PA systems are necessary for sound projection in live venues, but traditional equipment requires multiple components, including speakers, stands, cables, mixers, and subwoofers, which can be cumbersome to set up for traveling musicians. Due to their larger enclosure sizes, they also tend to be challenging to transport and may divert the audience’s attention away from the musician during a live performance. However, column array speakers address these challenges by providing performers with a slimmer, more portable alternative; Sam Ash’s guide adds that the technology also offers wide horizontal sound dispersion, retaining high audio quality even in the most unpredictable acoustic environments.
Among the column array speakers available, Sam Ash’s guide highlights the Samson Resound VX8.1, which delivers 700 watts of power in a 67-pound package with four DSP presets and Bluetooth connectivity. The speaker has eight 3.5” drivers arranged in a two-segment interlocking column array, allowing it to project clear high and mid tones with up to 200 degrees of horizontal coverage. Additionally, its modular design makes it particularly suitable for gigging musicians, even enabling daisy-chaining to a second VX8.1 system for larger venues.
The Evolve 50 by Electro-Voice is similarly powerful, with eight 3.5” neodymium compression drivers with custom waveguides, 120-degree horizontal coverage, and QuickSmart DSP technology that can be controlled with an LCD screen. Another notable option is Yamaha’s DXL1K column array system, which is designed to provide professional-grade sound for solo performers; operating at 1,100 watts and with the brand’s signature J-Curve Slim Line Array Design, this speaker offers both 170-degree horizontal coverage and focused vertical dispersion from a compact enclosure.
While all of the featured products are powerful, the team explains they are suitable for different situations. Sam Ash says that musicians should consider venue size, portability requirements, DSP and control options, and coverage patterns before making a purchase.
