d&b v series

[jakeprowse]

Hello All,

 

There's not very much on the forums about people with or that have used V in different situations. Has anyone had any experience?

 

I am quite potentially interested in a rig of 6x V8 with 2x V12 flown a side, 4 or 6 V Subs a side with possibly J Infra.. It goes without saying listen before you buy, however I am keen to know what people have had experience of. Use would mainly be rock & roll, festivals with occasionally the need to ground stack.

 

What situations and formats have people had experience of?

 

In anticipation..

 

Jake.

The V is a good box, it does what all the d&b stuff does well, consistent, loud and clear etc.

 

Personally, I do prefer the Kara in that size of box however. It's 26kg not 38, shorter (but a bit wider), still 2 way active (but a 2 way design, not the 3 of the V) but clearer and with that L-Acoustics voicing which I feel just helps a mix sit just that bit easier.

 

Combined with LA8 it's a killer setup, you're more than welcome to pop down and see ours if you'd like to get a feel for it, how we rack it etc.

 

We ground stack and fly equally as often and it manages it well. Plus, there's more Kara than V in this neck of the woods if you needed to sub more in.

used the V a bit personally I prefer J subs to V subs but its a very well rounded system and sounds lovely

Now with the D80's, it sounds amazing http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

It's D&B. It sounds fantastic, the rigging is great, the amps make it easy to setup and I can't imagine any rider not accepting it.

 

If you can afford it, go for it.
