For the main Vero hangs One-Source used a combination of 2 x XTA DPA100 and 1 x DNA per side, with the F124 and F221 subs powered by a combination of DNA120 and DPA100 units, respectively. Joe continues: “The combination of the F124 subs and the XTA DNA 120 amplifiers was truly remarkable. The low-end power and clarity it delivered throughout the entire show is unparalleled. We’ve never had a setup that handled low frequencies so well.”
One-Source Production Manager Dan Getz is equally enthusiastic:
“Funktion-One speakers are already efficient. Their design and configuration allow for versatile control of the PA which results in less demanding processing at front of house compared to other PAs, while being horn loaded makes them far more capable in terms of coverage. These features mean you can do more with fewer drivers and amplifiers, but pairing the Vero with XTA amplifiers delivered an even cleaner sonic profile. The PA sounded more detailed and balanced, and the small details in the music became more apparent. The overall fidelity is significantly improved.”
XTA’s sound quality and reliability has established them as One-Source’s amplifier of choice, but Joe is keen to stress another factor which has been instrumental in the relationship: “XTA’s customer support is something we truly value. Anytime we’ve had questions or needed assistance, we’ve been able to reach out to their team and get prompt, helpful responses. In today’s world that level of support is incredibly important to us. 2025 is shaping up to be another busy year for One-Source with many festivals already booked. The weekend of July 4th will see them once again hooking up with Tipper and Friends at The Gorge amphitheatre in Washington for another outdoor spectacular. Joe is looking forward with confidence: “For this event we’re shipping our gear 5,400 miles, so reliability is absolutely crucial. The truck transport is always a tough part of the journey for our equipment and having gear we can count in through the challenges of travel is more important than ever. We’re confident that with XTA amplifiers in our setup, we’ll have the performance and reliability we need to make this event another great success.”
