Amplifiers powering ship sound-system

Remember a couple of months back, I said that I was doing a gig on a ship? Remember the speakers I talked about in that post? This is the amplifier stack that was powering them. These people had some good stuff and some not-so-good stuff in this amplifier stack. For starters, the mixer was an Allen & Heath QU16. You cannot see it in this photo unfortunately. The amplifiers were monsters…heavy boat anchors made by a company named Sound Tech. They worked pretty well and I was amazed at their punchy-ness. There was a Behringer Ultradrive Pro loudspeaker management processor taking care of the speaker management. The two big amps below drove the main speakers while the smaller amplifier drove the monitors, which were Mackie un-powered ones. It was not thee best choice of equipment but hey, it worked fine and people had a great time with the music. It proves sometimes that one does not need to have the latest and greatest to run events.
