The Grateful Dead’s Wall of Sound 💫

 


The Wall Of Sound 






The legendary sound system is one stop on a long, strange road.

The Grateful Dead’s legendary "Wall Of Sound" which debuted in their shows this week in March of 1974 is an engineering marvel. 

Although several different configurations of the 75-ton Wall of Sound are documented, one consisted of 586 JBL speakers and 54 Electro-Voice tweeters, powered by 48 McIntosh MC-2300 amps. Note: 48 (x) 600 = 28,800 watts of continuous (RMS).
