The tweeter boxes are actually a slightly larger range than you would think. My lo-fi(nance) solution was to make a 2way passive crossover box. The dual horns are the same but the drivers are different. The lower horn has a more vocal mid comp on it and that can technically go lower than the horn, but not as efficient as the hf comp. Still it bridges the gap pretty well without costing ridiculous money. Obviously I would prefer to have less crossovers. I can run the tweeter boxes as low as 800 hz before it starts sounding horrid, but I usually run them at about 1.2khz. The passive crossover between the comp drivers is at 4.5khz I think.

Thanks for the kind words about the spot. This one was extra special, and found at the very last minute too. I almost did this party in my basement. LOL. My first time running two different rigs at the same party. My B system was fun too, but I forgot to take any pictures. That one was for a super low extension chill room. The one in the picture was for loudness, with a retro 90s goa theme. Free and illegal for authenticity.

Hi all bass! Hope you are well.
Second stage had the BP6s. I could only fit two in the van, but they were singing all night. On each side, above those I had a single 15, and then a coaxial mid top. It was for a small covered chill area, about 30 meters inside the tree-line. No soundbleed at all, and the stages were probably less than 100 meters apart. I love trees.

This weekend was the Zundert flower parade. I had some involvement in two floats. first one used EV RX, other one used Sound projects X-act with subs.

https://youtu.be/fCuIPpQnjOE" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/fCuIPpQnjOE

both used dedicated soundscapes, the last one blowing winds, supported by fans.. lots of fans.. first one used madrix for pixelmapping and loads of broken 15"and 18"speakers  for the looks of much gear.

winning float used D&B Q7

Pretty wild. Not very efficient but play all the 20's and 30's with ease and very clean so it can get quite unsettling.
Work fine fullrange but settled on 24-55hz with usb2 above and that gets a bit silly. Had a good go with them on everything from live bands, roots & dub and various different bass music genres. Has made it a bit easier at festivals when the full spectrum means you can play quieter but still nurture vibes. Had a little surprise visit from noise management at shambala though when using the void judgement dub to get an impedance reading on the k10 and a steppas vinyl (conscious youth) to check for deck feedback... turned into an inadvertent propagation test.

They're pretty manageable. About 110kg and similar size to a psyco. Good handles.

 Same system set up slightly different at a Girl Guides Festival (Bit of an odd one for us). This was the first time i'd used this system outside with X-Series amps and some slightly new X Over settings. (I had used them before in the Tunnel above, but it still of course sounded like a tunnel regardless). It was also hooked up to the Console via AES. Had loads of Bands, singers, acoustic acts through it over the course of the weekend and even I was fairly gobsmacked at how well it performed, and how little effort it took to get it sounding amazing for live performance. (its admittedly been a pain at times in the past)  Those amps make one hell of a difference. Shame we got such strict noise limits.

Yeah not that type of gig fella. Sure it wasn't ideal, but as you can see by the steep pitch of the marquee roof, I couldn't getc them any wider. Had to light the faces somehow! 

Also all my generic lighting is on 16a ceeform, so to save taking big dimmer racks and socca breakouts, a little 4 way dim pack with ceeform sockets is ideal for little setups like this.

Hope that puts your mind at rest...

Ps. It sounded really good...Wink

Using the TSA 4-1300 for the tops and the Lab FP14K clone for the subs.Building 2 more subs at the moment and waiting for the Walmec Paint gun to arrive to try some Warnex on them.

Did a stage on a small techno/house festival last weekend.
Nearest residential homes at 250m with a dba limit of 60 so cardioid it was.

Ran an 8 channel snake to the stage from the x32 rack, controlled through the ipad without any glitches all night. Ideal for quickly switching djs on stage.

System is 
18'' tapped horn subs
15'' bph kicks
double 12'' lowmids
bms coax midhighs, driven actively on JBL 2385 horns. 

