I just wanted to thank you for the great speakers. (The DV12 tops and VS21 subs) sounded so good at our Playa camp this year and brought a lot of cool people over asking “what are those?!” The setup/strike was simple enough that I felt comfortable letting everyone help, and finding the correct gain/pass/presets was a simple matter of trial and error that took about 10 mins once the DJ found his groove. The entire setup pulled only 10% of our generator’s capacity at full honk.

Two minutes later the chef runs into the ballroom freaking out because $500 worth of plates fell off the walls in the kitchen which was on the other side of the wall behind our setup. VS21’s under those DV12s. Can’t make this sh!!? up!!

I am always getting compliments for the sound quality at parades and car shows. The sound carries for several blocks... The bass you hear (and feel) in front of the port is the same bass you experience a block-and-a-half away! No other speaker has that much fidelity at that distance - none. BASSBOSS for the win at these events!

I think this video says it all, but I'll elaborate below anyways Got nonstop compliments about how clear and full it sounded. For the band, we were just barely tickling the limiter on the DV12 at the loudest sections. I kept asking the client if it was too loud, and they continuously told me "hell no! This is amazing!". Pushing 96db a-weighted at FOH, but no pain. The stock tuning on these is immaculate. Client commented afterwards that this was the clearest they've ever heard a vocal, and I've provided PA for them numerous times in the past. They could hear the difference, and frankly, I agree with them.
