I own and Operate Pearl Pro Audio and were a regional sound co doing Fairs, Fests and Corporate work, Im 51 years old and I have been in the Biz as either a Lampy or Humhead for most of my life, Ive had the great joy to have a decent career and travel and meet many great folks. I use the Peavey Versarray 112 Systems, I have a 10 Hang system with 10 VR 112s on each side using the Vermette Lifts or Genie Lifts when we do a roof, I have 8 VR 218 Sub cabs I use a pair of VSX 26 DSP Processors and run the system in Stereo, using the Peavey CS 4080 For subs, CS 4000 For 12" Mids, and the CS 3000 For Ribbon Highs. Its a nice clean system and is capabale of many different uses, I can break it down to a ground stacked 3 cabs per side on One Sub, Or any combination of the tops Minimum of 3 per side, Its light, has decent rigging although the Pins are a bit damage prone, its compact and travels well. I use a Crest Audio HPW 44 thats been converted from the CHURCH console it started out to be, removed the Automix channels and installed 8 MONO channel strips and so its 40 Channels plus 4 Stereo channels, I use the External power suppy, Again its a decent console and has 10 Auxes, It also has several auxilary outputs which are great for the Board recording, it has Mic Inputs that can be fed to the In Ear monitors for Audience Mics, Built in Limiters on these channels, 128 Mute groups, you can do FOH/MON from the same console and that works good for Corporate stuff. I build cases and its housed in a ATA style case made of ABS and Birch with 6 wheels, Doghouse and removeable caster plate.
