Have only just realised these are going to cost me 20 new B&C drivers.Confused ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.
Don't mind taking the rig to Caister but with 18 of these cabs, 24 boxes with the one inch radials, two inch radials and lenses plus the 8 x MX800 subs it's quite an exercise in logistics and we need plenty of real blokes without dodgy backs. Still, its probably about time Caister had some serious ASS with 30 kW of grunt behind it. LOL ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.

Now that would be a laugh, Ian and I in separate rooms in the same venue. Two ASS systems, one carefully kept as vintage and true to the original, the other one using the latest drivers available. All of us anoraks would spend the weekend in endless debates over the pros and cons of each approach and the different combinations we could come up with. I think we would enjoy ourselves though and it would be good business for the 7.5 ton truck hire companies.

Yup,i think we would have to end up paying them to let us use it there.

But yes.your second idea is much more like it.Thumbs Up

Just realised have a few more pics of the MX800s as we were rearranging the warehouses a couple of months ago.

OK we had three pallets of attitude arrive from Sweden and I went to have a look at them today.
 
 
Considering they were the property of a big PA company in Sweden and did twenty years work before being mothballed the cabinets are still completely solid and in remarkably good condition.
 
 
The only real damage, one of the plastic handles is broken so you can see the absorbent wadding inside.
 
Looking into a 212 mid horn from the front of the cab, a lot of angles going on there.
 
 
More angles but this time a view of the speaker chamber. Hadn't realised before quite how small a chamber the drivers sit in. This is a 212 but the 215 bass cab will also have a relatively small chamber. The partition between the drivers makes the rear of this cab two 1 x 12 boxes firing into a shared horn.
 
 
 
 
 
Picked up six of these from a forum member, all new and unused to go with the six JBL 2345 horns for the top end.
 
 
 
More to come in the next few weeks.
