Pittsburgh-based R&R Audio Services has expanded its sound reinforcement inventory with the purchase of an EAW Radius system, for use at outdoor festivals and summer shows.

From a line-up comprising point source, line source, stage monitor and subwoofer loudspeakers, R&R Audio Services has chosen eight RSX208L line array modules with plans to add the RSX18 subwoofer in readiness for the 2017 the summer festival season.

‘Radius is a true line array with features not found on similar systems on the market,’ explains comapny owner, Ron Perchinsky. ‘Between the EAWmosaic app and the easy-to-use DSP on the rear panel, it takes all of the guess work out of set-up.

‘EAWmosaic software, which provides prediction, control and monitoring of the system, is very user friendly,’ he continues. ‘For larger events, it can be used with Dante, or we can use all of the controls available through the back of the box for smaller set-ups. It seriously cuts down on set-up time, letting us know the heights and angles each venue requires.’

All Radius models are active and use Dante networking for single-cable audio and control. Additionally, the Radius RSX208L includes OptiLogic, which reduces set-up and tuning time when assembling arrays through a combination of integrated infrared transceivers and tilt sensors in the line array module. With OptiLogic, each module knows its position and splay angle within the array, allowing the system to pre-optimise its acoustical output.

‘We have nothing but positive feedback from our customers since we have started using Radius,’ Perchinsky reports. ‘This will be our go-to system for the upcoming summer festival season.’
