Check out the intro page, which lists PSW's Clapton tour articles, about the show in L.A., Concert Sound UK, the Cobranet-based RAVE system, and KF900 system notes. One Man's Corporate Dave Wilkins tells PSW about how he provides reasonably-priced and configured systems for corporate events. How to plan, how to prepare, what gear he uses, and how to keep some Hot Spots handy for those inevitable last minute requests.
