An alternative to conventional compact line arrays in terms of both price and audio performance, the L5 LTS A is an efficient, easy-to-handle sound reinforcement tool for professional hire companies, and is sure to impress when installed in clubs, says the company.

Although a single satellite achieves the long-throw performance of a conventional compact array, the L5 LTS A's special audio characteristics also let you set up acoustically correct head stacks and horizontal clusters, and the two configurations may even be combined i
