unpack and set up approximately 24,000 pounds of equipment
and racks. It took 2 days plus 6 hours of system tweaking for

Ron Cornelius with Chuck Hinton providing relief support ran our
Home Theater demo room where we had a pair of XRT2K’s
powered by two MC1201’s, an MC501, MVP861 A/V Player,
MS300 Music Server, MC207 7-Channel Power Amp, MX135 A/V
Control Center, four XLS340’s an XR27 Center and XLS112
Powered Sub and a 61” Marantz flat screen.
The awesome power of the XRT system did not allow us to play at
high levels during the show. So, not to disappoint the crowd, a few
minutes after the show closed for the day we cranked it up. Below
is an after show hours photo of the crowd which gathered to hear
the system Saturday evening. I counted 74 at one point! This
gathering to hear the system happened every night of the show!