All controlled by the netmax and mixed with the X32 rack.
Single ethernet cable between the X32 and the Netmax for both audio and control, both have a Dante card.

The amps are renkus heinz branded Crest P7001 for lowmids and P6001 for midhigh and high.
The subs are driven by Dap vision 3500 and the kicks by Dap extreme 2400.
I'd say its about a 500 capacity system set up like this with bassheavy EDM.
Got 16 subs in total for a bit bigger. Always have plenty of headroom on kicks, lowmids and midhighs so that scales up pretty easy.

I'm looking for a new wifi accespoint that i can easily rackmount. Any suggestions?
Been looking at the NowSonic stage router, which seems to fit the bill perfectly, but its a bit pricey.
Removable antennas with SMA connector considered as well with proper directional antenna.

Little bit of a whole lot of pouring rain under dodgy pop-ups this time. This is morning after. Judge the crowd by the dirt scuffs. We had about 70 effing hardcore psytrance fans in near freezing rain, and a small but full dancefloor at 3 am. Can't really do better than that without being a legitimate business with real infrastructure and maybe even a (gasp) cover charge and permits. It was very wet and I was nervous about swamping all night, but we pulled it off. No water in any gear other than mud spatter and some stray drops on the outside.

System is 4 1850s loaded with FaitalPro (two per side...I know I know), Four of my own bp6 mono stacked 18s (for everything horns miss <50hz), four of my own mid horns, 2 cheapy dual comp boxes, and a couple yamaha 15"monitors for mid fill (this worked much better than I expected). QSC AMPS. Everything was stacked low because pop-up tents eat treble if you stack tall. The comps were about shoulder height, but I knew that we were not going to have hundreds out in that weather so I figure body blockage would be less of a problem.

The people loved it. It was the best sounding system I have ever put up for sure.

Technically, I am retired from illicit free parties after this one. We killed it. People are begging me to take more gigs. Most systems on here would prob eat mine, as I my budget has never been at all fat, but I have some pride in the fact that my amateur designs, inferior amps, educated budget driver swaps and DIY crap is chosen over some very nice branded gear, even though they undercut my price. I may do some more legit and safe gigs but other life, family and spinal concerns are changing my priorities in my 40s. Young scrappy people got this.

I sincerely thank speakerplans for helping me to be poor, and deaf, and happy about it. <3

Honestly, it's different. I think we're so used to hearing systems where the ranges come from separate sources that when you hear it all come from one point it's a bit difficult to comprehend.

Also the J1 is scary loud up close, and you can kind of walk in and out of the parts of the paraline lens with some odd HF effects when you're within a few metres, so they work best at a certain distance from the crowd if you're going to be driving them even moderately hard.

Once you get over that initial confusion though, the clarity and depth is something else. The J1 really shone at Dimensions, Moritz Von Oswald was a particular highlight. Right to the back it was almost identical to the front, just a tiny bit quieter. The fact you get so much kick from the tops helps as well, it carries for miles and has a ton of impact. The J2 and J3 are a more complicated alignment, with the J2 focusing on massive quality at the expense of pure SPL. Given how impressed we'be been with the J1, I'm really excited to hear the rest of the range especially in lieu of most line arrays. I think they're fine tools for the job but this is definitely more pleasurable to mix on. You'll note that a majority of our shows are point source anyway because I do prefer to do that right when possible...

For smaller stuff, the synergy horns I've tried so far are great. That SM60F came out the box, I put a 50Hz HPF on it and played some music and frankly it sounded excellent with properly even coverage in the stated pattern and smooth decay outside of it too. No EQ, no manufacturer settings loaded, just raw box. You'll note that they also provide all their spec sheets as unprocessed response, which is very nice. Of course with presets they only get better.

Likewise the TH212, it sounds like a much bigger sub and has serious weight and warmth. The venue is a restaurant that has DJs on weekends so I think people will be surprised at the depth considering the sub won't be visible at all!

