Yep, I don't even need to see the clip lights in Cubase cause the distortion
is incredibly bad if a channel hits 0

>NeilI played a show with three of them plus a sub-woofer on each of two
towers and two subs for the third tower. That night there were multiple
acts, from solo acoustic to loud prog rock bands, with quick changes.
Overall they worked and sounded better than I expected and the act
changes were fairly quick.
No mixer out front. The owner of two of the towers was on hand to adjust
things as needed on the little control modules.
There wasn't time to do much with the acoustic drums so I don't really
know how good or bad the PAS can be for that. I think the drums were
mostly un-amplified that night. The bass guitar and low keyboards
sounded good so there was some bass response in the system.
There were a few initial feedback problems due to volume. B
