Since taking possession of the system earlier this year, Star Way Productions has used it for shows featuring artists such as Engelbert Humperdinck, Styx, Jamie Foxx, Stevie Wonder, Ludacris, and Phil Vassar.
The PA system, which is based on QSC WideLine components and uses two Yamaha PM5D FOH consoles, was designed by Sound image. "We recommended the GQ600 EQs for this system because we felt it was the best possible solution for equalisation," says Dave Shadoan, president of Sound Image. "It's a great EQ and we have it out with several of our clients, including Merle Haggard, who is opening for Bob Dylan, and with the Doobie Brothers. We also use the GQ600 in our contracting division. And they're super reliable - we've never, ever had to send one back for repair."