I hope to have some news to announce very soon on this whole thing, but this probably isn't the place for business type stuff, so keep an eye on our Facebook. I also hope to do some proper demo shows soon too, whilst it's a little bit quieter, and will of course let people know

I only heard their smaller stuff at a demo. Was impressed with the dynamicss and the clarity which stayed consistent a long way back.
The TH18 didn't have punch I'm used too, but I guess you get the kick from the mid/tops in their bigger boxes.
Don't like the orange color though. Gives them a DIY appearance. Looks like they are only good for trance music in a dark forrest.

Link up we did at Volks in Brighton the other night...a stack in each corner of the rear wall.

Ended up having to remove a scoop and mid from Kings Hi-Fi because it was blocking the fire exit by about 20cm....still large though!

The magnet assembly with what i assume to be a Zn plating.
They were shiny shiny when i bought them 2 years ago.

I agree, the 4590 oxidate very fast from the outside but does not affect the performance. Teunos, do you have a picture of the whole construct with the two drivers? Would be very nice to seeSmile. Last week end I had the first time live music playing over the big horns and the 4590. I would say it sounded like always, listening to a massiv HiFi System.

I have similar experiences with my BMS bass and mid-bass drivers. The magnet coating does seem to look crap quickly due to oxidation. They all work absolutely fine though and sound very nice. I was a bit disappointed when I first spotted it though, it looks very cheap on very expensive drivers.

Are those upper mids wired out of phase?

Nope. Six 8 ohm drivers wired in a series parallel arrangement - three drivers paralleled each side then those batches of three joined together in series.

Narrow bandwidth, high efficiency


Posted By: Teunos
Date Posted: 30 September 2016 at 9:15pm
Well, not really. Physically they can never, ever, ever, did i already say ever, ever produce output near the levels that the other components of the system can provide.

I did the math, and the simulation in hornresp, which says on a good day, downhill, wind in the back, it will maybe do 135dB continuous. That is excluding power compression.
148dB continuous??? Thats not even a few dB off, but 13dB. 
Who knows the solution to the problem.

if you take a look at the J1 graph you will see that the box is only 100db efficient in the range those emis works. Spec are funny thing, you can pick one freq where the box can do 148 and just put it there. Technically you would be correct :-)

Yet they unlike many many others do state 'band dependent' on the page, and the full unprocessed plot is in the product PDF. The mids do limit first, but they are doing more than 135dB I assure you. I've had my own calibrated mic out and run the individual bands.

Thats a lot of sub for only 2k people.
Is that yours or RF shows?

On the 135dB, i admire your work kyle, i do. But i would like to see those measurements if youre okay with it and have them. Calculating from the parameters of the eminence driver in hornresp with a very good assumption i just dont see how they can go louder than that. Will post a sim tonight. Also the bandwidth im a bit toggled by. They have 0,2mm xmax and they go beyond that at 450hz at 150watt. The bms can reach down to there probably on such a big horn, but the 18" wont get up to there still sounding good. Whats the magic?
As a physicist, it just boggles me.

That's the guys at RF. We'd never get away with that here.

~400Hz is indeed the crossover point, don't ask me how but vocals and instruments sound great. I honestly thought I was making a mistake reading the TF from the processor when I was setting them up but everyone is amazed if I tell them that after they listen to it. And believe me it isn't much more than 135 but they seem not to struggle, again the loading is not standard on them at all if you look at the horn mouth exits.

Of course it is before flying. 2 hangs of 8, fly point height was 6m.

My 6 year old son has access to kid's software (on his schools website) that allows him to place drum, other percussion and synth sample sounds into a very basic sequencer..... What he comes up with sounds very similar.

Aura demo gig with a good team from here and Will & his team in France.

I know what you mean, i wanted so badly to use this rig on techno or trance stage. But no luck. As a revenge, i refused to baby sit this and spent most of my evening sleeping on TRS covers behind techno stage. That one had 8 x HD-MH and 20 x TRS-218. Didn't stop me from getting some good rest Big smile
