From offices in Brooklyn, NY, Fool’s Gold Records operates an independent record label that has established itself with releases in hip-hop and electronic music, introducing artists like Kid Sister, Danny Brown, Kid Cudi, and Duck Sauce. The label is best known for its annual series of Day Off concerts across the US and Canada, and recently sponsored a shindig in Miami featuring Vic Mensa, DJ A-Trak and Mike Floss – all of whom used a DAS Audio sound reinforcement system.

Rental Stages provided logistical support for the concert. Company President, sound designer, and production manager Jamie Mardis recently purchased a substantial sound system consisting of DAS Audio’s newly introduced Aero 20A powered line arrays and UX-221A powered subwoofers.

‘For this particular concert, we flew six DAS Aero 20A line array elements for the left and right sides of the stage area,’ Mardis reports. ‘For low-end support, we used eight UX-221A ultra low frequency subwoofers, which were positioned in a staggered centre set-up.

‘With their new titanium drivers, the Aero 20As deliver exceptional vocal clarity and outstanding music reproduction qualities,’ he adds. ‘I was also very impressed with the new rigging hardware. It’s easy to use and saves quite a bit of time when flying the system. The UX-221A subwoofers are also really impressive. They have great power for their size and the low end performance is terrific.’

With the first project using the new system under their belts, Mardis was enthusiastic about the gear, his relationship with DAS, and prospects for his company’s business: ‘The Aero 20A line arrays and UX-221A subwoofers enable us to offer our customers a one-stop shop that includes sound reinforcement capabilities. I’m confident this investment will help grow the business and I look forward to developing a long-term, mutually beneficial business relationship with DAS Audio.’
