In a small, intimate room of 60 or so people, drop off is not a factor.

In larger venues, yes, there is minimal drop off at around 15 ft. But, compare this to conventional systems and you are back to the same ol' problem of too loud up front...not loud enough in the back.

Until you experiment with presets, EQs and placment of the PAS on stage, you can't appreciate what it can do for you.
