Quest QM450a are king when it comes to Queen
The Australian Queen Tribute Show is not just a group of guys playing Queen songs, if this press quote is an indicator:
"The Australian Queen Tribute Show, is the best Queen Tribute you will EVER experience. They stay true to everything Queen, performance, music, sound, look, stage presence, movement. Gareth Hill is Freddie from the minute he hits the stage, right to the end of the show. Close your eyes, you will think you are experiencing the real thing".

5 x QM450a powered speakers with HF flares rotated to horizontal fold-back mode
One comment about the show is not just the quality, but the consistency. One thing that is now consistently good is the band's fold-back system.
Many of the band's shows are on concert sized stages, but for the more club sized shows, a more compact and practical solution is required. Recently the band's production company purchased a Quest QM series powered fold-back system consisting of QM450a powered speakers. The rotatable asymmetrical horn system means that the boxes, when set to fold-back mode can give a very uniform coverage of the stage area without hotspots or the need for excessive EQ. Great for a quick setup and sound check and the system takes everything the band can throw at it.
QM450a and 600as make a great drum-fill combination
The band does not stop at the monitor system. For the club shows the band uses a combination of Quest and Nexo as the front of house system. Sub bass is the Quest HPI 18LP 18" compact bass system. This combination of 2 x sub bass per side covers this venue with a capacity of 250 -300 and the system does not even get to full power. Plenty of headroom and even coverage.
The audio system's owner, John Kaye commented; "great results from this system and for compact size, light weight and quality performance . Thanks Quest"

Sound check is quick thanks to the smooth frequency response and even close field coverage of the QM450s asymmetrical HF horn
