We are looking for a sound or PA rig owner with cabs that are of the mini variety, be it a scoop or some other design. This is an invitation for you to enter your sound/rig into our monthly event (Soundoff), where other mini cabs designed will be compared. If you have a design you belief can wipe the floor with any other then even better. Tony A.S.S has agreed to enter his rig with his RX18jnr scoops. If this interests you then please inbox me or call 07932998546 for more info. |

Jeez, you guys got a totally different idea of what is "mini" to me, now the Q12 that's "mini"  Mini scoop is a misnomer, it should actually be a " slightly smaller version of the BIG scoops"  Tony ------------- www.forteaudio.eu - BMS - db-Mark Processors - Lexon (SAE) |

What is this war talk Tony? Are you saying that you are the real mini-sound soundman? That your Q12's will destroy all other mini sounds, owned by mini-sound soundbwoys, in the mini sound soundoff...  ------------- https://www.instagram.com/my_modular_journey/ |

It's just a term coined for smaller versions of a full size scoop. Some call them midi scoop but mini scoops to me sounds better. |

When i was a kid i once got a mini scoop at the ice salon. I have to say it's just no match to a full size scoop, not enough body, to small for my licking.  ------------- https://www.instagram.com/my_modular_journey/ |

I'd like to put my baby 12" subs up against something of a similar size just to see how they compare. They measure 45x45x60. I've not come across many small 12" subs, their either plastic and lightweight or design for home cinema so drop stupid low but not very loud. I've never really pushed them but every one who has heard them, loves them. |

well people here always say mini scoop is just a reflex box so maybe someone should bring some reflex boxes to punish the silly mini scoops. ------------- If he turns me into a zombie, first person I'm coming after is you. |

I'm quite happy playing ANYTHING. I know my subs won't match mini scoops for output, but I'm confident in the quality department. ------------- “The fact is this is about identifying what we do best and finding more ways of doing less of it better” |

So let me get this right, above bass is a standard system and all bass must be 'mini'? Reason being Tony ASS rig has mini scoops but above is not what I would call mini bit confusing at the moment |

CSG, i use the BMS components in most of my boxes, but i have never made a subwoofer using any of their 18 inch drivers. This is mainly because in any simulation i have done they had at least 3db less output aginst pretty much any other decent 18 inch driver. Now my question for is. Are the sensitivity numbers on the BMS big boys somehow rated very conservatively so the results are not that good, or they are really a bot low on output? Have you compared your subs with some other comparable subs with some of the known suspects like the TBX100? ------------- Marjan Milosevic MM-Acoustics www.mm-acoustics.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/MM-Acoustics/608901282527713 |

Turned around you could also ask if the sensitivity measurements given by a lot of manufacturers are a little optimistic... A bit like the values given for xmax. I'd be very interested to hear some of the smaller subs compared as I regularly use a pair of Q15s for smaller gigs. I also have a dual 18" design I've been working on which is based on Tony W's work with his Q-series (in that it uses assisted alignment). They will be using the BMS 18S450. I'd be happy to bring one along to a test-out sometime in the new year once they're built. Not sure whether they qualify as 'small' though; 1000H x 638W x 700D for 2 x 18" ------------- Proper capitalisation is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse. www.facebook.com/tremoracoustics |

When I was designing those subs, my prime considerations were sound quality, perceived throw ( there get used a lot outdoors at large events and musicality. One of my pet hates is one note droney bass. I auditioned various drivers, but for me the 18S430v2 had the best balance of factors.i am quite sure there are higher output options, but rinsing every last DB from a rig is not what I am about, and I have the luxuries of having plenty of power in my racks, plenty of subs when needed and working In venues that have effectively unlimited power for my needs. My Christmas install for instance has 0.8MW of gen plant for instance. ------------- “The fact is this is about identifying what we do best and finding more ways of doing less of it better” |

Exactly my thoughts as well although I have to say that I hope that the source material is better recorded than a lot of the stuff I have heard over the last few years, of any genre. By the way Ray you sure you don't have a secret passion for C&W as your the only one that ever mentions it on SP. :) Tony ------------- www.forteaudio.eu - BMS - db-Mark Processors - Lexon (SAE) |
