Your QSC audio system is superb. It’s great to have a system that isn’t intrusive in terms of size, and not needing to shift patrons for sightline reasons is a bonus. My partner, as you are aware, expressed delight when she realised that the clarity of voice came from something with such a small footprint. We are so accustomed to having a vast array with base bins that you can dance on directly in line of sight—often blasting loudly, which makes the experience less than desirable. Your system was crystal clear, and she, being a singer and performer herself, could hear the other cast members clear as a bell. She had a wonderful experience, so for that I thank you and Paul for your professionalism and audio knowledge, and audio system choice.
