Once I logged into the Dynacord SONICUE sound system software program and checked the EQ curve, it wanted minimal adjustment, which is uncommon in my expertise as a touring FOH engineer and installer. The throw from every loudspeaker was precisely what Jordan and my laptop fashions instructed me, by way of distance and SPL. As well as, the choice to have an Electro-Voice and Dynacord technician out there to fee the system was a strong promoting level. Moreover, the loudspeakers arrived forward of schedule!
