This event is where all soundsystem fans should attend!! It's all about the sound system equipment & the way the sound man uses it!! The building is a solid concrete rendered building, so it sucks the living daylights out of a soundsystem!! (no matter how good it is) But those who know how to produce a great sound from their equipment will master the venue!! Remember this event is full of all types of sound men, that's why the vibes is wicked!!! I'm always in attendance, again big up AV Promotion for keeping the soundsystem business kicking!!!

I have just come back from the sound check. First and foremost big respect to all the three sound who played on the night.
As I entered Rapture sound were playing: they had 4 bass bins and they had 4 double midrange boxes with horns in them and another 3 midrange boxes with another 2 sets of horns. I couldnt see the make of them. In total they had 13 x 15inchs for midrange. The set sounded too loud and lacked clarity. They were using a laptop with serato which seemed to be sending a distorted signal to their mixer and then it went downhill from there. They were using the old peavey 2000 amps from what I could see. All in all the set sounded medioka and lacked quality and for the amount of midrange they had in the building sould have sounded alot better. Now if you think that sounds like alot of equipment wait until you hear what Chin Hi Power were using.. First and foremost they had 3 x at least 24 until amp cases fulled to the brim with 2 of them filled with Peavey amps and C audio amps. Looked extremely impressive and their boxes also looked imporessive, Looked like they were getting ready to play in Wembly arena! They were using 4 scoop bins with another 4 midrange boxes. Each midrange box consisted of a 15 inch, 12inch, a folded horn and 4 bullet tweeters. On top of that they had another 32 tweeters (4 boxes of 8 tweeters). So in total they had 48 tweeters, 4 horns, 8 midranges and 4 bins. There noise box sounded extremely loud and very clear but that was the only thing that sounded good. Their mic section was poor and sounded flat like it needed to be eq'd. There bass was weak and it sounded like they just needed to tune up their set. Marcus hi power had the least equipment but in my opinion was exactly right for the size of the hall. The set up was basic but worked. They had 4 scoop bins, 2 x 15 inch wide flare mid range boxes and another 2 x 12inch flared mids with 8 tweeters. By far they sounded the cleanest o all the 3 sounds and had by far much less equipment. Their bass was solid and midrange was good but needed better tweeters (looked like they were using piezos) In my opinion they sounded the best by far and although sound check is not about music, they also played the best music and were consistent in each round. However to put this into context, although Marcus Hi Power by far sounded the best, all 3 sounds who played the previous month at soundcheck would all have sounded better (Qualitex, Vibes Squad and Entity). I think the promoters are clearly trying to put sounds who are of a similar quality in each round of soundcheck. Big respec to AV promotions, cant wait for the xmas edition which I hear the line up is good! |

+1 soundcritic. agreed on most of what is said above.
Rapture's double 15's were wharfdale and the single 15's and tweeters were intimidations. owch!!! They need to turn the volume down on there laptop for a start, and then!.................EEmmmm.
Chin high power...............................Tooooooooo much of everything equipment wise caused confusion in the end product. (40 x Piezos!!!......WHY???????)
King Marcus.... Nice to see old school sound still doing the business. just need to get rid of those piezos and get a couple of nice comps and some bullets and thats it.
Overhall a nice night again, nice to meet up with a few sp members. Worth the drive
Big up to AV Promotions Edited by QSS - 29 November 2010 at 1:22am |

couldnt have said it better myself, Marcus sound was very nice, controlled and powerfull bassline, needed some more on the top end though, best music selection by far! (anybody know the leroy smart 7" they played?) not sure if they were using a preamp or something similar??
Chinhipower had enuff equipment to do 2 x trucks at nottinghill lol
