When possible, we fly a centre column of subs with the box count depending on the available trim height, and then pairs of subs on the ground for supplemental coverage. The package also contains M1Ds (ultra-compact curvilinear array loudspeakers) and CQ-2s (narrow coverage main loudspeakers) for front fills," Dicus explained.
