Alcons

[Rick Sarson]

I have just done a job for ITV, their gala dinner. It was in the Roundhouse in Camden which, although much improved, is not a great venue for sound. I used two hangs of Alcons LR14's via Digico D1. I was totally gob smacked! It was far and away the best sounding rig I have ever used. (Meyer, d&b, Vdosc, Outline Butterfly being amongst them) It is unusual in that it has ribbon,rather than compression, drivers for the tops. It was like using a giant HiFi. Cleaner than anything I have ever come across, very loud, and hugely detailed and dynamic. The only drawback is that there is nowhere to hide, if you make a mess of things it shows every detail of your mistake. I would recommend that you have a listen if you get the chance it will change your perception of how good sound can be. Wow! ;D

Hi Rick, please excuse my ignorance, but I can only find Alcon linked with rally cars and medical supplies.
Is Alcon the company or a brand of line-array cabs?

Sorry chaps. I should have provided that link. I forgot

Here is a snap of the rig. As you can see, it is quite small. I asked for ten a side, which would have been plenty. It is a hang of twelve because the supplier had the rig in packs of six and did not want to split them. These are LR14's. You can see from the rest of the rig nearby they are quite small. Cool bananas!
