Sorry to rock the boat again, can't resist…...
yet you were inquiring about the steak…… No offense rish, I don't know you personally, and my following comment is not aimed at you in particular. There are real pros on this forum that WILL put their money where their mouth is at. But there are just as much if not more time wasters, a lot of hot air and tire kicking as well.
THAT would be the time and place to ask Jon what drivers are inside……. I personally thought there were some much more interesting points mentioned about these boxes:
but……. (disclaimer: these are just my personal opinions, no more, no less, take it with a grain of salt )
+1 Are those prototype boxes? Are the actual production units going to have the exact same finish? Jon, I can see the point that you have created the whole box, down to the logo, and you're proud of that. But in my opinion that logo is just horribly hideous, sorry. You should get a professional designer to do a proper one, and redo the spec sheet. Good, professional looking promo material and logo are priceless !! Venue owners and other businessmen will not "get" your aesthetic message. They look at the state of the art commercial stuff. Then they look at your top, and see a trap box that looks like it was made in 1985…. I understand the reasoning behind your choices, but even as a non-business person I have to say the looks are not appealing at all. And regardless of your big following, a lot of people care about the looks very much!The Industrial/oldschool/DIY/freeparty aesthetics will inevitably cause great prejudice against your (supposedly) very high quality and performance product. Why shoot yourself (or your business) in the leg?
Have to agree…… Why not let your product shine, and project the high performance, premium quality in it's outward appearance as well? By the way, why is it just "RC Audio", not "RC1 Audio"? What's the story behind that? Anyway, good luck with your business Jon! Except for my aesthetic gripes, I'm very intrigued with your products. Sadly I will probably not have an opportunity to experience them in a long time, if ever…..

Personally I feel they are good value! Speakers I've heard of a similar sound quality cost at least the same if not more...I'd be more than happy to buy the prototype just b3cause of the quality and volume of sound. I appreciate they are not the prettiest boxes but I'd still be more than happy to play out with them anytime

I take it active cooling refers to water cooling like in computers rather than a whopping strong fan that will interrupt with a drivers performance.

Whilst I'm not especially familiar with this name, I've enjoyed reading about interesting innovative British PA solutions in this thread.
Obviously I haven't heard these specific boxes, but it seems the SPL quoted combined with the high sound quality - would perhaps put this box in competition with the similarly compact KV2 ES system. Looking at the price from that perspective, £3,000 per box appears to be rather good value. Good luck with the new product, I hope I get a chance to hear it one day!

much as i love the ES system, it does sound nice, its not 'that' loud, and sound quality goes rapidly down hill when you give it some beans. Not heard the RC1, but im not sure thats a fair comparison. They sound like completely different animals to me. |

Opposite end of the country for me, unfortunately. I hope folks are going to report back, for the benefit of those unable to attend. |

These do sound very good at high volume, I have not heard the quality drop off. |

I have heard the KV2 at Mediatech in South Africa and it was one of the best sounding systems there. even at high volume it was good. Rish

I was surprised at the criticism of ES too. We have a few KV2 rigs locally, all of which sound excellent - even when pushed.
The only problem I see with an ES system is the high price! |
