Had some fun a cuple of weeks ago!
Test was done in a big warehouse, DEQ2496, ECM8000 on some foam on the floor 1,5m from speaker. Do not take the spl/m/w seriously. Room did a lot to the plot but you can see how much sensitivity diff between cabs :-) Impedance has been nom and cabs with x2 drivers plays 3dB higher. No filter, DSP or any Nexo hocuspocus. Cabs tested: Tham15, PD.154 loaded Nexo LS500 Nexo LS1200 Nexo RS.15-C Nexo Alpha S2 Edited by LjudLahger - 24 July 2015 at 11:24pm |

if you did not use the nexo processing, then the above is a bit meaningless in my opinion - the processor i an integral part of the system, the boxes are designed and tuned to work along with the processor.
whether or not that is a good thing is another subject altogether...

True, but I was curious of the cab itself, and from a DSP view "how much are ok to eq" and what starting point they got, if you know what I mean.

fair enough, but as i said, nexo really needs the processing.

Does the Nexo processor effect the sensitivity then? As I got the impression the ccomparison was done to illustrate the differing sensitivity between the cabs and not How flat the plot looks.

I don´t know about the Nexo bass bins above, but I do know that the PS10/15 sound like shite without their processor.
It is interesting to see how well the Tham 15 does against the 'raw' Nexo cabs, but really you have to agree with csg - without the processing, it´s all a bit meaningless. |

what sort of processing we talkin about here..... could you, just for the sake of a test and a quick ten mins, apply the SAME processing to the tham and see how she sounds?
i understand they are different boxes with different driver and all that shizzle but ya'know, as you have the boxes out anyway............. |

Thats an idea! This was done a cuple of weeks ago but maybe we could do it again! And yes its a shame I did not test with processing but it was the cabs it self i was after. So if there be a next time I will try to get all meassured. Anyway, I thought this would be interesting for some people because you dont see this everyday And fewer people wants to share here anymore :-) |

^^This, or run the Nexo's with the controller and the thams with whatever settings they need to sing and then see what the result is.

If you didn't know, the reason for this is that the passive crossover in the PS10/15 is not designed to give a flat response and doesn't contain any of the attenuation required for the HF because this just wastes power dissipating it in resistors in an L-Pad. Instead the attenuation is done in the controller. It's very hard to recreate what the controller does just using EQ.
