Hey all
 
Im in the process of ordering 8 looney bins, which i think would make them the first in Denmark.
 
My problem is that i will be reciving them only one day before a larger gig, and won't have time to fiddle a lot with Smaart/auto allign.
 
Anyone know a precise horn lenght, EQ and other recomended DSP-settings?
 
I plan to use 4 each side, with ARCS tops, running the looneys up to about 120hz. All ground stacked.
 
Thanks..
 
Hvedstrup

That seems like you're cutting it pretty close! I would try and sort out a backup plan just incase!
 
Sorry cant help you on the delay settings, but i think the horn length is the same as the 1850horn, 1.6m.

HPF of 24dB Butterworth at 42Hz should be good to start you off, I found they didn't really need any EQ but if you want to take some of the hard edge off the sound knock a few dB off at 90Hz.

Duno about the looneys but I run my 1850s down to 45hz with 24db slope then up to about as high as 150-170ish depending on whats being played. You can probably drop a bit lower with larger stacks. Also I find the delay is usually between about 1.6 and 2 meters. Also sometimes even to squeeze a little bit more out of them I add a few more db at about 60-70hz.

Thanks, for the swift reply guys.
 
I have a backup plan with a local rental company just in case.
 
I'll try with 1600mm delay, and see what happens.

If its Looney bins from Void try calling void direct instead of the pro audio parts number. Rog has explained that the level of service is different ( possibly higher ) for people ordering Void gear. I dont have the number handy but I am sure its probably on your mails.

I stand corrected. I had always thought that the Looneys were a void development.

I too have always been answered when phoning pro audio parts and have found their service excellent.
