There was never such an interaction between me and the musicians, and there was never anything like it in New York or LA.” — Jerry Wexler, quoted in Richard Buskin’s Inside Tracks… View this post

Everything You Wanted To Know About Line Arrays (And Then Some)
John Murray 06/17/13 03:06 PM,At last count… well, I stopped counting. Suffice to say that dozens of companies now offer line array loudspeaker systems that are more than simple column designs.
