Studiolive AI PA Systems Shine at Musikfest 2015 August 19,2015

[This just in from Dave Hinson of Hinson Sound in Bethlehem, PA!]

Dave Hinson Sound has been one of the sound vendors at Musikfest in Bethlehem for 15 years. Musikfest is the nation's largest free music festival, boasting performances on 16 stages over 10 days. Our line array rig is deployed at the Volksplatz tent.

This year we became the sound vendor at the Main Street stage. When the contract was awarded, I called Rick Scott at Parsons Audio to order a pair of StudioLive 328AIs with the companion sub-The StudioLive 18sAI.

PreSonus was my first and only choice since hearing these speakers at a Dante class in Philadelphia back in April. I was first impressed with their sound, and they became a must have when I learned they were Dante-ready, and fully compatible with my Yamaha CL consoles.

What I was most impressed with, however, was that we unboxed the speakers, plugged them in, and they worked beautifully. No hassles, no tuning and no tweaking. We found that the speakers delivered incredible musical clarity. I believe they are two or three notches above their competition. Before next year's festival season, I hope to make an all-PreSonus system: more mains, subs and monitors all running on Dante.

I am even thinking about how I can use lighting truss to support two mains per side and placing the sub below the stack. This year, I used my QSCs as monitors, I hope to replace them with your 312AIs, or I could always use the 328's in that mode also. You have a great product that has risen above the competition. I am sure 2016 will be a great year for you. Keep up the good work!
