RCF TT+ AUDIO GTX and GTS Elevate Perfect Sound's System Performance and FlexibilityPerfect Sound, a Washington, DC-area production company specializing in live sound and corporate event reinforcement since 1998, has recently invested in the RCF TT+ AUDIO GTX system to support its growing slate of show productions, delivering powerful coverage, refined midrange detail, and clarity at any volume. Founder Glenn Tapscott has spent more than five decades in professional audio, guiding Perfect Sound through large-scale government events, conventions, graduations and regional music festivals. While the company has long relied on RCF systems, the decision to bring GTX into the fleet's inventory marked a strategic step aligned with expanding work in the corporate and special-events market. "The size of the system fits so many of the jobs we do," Tapscott explains. "We tried the GTX as a demo, and between what I heard and the feedback from my A1s, it just made sense. The quality of the sound, especially through the mids, is what convinced me." Perfect Sound acquired 12 GTX 10 line array modules paired with GTS 29 double 19-inch subwoofers, and the system immediately became a go-to for mid-sized stages and venues. One of the first deployments was at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference inside the Washington, DC Convention Center, an application that cemented Tapscott's confidence. "We received a lot of compliments," he notes. "The GTX 10s worked beautifully for speech and music, and the setup process was fast and intuitive for the crew." Senior systems engineer and front-of-house mixer Eric Harris, who has worked with Perfect Sound for nearly 30 years, echoes that assessment, particularly when it comes to the subwoofers and overall tonal balance: "I love the GTX system," says Harris. "The GTS 29 double 19s are very tight and incredibly responsive. You can really feel the quickness. Compared with other systems out there, the difference is noticeable. The entire PA is solid, smooth and doesn't fatigue your ears. I can stand right in front of it, and it still sounds great." Harris has mixed several high-profile events using GTX, including the BET HBCU Honors; Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference; DC Emancipation Day 2025; CIAA festivities in Baltimore, MD; and the Lake Arbor Jazz Festival. Whether the system is flown or ground-stacked, he says the performance remains consistent. "Coverage is excellent in both configurations," he continues. "And because of how well the system is tuned, you can run it at lower levels and still get everything you need out into the room. It's very musical, not harsh, and audiences and performers both notice." Part of that ease stems from the integrated amplification and onboard processing. "Everything is in the amps, DSP, presets and connectivity," Harris adds. "It really becomes plug-and-play. It's customizable, intuitive and fast to deploy. The crew picked it up right away." The investment by Tapscott and Perfect Sound builds on a long relationship with RCF, as Perfect Sound also operates HDL 20 and HDL 50 systems. For Tapscott, GTX represents a natural evolution and a reliable tool for the next chapter of the company's work. "Where we are now as a business, we needed a system that could cover corporate events, festivals, and everything in between," he says. "GTX delivers that flexibility with the sound quality to match, not to mention it was a smart business decision so we can handle those types of jobs and clients. Once people hear it, they ask what it is, and they want to mix on it. With this system, at this price point, RCF has most certainly entered the building."
