Alex Benterud works at Best Buy Musical Instruments in East Orange, California and is a Sound Engineer for Amtor Sound Entertainment. In this video, he explains why his ideal live sound rig uses a Mackie CFX-20 MKII 20-channel mixer, QSC RMX 2400W Stereo Power Amp, Electro-voice Force I Dual 15 Loudspeaker, Electro-voice Force I Sub # 18 700-watt Subwoofer and Furman Rack Mount Power Conditioner with Lights.
if you have mixed on that thing for quite a few years you're not doing something right.

Wow! This is my passion too but I don't know where to find work anymore :/ I agree with everything this guy said. Interesting; I never new EV made speakers with that technology, i've always had to make a cut in the 3-5k range on the graphic. Anyway, cool stuff.. I hope to get back into doing this work more often!!

@broocksba you are rigth the RMX line are the strongest (heaviest, and amp demanding) amps from QSC. Im saying RMX are for DJ price wise... RMX are very afortable but in my opion is not worth. how do you feel when carring or draggin that 140lb rack with only 2 AMPS THOSE AMPS ARE SUPER HEAVY and not power effience.
olso lack of power cause lots of heaches...
about power conditioners allowing you to.... place a greater deman on your amplifier without throwing or triping a breaker.. how?

I have 8 QSC RMX series amps for my mains (TriAmp tops with SUBS) and after 2 years on the road the gain pots have gone to crap on ALL of them. The first thing I have to do after un-lidding my racks is ask someone to run the volume knobs back and forth. Has QSC made any attempt to fix this? In the middle of a show I will stil loose my mids or SUBS and I will have to leave front of house to go screw around with the pots until they come back.
