You've gotta do the gig m8, not only does corporate stuff pay silly money because its not coming out of their pocket but it will be worth it to see the look on the supermarket monkeys face.

Play bass heavy music all night and turn it up when you get asked to turn it down. All the young'uns will love it. Get your cash up front too.

(PS. I *hate* most supermarket managers )

Saturday night linkup with Adambomb!


finishing adams X1's ... cheeky bugger got me to solder all 8 speakons!



amprack - T-amp running two X1's a side
        - Audiohead Ah4000 running the 186's
        - Behringer ep2400 bridged, one per mid
        - 3rd generation running stereo comp drivers
        - Alto macro 2400 running one pair 12" wedges
        - carlbro sitting there looking sh*t doing nout
        - berry system controller
        - crest amp running 15" JBL wedges (not pic'ed)


FOH with hedgemonkey soundcheck ... the huge rack on stage with Cubase SX computer, effects and synths!


left stack


main mixing desk, with graphics on FOH and monitors, comp for vocals and mixer power supply


party in swing, with the lasers too!


DJ with his decks, and power distro in background (32amp -> 4 x 16amp sockets on rcd's)


decks into the DI box


power cable and main in plug (3phase wired only to 1 phase). Thats a large screwdriver for size comparison!


Overall, the system was lush! many compliments from people in the PA life. The X1's bass is silly, was lost slightly being outside but should be phat inside. The 186's kicked hard and very loud. can't wait to have my planned 8! midops were nice and clear yet deafening because of the lovely headroom on the amps. all in all, a beauty of a system - if you want to hear it this weekend (19th-20th) it will be at buckland dinham beer festival webby here. Come say hello, me and Adambomb will be around!!
