one day will try and have a listen to this

 

 

Will it be out at any festivals again? It made Shambala for me when I walked in the woods and saw it.

Kicking myself that I wasn't at Kelburn when some of these cabs were playing :(

i'll try and upload a little vid in a bit.

Great to meet you Al, hopefully the music wasn't too odd whilst you were there!

Here's a quick vid for Toasty:

(finally made me manually sort my DNS so embedded youtube vids work on speakerplans again! woop)

No wasted space here.

Bring something well mastered of your choice and have a listen, sounds effortless and quite Hifi to me, but i'm maybe biased.

Although obviously you'll have fun with a track with some real bass in it.

Who needs a forklift when you've got a crane , although we may well get an all terrain forklift for our site.. I'll have to make a little vid from saturdays footage to show how easy they are to move..

Thanks,

I'm crossing the terra's and mids at 121hz. Meta mids are a 12" on a 100hz fc horn, and they cross perfectly at 121hz, whilst still having that nice snap of the snare drum.  I did play with porting them, but couldn't get it to work in the form factor to any benefit, and a simple tractrix thats long enough sounds nicer. 

I wanted to keep it simple if possible and going three way has many benefits, like getting off axis response even across all the cabinets, lighter, and less sources blending together to mess up the phase and impulse  responses.

I was initially a bit worried if the mids could keep up, but running all four off an HHV800 proved that to be unfounded! I forgot to get my spl meter out, but sims show 135dB with four cabs in free space and only 200w each.. The terra's play nicely up higher due to the smooth contours, no 180 doglegs in the throat, so thats no problem, could probably go higher, but i think the frequency distribution works well across the cabs currently.

 

In 2009 a driver had somehow become damaged in transit. The coil was probably old and charred and the shaking of the truck's suspension killed it. It kind of ruined the sound because it moved in sympathy and made a horrible scratching sound. I took the driver out eventually, which is no fun when it's upside down inside a row of terrahorns. They were humming nicely in 2008 though.

 

 

Coincidentally, from back in my yoof, the classic soundlab stack photo from Trefil quarry was to the left in the photo below of where we had set up the day before, they asked if we minded them setting up and we just sat and laughed at them  this was all pre terrahorn days ofcourse..

Tse215's which i still have 2 originals sat here gathering dust in the way.. 

i meant pre- me designing and building speakers, i didn't ever have anything that would have matched a terrahorn, if there even was/is anything in the UK..

RED!

Some things are best forgotten 

*edit  but there were some pretty girls helping there..

 

looks like your moving a grand piano around  i think you should use 24mm ply for the terrors solid

That's one funny looking piano you've been playing!  They are easy to move around, and braced where needed to stop panel resonances, all 24mm ply would do is make them stupidly heavy, but if you were paying i can do that. 

Did you get a deal on the wall of RED like iceland buy 1 get 1 free

but serioulsy i know loads of people tek the p@@s but did it sound that bad?

Currently only 8, and i have four, but the world needs more, so i'm about to start building a run of 8-10, and i'm selling my original demo four (£900ea) to help fund it and make space, for the new stock.

The other four apparently have just been sold, as the soundsystem who had them said they were too powerful, and they made a girl violently sick from the bass pressure .

The Definition of "sick bass"

I hope you don't think they were actually anything to do with me! but i hope they got a really good deal buying that many!?

Bearing in mind it was probably over 10 years ago, my hazy memory of them is it was perhaps a little incoherant and messy sounding as you would imagine, i also remember it being really harsh and screachy and wondering how the crew that put it up could dance infront of it, but there was a bit of upper bass due to all the cabs, just not very nice overall...

The BassBQ is open to all

 

Selling them for being too powerfull

 

One day I will own some..

Really does sound spot on and looks more in your face than the pics , look forward to round 2 

Tom, the three phase and twigs sounds special!, i didn't clock that, did the guy that ran it call himself wizard, or is that my imagination?

Trefil was a good place, great views, i remember being shown it by the local Hedlu, a few weeks beforehand after we got chatting in a layby .

 

  I've had many a good night at Trefil but unfortunately its now inaccessible as they only open the gate during weekdays and even if you did get up there its all changed, they've dumped tons and tons of earth and huge rocks up there so there is literally no where to put a rig anymore.

Next one this sunday:

Treen at BassBQ 3

ooh, my shaky camera phone youtube correction is a bit weird!

Thanks Guys.

It's still set up so if you can, then come down on over the weekend to check it out, Sunday will be the a good one though, link to the charities face site:

Edit: Crap, got my week's mixed up. I'm down *next* weekend :(

Thanks, 

The Dock story is a long one!.. but, brick built in late 1800's, it had been given free to Thames Water in the 80's, closed to the public, then left derelict and polluted, squatted by a massive building contractor, and i've helped with the charity set things up, to return it to use as moorings.

We first got a community boat, used for various things, and it's on the land here temporarily as a venue. The goal is to get the land around the dock opened up again permanently, as public space and arts venue/s, as a support to a self sustaining creative quarter in a neglected part of east London. We are in the process of cleaning it up and making safe, but hire out various parts for different events, and sometimes I can get the whole system out .

Some may know i have a Barge with my workshop in, and i pay the charity to moor outside the dock, whilst we try to raise funds to open up the dock, and the new public space/footpaths... 

oops. i need to go and babysit a folk band in the community boat tonight..

Thats kind of it though, we have few residents nearby so having a massive outdoor system is not too much of a problem, and the acoustics as the sound reverberates down the dock is amazing.

Finally made a shiny PDF! here's the specs for the whole http://www.metaacoustics.com/metasystem.pdf" rel="nofollow - Meta system .pdf

You're probably talking about the parachute? No pole just, hung.

@sam pop over!

Here's another video, from another sound night we did here, with better shots of the space and a few speaker shots:

Thanks Tony, the concept evolved over time and testing to something that I'm now really happy with.

 

bring it to brum lol
