Hi,

I am gathering information to build a compact soundsystem. I have started selecting the scoops and according to what I have read on the forum the best choice seems to be the Shortman mini scoop. The thing is that it seems to be complicated to get them. It is not clear to me how I could contact the person in charge of the distribution and, as I am based in Germany, I have no access to the 2nd hand market.

I would be grateful if anyone can let me know the contact of the people who deal with these scoops.

Thanks in advance!!

pretty sure QSS soundsystem in bristol sells a quite similar cab.. wouldnt put my trust in "shortman" tbh.!

what sort of sound you intend to run, what "sound/tonality/throw" are you looking for?

Hi, 

Thanks for replying. I would like to start building a mini sound for roots reggae , dub. I will do it step by step calmly because it is supposed to be a learning proccess also. The first idea was a Shortman mini due to the the good reputation in therms of size-performance, but if its gonna be problematic I have no inconvenient in going for other mini scoop model. 

Corell I would be grateful if you could be a little bit more specific, I dont know where to look :)

So I would be open to suggestions.

BTW. I have found this on the internet, anyone knows who has designed it, and could give some feedback about it. The overall dimensions would be perfect...

budget, knowledge, venue size, transport limitations, amp power, mains power etc. - many factors to account for when it comes to building a sound imo :)

have you ever heard such mini scoops? what sound do you like based upon experiences?
