We understand that every marching ensemble has unique audio needs. That's why we've developed a range of Speaker System Packages for marching bands of every size; 1A to 6A and beyond.

Whether you're looking into a speaker system for the first time or needing to upgrade your current setup, our packages are designed to provide optimal sound quality and coverage without being overwhelming to use.


In this post, we'll briefly introduce each speaker package, offering a short comparison to get you started. Be sure to visit our Marching Sound Systems page for full details on each package.



Packages for bands of every size

We offer 7 different packages to accommodate groups of every size.

  • Our system packages reference Texas UIL Conference sizes.

  • These size classifications group schools based on student enrollment, aiming to promote fair competition in activities such as marching band.



1A - 6A are the main conference levels.

Conference

Approximate Enrollment

1A

104.9 Students and below

2A

105 - 229

3A

230 - 514

4A

515 - 1,229

5A

1,230 - 2,219

6A

2,220 and above


Our goal is to help you have a clearer understanding of which package may be best for your band by using real sizing classifications for our packages. While these numbers are not based directly on band size, we believe it's a better measuring stick than pure output wattage (a tech spec for loudspeakers).


Take a gander

Here's a quick overview of the system packages to give an idea of what they're about.


The 1A Soloist System

  • A complete and compact system for bands featuring soloists or duets that uses only 1 cart, 1 speaker, 1 small mixer, and 1 microphone.


The 2A Speaker System

  • A stereo (left+right) system offering stadium coverage for smaller bands or

    extra coverage for larger bands.


The 3A Speaker System

  • The same stadium coverage as the 2A system with extended bass for smaller bands needing more low-end.


The 4A Speaker System

  • The tried-&-true speaker system for marching bands. Includes 2 full-range speakers and 2 subwoofers offering full top-to-bottom sound.


The 5A Speaker System

  • Wide stadium coverage intended for larger marching band programs. This system utilizes constant curvature line arrays and subwoofers.


The 6A Speaker System

  • The ultimate system for any marching band. This system includes double-stacked line arrays with subwoofers and center-fill speakers.


The Drum Corps Speaker System

  • A speaker system fit for Marching Music's Major League.
