Brian Rosenblum, owner of Dynamic Productions USA, purchased 24 Aero 40A enclosures and placed them into service almost immediately-and with great success. The system's first use occurred in Ramapo, NY. The concert included performances by rock band .38 Special as well as country and southern rock extraordinaire the Charlie Daniels Band. Rosenblum discussed his experience with the company's Aero 40A line array system.
"For this project, we had to provide coverage for an audience of roughly 6,500 people," Rosenblum explained. "To accommodate this, our setup included all 24 Aero 40A loudspeakers-flown with 12 elements each for the right and left hangs. For low frequency support, we used 16 D.A.S. LX-218CA high performance, powered subwoofers at ground level. For front-fills, we deployed four Aero 12A powered, two-way line array elements, and we also used another 12 Aero 12As for the out-fills. We also deployed eight D.A.S. Road 15A powered, two-way stage monitors for the performers."
Bob Workman, FOH engineer for the Charlie Daniels Band, was very impressed with the performance of the Aero 40A system, "The 40 is the 'baddest' single 12 box on the planet. It has amazing extended, smooth response on both ends of the spectrum. I love it."
