Last
year, country artist Levi Riggs started touring with an HDL20-A rig. An
up-and-comer at the time, Riggs had a hit single last year “There’s Still A
Place For That,” and is currently riding at #37 on the Nashville Music Row
charts. If you like country music the Levi Riggs show is high energy,
leave-it-all-on-the-stage, authentic, and as-real-as-it-gets country
music.
When he
got the HDL20-A rig last year, he told us at RCF, “I had been touring with a
different system for the last year or two but as my fan base has grown so has
the size of the venues I perform in,” Riggs explains. “It was important that I
have a system that could produce the volume I need without any distortion. When
I heard the D Line series array I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.”
As
Riggs prepares for this summer’s tour, including a stop at the CMA Fest this
weekend (June 6-8), he tells us, “I couldn\’t be more proud of my RCF rig.
It has been a difference maker when it comes to playing large events.
Artists at my level that are touring with their own P.A. just can\’t
compete with the RCF rig I am running and RandyWise (FOH engineer)
really makes it shine. It sets me apart.”
The
system, which consists of eight HDL20-A line array modules and four SUB 8006-AS
subwoofers, more than accommodates the current and future needs of the upcoming
talent.
“Because
it’s scalable we can use four HDL20-As and two of the SUB 8006-AS subs to great
effect in smaller venues or add more tops and bottoms seamlessly for more
coverage at larger shows,” says Riggs. “It has also been extremely useful to be
able to adjust the arrays so that they are covering audience areas directly in
front of the stage or up in a mezzanine – it makes the system exceptionally
flexible.”
