Well I used it all night and I thought it sounded just o.k. But customers, mostly regulars, told me it was clearer than normal and could hear every detail.
After I finished I played back recording I'd made during the night, and thought it was muddy. I plugged the two Bose Compacts in and I thought they sounded great but lacking bottom a little.
But then I a-b'd the two systems for some friends, one of whom is a sound technician, and they both picked the Space Station as sounding better. They didn't know which one they were hearing.
I will have to play with the settings, particularly how much of the "width" to use. I turned it up more when we were listening to playback and it seemed like the sounds spread everywhere, just like it's supposed to do.
Problem is that it sounds a little harsh on the bandstand, but much better from a few feet away to the back of the building.
I think I will have to get used to it.
It is very small in size, but weighs about 40 pounds. I used a very small sub (8-inch, 100 watts, 25 pounds). Tons of bottom. Maybe I'm not used to hearing it, or maybe I had the sub too loud for my taste. Still everyone else loved it.
I have learned that I cannot trust my ears after sitting in front of speakers for four hours!
In the Expedition on the way home, the playback had plenty of highs, not muddy at all, perfect balance.
I'll try again tomorrow night.
