1

d&b audiotechnik V8

Idéal pour: Touring riders and large club installs

Avantages

  • Accepted on most European riders
  • Excellent rigging design
  • Strong resale value
  • Predictable d&b presets

Inconvénients

  • Needs D80 or D20 amplification
  • Heavy at 49 kg per cabinet
  • Grade B units sell fast
Verdict: The safest used line array you can put on a rider. Budget for the amplifier and fly bar, and check that the rigging cheeks have not been straightened.
2

RCF HDL 6-A

Idéal pour: Compact clubs and 200-400 capacity rooms

Avantages

  • Active, so no amplifier rack needed
  • Light enough for two-person hangs
  • Wide 90-degree coverage
  • Cheap to re-cone

Inconvénients

  • Less rider recognition than d&b
  • Limited low-end on its own
  • Plastic cheek wear on older units
Verdict: The best value entry into line array work. Pairs well with RCF 18-inch subs and needs very little truck space.
3

RCF HDL 30-A

Idéal pour: Mid-size venues that want one-box simplicity

Avantages

  • More output than the HDL 6-A
  • Active with onboard DSP
  • Common in Asia, so parts are easy

Inconvénients

  • Larger and heavier
  • Special order only at the moment
Verdict: Worth waiting for if your rooms are consistently above 500 capacity. We source these on request.

Notre méthode

Each system was scored on four criteria: rider acceptance (can you send it out without a client complaint), serviceability (driver and amplifier availability), rigging condition (what fails first on used units) and resale value after three more years. Scores are weighted equally. No supplier paid for placement.

Questions fréquentes

How many line array modules do I need per side?

For a room with a 12-18 metre throw, four to six modules per side is typical. Above 20 metres, plan for eight per side and a sub array. Send us the room dimensions and we will model it.

Do used line arrays come with fly bars?

Not always. Fly bars, bumpers and link plates are often sold separately because they are the parts that get lost. Always price the full hang, not just the cabinets.

Is a grade B line array safe to hang?

Only after a rigging inspection. We check every pin, cheek plate and bolt before listing, and we will not sell a cabinet with a cracked rigging plate, whatever the cosmetic grade.
