2" exit CD ...crossed ... really low.. like at 800hz (so blocking cap at 400hz = 49uF) 1.4" exit drivers, around 1.2khz to 1.6khz (blocking cap at 600hz-800hz = 24.8uF) 1" exit drivers, least a 2khz crossover (blocking cap at 1khz = 20uF)
That is not uncommon unfortunately and it can be an uphill battle the whole way to get them onboard. Sometimes these same people don't think anything of dropping thousands on their own instruments to get that special tone but for some reason a PA system that can produce clean vocals over top of the racket they generate isn't their problem. |

As Conanski says above, it's great to see someone taking advice seriously, and rethinking the original plan. I myself am not always that good to listen
It IS difficult to convince people that has no interest in it, to spend money on upgrading the sound system or other equipment. I had the same problem with a band I used to play in. No-one in the band except me transported their equipment in protective bags or hard cases. As I was responsible for arranging transportation and packing the van or trailer, I was also responsible to take great care to pack the equipment and instruments safely. It took me years to convince them to spend the money to protect their own equipment, because accidents happen and I wouldn't want to take responsibility. When each bought cases and gigbags for their equipment, it seemed like they all had an epiphany, and they realised how much easier it was for them and me to pack everything, and how much easier it was when all cables and small loose items were in a few cases. What I'm trying to say is that you probably have to convince the band that it's a good idea to have a decent sound system, because it IS a good idea. The challenge is definitely HOW to convince them, especially if they are some of the more traditional old-school jazz musicians. I've had some prejudices about these kind of people, and sadly quite a few of them have proven to be true. Just out of curiosity, do you have any pictures of your sound system? I would love to see it. |
