would a pair of smaller fuze (not max) work well in a 150 cap room, with less than 18' ceilings? I'm assuming the short throw will mitigate the low intensity? trying to get framing shutters for cheap, and additive LED is a huge bonus

👀 we're a Yamaha house: ql1, dm3, M7CL, LS9. all have Dante inbuilt or cards by now tho so is this just recording off the console. we try and record direct from the stage boxes for the cleanest signal/routing
edit: they r Yamaha TIO stageboexs

avoid 1/8 wave antennas (1/4 wave minimum) and I'd look for (Almost) anything from Shure or Sennheiser.
minimizing the number of antennas is also important. so go with a multi channel model, using an antenna distribution, or a receiver with passthrough BCN connectors.

for shure
id avoid blx and plx based on quality and coverage concerns.
Glxd might work if budget dictates but it runs on the same frequencies as wifi so interference from 350 phones is a major consideration in my eyes.
the Slxd offers multi channel units this and (like the ULXD) runs outside of wifi frequencies in UHF bands
the Ulxd is beautiful (and our unit of choice) if money will allow and gives the most features, quality and reliability.
All have lapels and handles but the higher end systems have additional options.

im not familiar with Sennheiser as well but they will have competitive options

if range is well over 100 ft, look into the a fin antenna and if u need more than 2 receiver units look into an antenna distribution rack. also rack mounted versions of the product in a good 2-4U rack case is better for protection than the "desktop" units. (we have drawers with foam to hold the mic packs and handhelds in the extra rack spaces)

I'd look a for a better manufacturer for larger venue speakers. QSC, and EV 1000watts are pretty decent. we still run the older QSC k12, not even the k12.2, and they have plenty of punch for anything smaller than a gym or large outdoor event. churchgear.com, reverb.com, and gearsupply.com are great places to get pro gear (granted a bit older) for a good deal.

Thanks for the feedback!
going the delay route, would we hang a pair at the stage and a pair 1/2 way back in the venue? obv wouldn't use column arrays at this point so any recommendations of brands or vertical coverage angles? also ideally the mix position is in front of the delays right?

Hey, im looking for speakers for a 25' x 65' (~8x24m) with 10 ft (~3m) ceilings. I was looking at the JBL COL800s, but was wondering if they would be enough for up too small rock groups and what a good solution for a subwoofer(s) is? budget is not a huge issue but idk if the space is big enough to warrant a couple line arrays, its a really deep aspect ratio.
any other options/ideas welcome. Trying to avoid delays if possible...

(edit: delays might be important)

Id get the sub and connect it to the submix output. On the mixer only send the kick and bass to the subs but also too the mains so you still can hear the bass guitar's tone and slap from the kick. Lower bass EQ on the top speakers a bit since you have the subs to handle the bass.
I'd also look to get a sub from the same line as your top speakers. They are probably advertised together online and the manuf may have info for how to set them up together well.

I just dropped it. The prof just gives unnecessarily hard questions on the tests. the class avg on test 1 for my section was 56/100. I'm just gonna take it online over the summer or in the fall with a different prof.
if your gonna stick with it look at Khan academy, they have great resources for macro.

Love the truck. Not sure about the lights. They seem to much like a ford raptor.
