Frequently Asked Questions
LD Systems' implementation is quite effective, but lacks the granular control of some premium brands; it's a good balance of usability and power for the price point.
You're looking at around 120-125 dB at 10 feet, depending on room acoustics and how the system is configured – plenty loud enough for most applications.
While robust, prolonged exposure to rain or extreme humidity isn't ideal; a cover is recommended for outdoor gigs to protect the finish and wood.
