Big respect to all soundsystems, promoters and soundmen for attending. This was my first gig with the system in its latest form, and was definitely a good learning experience! I'm not going to comment on other sounds as that wouldn't be fair, but I'll talk about my sound: Got really good comments on the clarity of the mid/tops, and I'm actually surprised at how well the angled front facing mids filled the room! I was also personally pleased with the double 15's on mid-bass, because they have a much warmer sound than HD's which I have experience of. Coming back to the scoops, Lev you are absolutely right, there was not enough 30-40hz low bass going on, and several people spoke to me about that. There were a few theories but I *think* it came down to lack of power. For most of the night, my bass amp (Wattson 2k per side/4 ohms) was clipping and when I tried to push it more, the scoops started to "choke". One man suggested it might be a phasing issue which I tried to investigate, but that didn't seem to be the case. Either way, I'm going to test out the scoops again before BNE to find out properly. I appreciate the constructive feedback, so please people don't hold back! I really need comments like these to perfect the art of sound

Crucial - mids n tops were very impressive, surprised at how they filled the room so easily without getting stressed, bass amp is no way powerful enough for them drivers, not sure the box is suitable for the drivers either as they seemed to choke quiet easily and alot of cone movement but still just enough to fill the room, upper bass sounding nice with a decent throw, nice tune selection, well dont for your first outing Hawkeye - mids sounding nice, didnt really likee the tops, your bass impressed me alot, perfectly level sound not missing any notes, also nice tune selection the sound using the shortman minis with fane (what i heard) sounded good on bass, didnt really like the look or the sound from the rest of the uumm stack, alot of frequency missing well done all sounds and keep it up promotors this threads not the same without soundcritics review, pity you werent there Edited by tweeter box - 13 February 2012 at 4:03pm |

Good Attitude. EDIT:First Outing ? Well done for not panicking. Music selection was good, Sound of mids tops was clear and loud, considering not horn louded. Were those Ex Kibir scoops or SteveBs ? Sounded more like sub control on Pre-amp was swept high, or maybe scoops were being given upper bass. Have you previously tested Pre amp to confrim 100% operation?

These were Kibir La Amlaks. Scoops were definitely being fed sub, and tried adjusting EQ on sub with some help from Luke Ballistic but didn't seem to make a difference, mostly because the amp had already pretty much maxed out. One thing that I just realised might make a difference is that all the drivers were re-coned prior to selling to me, because at their last gig Kibir La Amlak had some dubstep kids playing on it and they blew all the drivers! I understand t1000's need a bit of wearing in before they reach their full potential so maybe this also has something to do with it?

Any ideas on how long it takes to wear them in? 20 hours?

PM Marvin/RMJ. Turbo loosening time by sine waves can vary. |

4 sounds in the lawn only one in the arena Killer Instinct had none good music but if it were me I'd start from scratch and rebuild! Next up Grace By Faith nice looking set good bass messy tops n mids could have sounded a lot better considering the amount of shop bought in the rack but I also understand that this was the sounds first ever outing so fair play to them. Crucial Hi Fi the most compact set on site nice round bass clean tops n mids good music too!
That leaves the sound that turned the venue from a hall into the arena Hawkeye Expeirnce. And by that I mean that instead of standing in front of the stack man had to stand back and admire! The bass resembled an earthquake at times crisp and tight the clean mids and tops (take note) a good pre-amp is at the heart of every good sound system and it's certainly true here. Good music and a good rapport just set it off. Hawkeye Experience number one sound in the lawn outperformed all of the sounds effortlessly maybe next time might be an idea to match them with a more experienced sound. Big up all crews taking part but at the end of the day there was only one sound Hawkeye Experience. Bless Fada Rebbs the Boss Rebbs Records
