Client Comments

What do our customers have to say about JBL Professional's tour sound solutions?

VTX A12

"Using the VTX A-12 at summer fest was a lot of fun its sounded great. Nick did a fantastic job tuning the pa for the venue. I tuned REO into the pa in about 2 minutes, really had a good time." 
—Joe Walsh (FOH REO Speedwagon)

VTX A12

"Mixing in the box is only as good as the speaker at the end of the chain. The JBL VTX-A system I encountered at Summerfest created a beautiful experience. The sound matched the excitement in the air while the deep bass response surrounded and kept us all grounded." 
—Timothy Burkhead (FOH Engineer Leon Bridges)

VTX A12

"The VTX A12 has the clarity and plenty of volume that I needed.  Also, the new B28 Subs had enough low end to shake the crowd.  It is a very balanced rig that you can run hard. JBL has never let me down."
—Matthew Stevens (FOH Engineer Better Than Ezra)

VTX B28

"The definition and stereo imagery of the boxes were next level. The B28 Subs were so much, I had to lower them by about 10db during my sound check and also for showtime, which I almost never do for Hip Hop performances. To be clear! There were a lot of subs, but very punchy and smooth." 
—Courtney Taylor (FOH for G Eazy)

VTX A12

"As I pulled up in the bus to Summerfest, I saw our stage. Even from afar, I saw the distinct shape of the JBL A12 and I knew It was going to be a good day. The power, signature, and coverage was excellent. "
— Ken "Pooch" Van Druten (FOH Engineer)

VTX A12

"Let’s be honest.  JBL is #1 on my list of preferred PA’s and I prefer a loudspeaker that is honest to my mix and the band.  I never run out of headroom, punch or clarity with JBL." 
—Chris "Cookie" Hoff (FOH for Styx)

VTX A12

"I just finished mixing the show, on the VTX A12. Killer set, everything sounded amazing and I feel like the crowd loved it." 
—Reiley Brinser (FOH Engineer Ozomatli)

FAQs: Professional Concert Sound Systems

What are tour sound systems?

Tour sound systems are professional audio setups designed for live events, concerts, and touring productions, delivering reliable, high-quality sound across venues of varying sizes.

How much does a sound system cost for an event?

The cost of a sound system for an event depends on the venue size, audience numbers, and equipment requirements. Small setups can be rented at modest cost, while large-scale festival systems cost considerably more.

What sound system is best for small events?

For small events, a compact PA system with active speakers is often the best choice. These systems are easy to set up, provide clear sound, and are suitable for speeches, presentations, and live music.

Which is the No. 1 sound system?

There is no single "best" sound system, as the right choice depends on the type and size of the event. Leading professional brands include JBL Professional.

What kind of speakers do they use at festivals?

Festivals typically use large line array speaker systems designed to deliver powerful, even sound coverage across large outdoor areas. These systems are often supported by dedicated subwoofers for enhanced bass performance.

What brand of speakers do concerts use?

Concerts commonly use professional speaker brands such as JBL Professional. The choice depends on the venue, artist requirements, and production scale.

What is the 83 dB rule for speakers?

The 83 dB rule usually refers to maintaining a listening level of around 83 decibels for accurate audio monitoring in professional sound environments. It is often used in music production and sound engineering rather than live event setup.

What is the 38% rule for speaker placement?

The 38% rule is an audio mixing guideline that recommends positioning the listening area around 38% of the room's length from the front wall. This can help reduce unwanted acoustic issues and improve monitoring accuracy.

What sound system is used in concerts?

Concerts typically use professional PA systems consisting of line array speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, and digital mixing consoles. These systems are designed to deliver clear, consistent sound to audiences of all sizes.
