"For the test, we bring 2 MEGA-112 as tops and a MEGA-118SUB into play. We use the STA-600 and STA-1400 for the tops in bi-amping and the STA-1000 for the bass. We treat ourselves to the digital speaker management DSM-260 as the official controller. The test location is a small factory hall... the factory hall, with its many windows, concrete floor, and numerous tiled surfaces, makes all highs merciless... we quickly tame these with the precise EQs of the DSM-260... we have optimized the sound quickly and intuitively... we go full throttle and are impressed. The sub really makes a noise and proves to be extremely stable. The MEGA-112 impresses with great balance. The result is rich, dynamic dance music with really good sound. 400 guests, even those with slightly more discerning ears, can be easily professionally catered to with this PA. We like that. If you are often active in changing locations, then the PA combination chosen here is very practical.".
