Cascade Sound debuted their new DVX woofer-loaded Electro-Voice XLC line array system at this year‘s Oregon State Fair in Salem, which featured sold-out shows by classic rockers Heart and Steppenwolf, country artists Joe Nichols and Craig Morgan, and “American Idol” Daughtry.

“We‘ve successfully used a 15-box per side EV X-Array system at the State Fair for a number of years now, and our new XLC DVX has a similarly warm tonality,” says Larry Carroll of Cascade Sound. “However, where the X-Arrays‘ coverage and throw is impressive, the results we heard from our two 11-box main XLC hangs this year were simply awesome. Plus, adding more EV to our inventory keeps the sonic standard consistently high if we want to mix and match systems.”

“The XLC showed itself to be a highly intuitive and immediately satisfying system–very responsive to the engineer and very flexible towards the venue, especially from an EQ perspective,” adds Carroll. “We ran LAPS (Line Array Prediction Software), fired the system up and got great audio pretty much right off the bat. Couple that intuitive aspect with the fact that EV‘s Monte Wise was present to provide expert assistance and fine tuning, and it was a superb first run for the rig–everyone involved was very happy.” Sound restrictions at the venue (103 dB(C) over a 1 min. average) meant Cascade kept their X-Array Xds subwoofer deployment to a minimum: “The main XLC arrays delivered great full bandwidth response and low-end intelligibility, running flat with minimal sub reinforcement,” adds Carroll.

“It was a pleasure to be on hand to support this sale to our friends at Cascade Sound,” says Monte Wise. “At the end of the night, Larry thanked me and told me that the event promoter said the sound was ‘stunning!‘ That‘s exactly what we like to hear!”
