Electrostatic Speakers For Outdoor Concert

I had experience with using the 12 and 15 inch version of these speakers earlier this year with a band I was playing in, and when the need arose for my jazz duo to play an outdoor concert, I got a pair of these. I auditioned them at home for a week, and found the sound to be expansive, clear, and full-range. I used them for the first time this past weekend at an outdoor fund-raiser concert, and they performed magnificently. For once, vocals and my partner's trumpet were clear and cut through the mix. I ported my piano and my backing tracks thru it as well, and everything sounded balanced and clean. This allowed us to use my amp/powered speaker as a monitor, so we had the best of both worlds here. I cannot recommend these speakers enough. They are extremely lightweight given their quality, which is a must for me, and while they were not cheap, they are a great value, costing less than comparable speakers of other, famous brands. The other speakers I considered were heavier and just as expensive, and I doubt they would have sounded any better. And I am considering getting a third one of these to use as a floor wedge monitor for larger venues and larger bands. I'm happy with these and if you need a larger-sized speaker, the 12 and 15 inch variety are also a best bet.

I have a stereo system that has a tubes and solid state amplifier, plus electrostatic speakers. I bought two of these cables to see if there was any discernible audible difference between them and regular patch cords. The minute I installed them, the clarity and definition of the sound was greatly enhanced. It was much smoother and beautifully defined - so much so that I immediately ordered two more. Thanks so much for a great product!!! I would recommend these patch cords to anyone that loves good music. Although they are quite expensive, they are worth every penny.

Works wonderful with our outdoor speakers.

Use this every day for indoor and outdoor speakers.

Love this amp as I connected it to outdoor speakers.

Love having the variable part of this filter for live outdoor video (usually concert) shooting. As long as I stay away from the extreme end I've had no issues with quality of the dreaded X. It's very handy to be able to increase or back off as the light changes.

Have only used it once at an outdoor concert, but the result was excellent, sharp even on f4. Image stabilization works great. Solid build.

Used to clamp my new Tascam recorder to a tree branch for audio at an outdoor concert that I was filming. Easy to connect, sturdy and really helped us to get perfect placement!

Came in an electrostatic bag - minimal waste. Solid construction.

Decided to buy a discrete system after having bad luck with a soundbar system from a four-letter (!) manufacturer. No regrets! Treated myself to a Sony STR-DH790 7.2-Channel A/V Receiver, the floor speakers in this review, a set of Sony SS-CSE Atmos speakers, the Sony SA-CS9 10 115W Subwoofer, Sony SS-CS8 2-Way Center Channel Speaker, a set of Sony SS-CS5 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers for the rear... These speakers sound really great in the system in our living room. You can listen to them at a low level and they give a detailed sound image, or you can blast them loud for that I am there - feeling without any distortion (that I can hear - granted, I stayed below the pain threshold for volume...). You DO need to take your time to adjust the settings in the receiver to get the best sound image in the room. If you take your time and go through all the settings and figure out all the settings/options on the receiver, the end result will NOT disappoint you. Have not watched/listened to a lot of movies yet, but my favorites so far are Das Boot and the end live-concert of Bohemian Rhapsody... The concert scene puts you in the middle of the audience - I can play that concert over and over just to be immersed in it.
