PA3115 stage monitors
My relationship with the Acoustic Control, PA3115 speakers started in 1977 with the accident in which I injured my back. I was dancing at the Hungry i on Broadway in San Francisco (see link below) when it happened and I was two years in recovery. During the recovery, I realized I would no longer be able to dance and I had to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I started out working behind the scenes with the people I had danced with helping them produce their shows.
As I had an extensive music library (see link below), I started to DJ for events in 1979. This required a sound system I could travel around with. The nucleus was my Peavey XR 800 mixing board (see link below) and the AC PA3115 speakers, four of them. Why four? I needed to play halls and auditoriums for large crowds for the events, fashion shows, dance performances, theater performances, etc. that my work eventually evolved into. It was an amazing career that lasted over 20 years and I still have the setup.
