i was in a bar called ku bar (carlisle) last nite. on the top floor they had a dj + sound system brought in. was laughable tho. they had 2 scoops and 4 12" +1" top cabs all carpeted and stuff looked nice maby 3kw to drive it all. but they had f**ked one of the scoops.... thing was these guys were CHAV's (uk members to this forum will know what they are) and they couldnt figure what was wrong. i was there for 1 hour. the volume was going up and down and the music would cut out every few minutes so that they could try summing out. this was at 10PM!!!!!!!! bar closes at 1am. then the staff had the cheek to ask us to pay 7 quid to stay!!! the more i think about it i wish i had paid that 7 quid and stayed insted of finding another bar because it was just so funny to watch.

any way this post is a little bit off the topic of the forum but the moral of this message is chavs + speakers they cant seem to handle = a pissed off DJ + laughing audience of 100people + embarased chavs.

in terms of my sound system have just finished all the painting, does any one know where i can get some wire grill mesh. like a sheet of it kinda thing? in the uk.

@STIK_sounds

Try looking on the Pro Audio -> Speakers section of eBay, there's a guy selling mesh on there and he'll cut it to size too. Failing that the big B@Q stores have something similar

the second one is more impressive, but I Would recomend that you move the cvasi-horn loaded mid-tops above the 15"+ tweeter speakers to give you more trow of the mid -high frequencies and better kick from the 15"-ers at chest level.

what you got going on there then? driver and cabinet wise that is, looks like
3 line array style layout mid tops, two bass and a horn/bp hybrid sub? you
must be able to carry well over quite a crowd with that stack. a very
impressive monolith, but one for which i hope you had compression straps...

Hi James,

This exactly half of the system I have.

Tops are made line array way but i dont still made the gear to lift them up. They have two Cellestion Truvox 1225e and one Eminence PSD2002 crossed at 1800Hz.

Mids and low mids are exellent beside the fact that Truvox is not an exellent driver.

How ever i am not very satisfied how PSD 2002 sounds and looking for upgrade (any suggestions are welcomed).

Bass cabs are made by the Selenium plans and are loaded with two Eminence Kappa Pro15LF. The one at the bottom does not have a grill yet

I didnt do any mesurement for how low they go but I presume that 6 stacked together goes down to atleast 45 Hz. And they realy rock.

I power the rig with Peavey GPS 3400 amps for up to 120Hz and with Crest CPX2600 for mid and hi.

Procesing is DCX2496 by Behringer.

The rig sound very good and can handle up to 5-6000 people but i am still lookint for better compression driver. Problem is that very few are available here.

I was considering Oberton drivers but in configuration of 2x12 + 2x1,4 but can not find suitable horns that will fit two in 10 inches high.

 

Ok have fun and regards from sunny Macedonia

nice, i was just down in thessaloniki for a bit in greek macedonia, very sunny
indeed. the selenium designs are pretty cool indeed, i love the frento fundo
system (possibly not what it's called but it is based around the hb1505c1).
the obertons come highly recommended, who else do you have suppliers
for?

james.
