3 Danley SH96HOs which was not the right setup for our space. Sounds crazy on paper but I genuinely like this system better than Danley and RCF

They require 550watts rms 2000watts peak at 16ohms. Sound Town has their own amps too which sound just as good as amps 3x the price.

i second this question my soundtown zethus 115swpw makes a rattling noise at anything over relatively 70db and wondering if its a mechanical issue, amp issue, or the chains holding the array problem and this is how they actually sound

They handle our band extremely well

Do you have the subwoofers that they came with?

@@bdogplays We actually have Danley Subs. The only Sountdown Subs I have are the Zethus 215 and I don't recommend those. Go for 18s if you can

They are great with a full band! Warm and clear!

@@ridgebingaman5819 Thank you!! We have being wanting to hear them live. But we don’t know any church or venue in Texas that uses the sound town system.

@@gauhernandezoficialI use sound town from Texas they are GREAT

That is correct, we are running 10 outputs to 12 speakers from our QSC core, all tuned and adjusted for their sections. We ran into some phase issues and had to invert for 2 channels in spots I wasn't expecting. Our front fills on stage take care of the first 2 rows in each section and we just purchased an additional front fill to get more horizontal coverage across the front. I'm not sure who I was deceived by though... Our old system had been a problem for years and this is a much more clean and even sound. No more hot spots and dead zones. You'll just have to hear them for yourself!

@@ridgebingaman5819 My comments have nothing to do with the gear you are using and everything to do with Line Array Theory and Sound System Engineering and Optimization 🙂. I'm only trying to help. What software is being utilized to analyze the acoustic response of the coverage areas? Has the venue been simulated in any software like EASE Focus? It may be dark, but as far as I can see, the arrays and side fills are only covering the balcony. Any professional system engineer will assert that four line array boxes are not nearly sufficient to cover that entire space. 4 boxes at 15 degrees vertical coverage, in a perfect world would give you 50-55 degrees of coverage. From the center of the array, how many degrees from 5 ft above the top row (always overshoot) in the balcony to the 2nd row on the floor level? To illustrate my point, try making a video using the same song, once from the fifth row from the front on the 1st floor, and another from the Front of House (FOH) on the second floor. Maybe even make one starting at the first row and walk backward until you're under the balcony. I suspect you will discern what I am implying. My hunch is that with a full room, there are intelligibility issues from the third row back, mainly because all the highs are in the balcony and only the first row. What isn't blocked from people seated in the first row makes it to the second row. You also are not getting much directivity in lower frequencies because it is such a short hang. Under balcony is probably another bad spot. I don't doubt that it sounds good where you're standing in this video, but remember, every seat counts! 🙂

@@sonicsound84 I should have done a before and after video... Before this install we had 3, 90x60 point source speakers in the room. Now tell me my coverage is bad lol what you also don't see well in the video is that the stage comes out to almost the middle of the room. So the bottom linearray is aimed roughly around the 3rd/4th row of seats. Not sure what software we ran it through but we did simulate it. Our angles are 25 to start, 0, 2, 8, 10. This was my first major install like this so I'm not saying it's perfect, just explaining the why behind it!

I don't know how you simulated it with Sound Town considering they dont have any files for AMFG EASE/EASE Focus or any other simulation software and they also don't have their own.

We are running 5 amps. The main stacks are running 6 channels through 3 Danley amps and the side fills are using 4 channels through 2 of soundtown's NIX-A8PROs

Ok! You’re running it bi-amped I’m guessing?

@@chrisjackson5984 Nope we're actually just running them passive! They do sound great bi-amped too

@@ridgebingaman5819 I’m not being a butt or anything. I’m really curious because I’m looking to place an order on 8 210b myself. How are you running 3 amps on the 8 boxes without using on bi-amp?

​@@ridgebingaman5819can you do a review of the sound town amplifier at some point. I'm thinking about buying a couple of soundtown amps for my passive rig.
