VUE Audiotechnik

I’ve used most of the major brands but have always struggled to balance size, output and sound quality without stressing the budget. From the moment I first heard VUE’s a-Class I knew they’d finally hit my mark. There’s simply nothing out there that can touch these speakers in terms of sound quality and output for the price.

The most salient single aspect of the [VUE] demo was the consistency of voicing across the entire product line. Even the smallest cabinets impressed with their forward voicing, punch and clarity.

It’s clear the VUE designers have experience working the real world. The al-4’s coverage is so well defined and it’s incredibly easy to scale up or down as needed.

I felt instantly comfortable with the VUE system [al-8]. It was beautiful, really smooth and totally responsive. I could literally feel it in my body it was so clear. I loved it.

The al-4 not only delivered exceptional coverage and sound quality, but it did so with almost no tweaking. …I’ve never experienced a line array as predictable and consistent as the al-4.

With SystemVUE™ control software, we could properly attenuate the al-4s directed at the floor seats in front of the stage, while making sure the throw provided proper coverage at the back of each balcony seat.

The al-4’s compact size and ability to scale up and down, or drop in and out of a road case in pre-assembled stacks, makes it extremely easy to work with. It’s really the perfect balance of line array performance and single-box simplicity.

The amount of clear headroom that comes out of the al-4 totally took me by surprise. Don’t let the small size fool you. If you want a crystal clear rig with a small footprint, look no further.

Michael Adams and VUE have outdone themselves with the al-12 system and the new 21-inch hs-221 sub. The system has all of the features that any touring engineer would expect. The fly hardware and dolly carts are self explanatory and easy to deploy, which is integral for a touring system. The audio quality is easily in the top systems.

I can’t see using anything but the VUE speakers in this role ever again. I’m sold.
