"Our business services events from festivals that draw in 50,000 all the way down to clubs with a capacity of 100," explains Roy Kircher, owner of Big House Sound. "So when Adamson came out with the S-Series it caught our eye. It fits nicely with the demand we get for sound systems for mid-sized to smaller venues. Between the sound quality and how easy it is for one person to handle? It was a perfect fit for our business model."
Big House took delivery of an S-Series rig earlier this summer that consists of a full complement of S10 line array enclosures and S119 subwoofers.
"This system is a godsend in comparison to some of the heavier boxes we have had in our inventory," adds Bobby Filarowicz, operations manager at Big House. "We are very excited that this offers us comparable power but is much smaller and lighter. The rigging has come so far from what it used to be - the majority of components are internal or captured on the box - so much easier."
Kircher notes that it is not unusual for them to send out one person to set up a system for a smaller gig adding that "our technicians are well equipped to handle it on their own."
Some of that may be due to onsite training provided by Brian Fraser, Adamson's application engineer. Fraser delivered two days of training that included an extensive overview of Adamson Blueprint AV simulation software as well as hands-on rigging and alignment of the new system.
"We have had a tremendous relationship with Adamson," concludes Kircher. "They have been with us since day one - good company and great people that are incredibly supportive. Of course you invest in gear that will help you company grow, but it's nice to make that investment with people that you have a positive history with, and for us that is Adamson."
