Taking advantage of VERTEC’s light enclosure weight, Logan built several towers with using standard 12” x 12” trusses as adjustable legs. Each tower supports up to 2,000 pounds with a 5:1 design factor, to a maximum height of 50 feet. The towers are designed to suspend VERTEC VT4888 midsize line array elements and/or VT4882 midsize arrayable subwoofers. Logan Productions also relies upon a variety of other JBL loudspeakers including VRX model 932’s for side fill and center fill units, and TTM-149 wedges for stage monitors.
As part of the overall audio system package, Logan Productions employs Crown I-Tech amplifiers and Harman Pro’s HiQnet System Architect configuration and control software. “The VERTEC loudspeakers have a lot of advantages, great sound obviously being at the top of that list,” Logan noted. “They can handle expanded levels of sound, which make the towers all the more versatile. The engineering behind the product enables us to quickly tune the system, and the digital control networking benefits of using other Harman products allows for quick setup across the board.”
After assembling the first prototype tower in the company’s parking lot, Logan put the system to the ultimate test. “We left it outside during a couple of huge storms, and even with all the rain and wind the tower didn’t move an inch, so we knew it was durable,” he said.
“The creative effort of Logan Productions in building this array suspension system has resulted in a unique technical innovation for regional productions,” said David Scheirman, Vice President, Tour Sound, JBL Professional. “We are pleased to include and recognize Logan Productions in JBL’s global network of rental sound companies that offer VERTEC systems to their clients.”
