Sorry to post another picture of the rack and this is mainly for the attention of sinfinity and andyamp, but also for anyone else interested.
This was taken in honiton motel for a hard dance night, just before we had to turn the amps down. We had noise complaints when the system was running with no VU meter lights what so ever. The bass was mainly the problem, XP5000 running 2.66ohm per channel running 3K of bass per channel. Every time we got a flicker of a VU led we had a phone call from the local residents who live 70m down the road. On this topic, the resident called environmental health, to which the reply was "we are unable to come out to deal with your complaint until tuesday morning" which is when the resident took it upon themselves to call the venue directly instead! ------------- According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction. http://www.truesoundhire.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - Sound Hire |

The UKP1300 was running compressions in mono on one channel, and monitor on the other channel. We always keep our amp cut back for compression drivers like that. And I'd say it doesn't make you better or worse, just ultimately as good  ------------- According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction. http://www.truesoundhire.co.uk/" rel="nofollow - Sound Hire |

As they were in a mono stack it is fine. Ran mids at 8ohm but amp on mono on the 2100x.

Top rack just does 4 x 18's (600w Fanes) and 15 +1, RCF plus DJ Monitors. Pub rig.
Sometimes the Crown get's swapped out for one of the igger ones if it's younsters, but for wedding/normal the underpowered route is more than enough.
The other rack is work in progress. The idea is 4 x 186 4r drivers in (not made my mind up) then upwards...I have funny felling I'm going to end up in scoop world....

as for the badge - that unit is an older demo unit that is gettig replaced by a new unit in a couple of weeks, hence the different badge.
