L-Acoustics V-DOSC For 35th Anniversary Of German Band - ProSoundWeb

prosoundweb.com

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the L-Acoustics V-DOSC system showcased its exceptional capabilities during Höhner's concert at the Lanxess Arena. The review praises the system for its powerful low-mid range and clear high frequencies, significantly enhancing intelligibility for live vocals. Its design effectively mitigates sound reflections from glass balconies, making it ideal for large venues. However, while the setup's complexity is acknowledged, it could be daunting for smaller events or less experienced technicians. Overall, the V-DOSC stands out as a robust solution for high-capacity performances but may present challenges in simpler applications.

We are carrying all backline, stage set, props and a complete monitor IEM package and FOH console, the amazing [Soundcraft] Vi6. We use Precise Corporate Staging from Phoenix in the U.S. and SSE from the UK in Europe. Our recent UK tour had us carrying a full L-Acoustics V-DOSC rig from SSE.
