Acoustically the worst sounding room I have played in! I thought drapes were meant to improve sound?!
I was set up in a corner to try and make the most of the sound. The bass was heavy at the DJ controls but Didnt sound as heavy stood in front of the speakers. The tops were way too bright (brighter than usual) and were turned right down. Anyone have any explanations?


That's marquees Cry

Bass goes straight through the canvas and the top bounces back at you

Hey DJ!!! Turn up the Bass Big smile

As cookie suggests. quite sensitive to it being correct or its like adding room adjustment. Can hear the bass sound like its being moved away from the bin. Top also gets a lot brighter when its out.

The system sounded beautiful, the tops were as smooth as silk and the bass was round and heavy.
Nothing but compliments on the looks and sound of them.
I LOVE THIS JOB!







Looking really good Cookie. Are they the intended top hats on the thams?

They aren't. The top hats you drilled were too small, I tried to bore it out to fit, but the damage caused by
A) not having a pillar drill (or required steady hands) to drill a hole saw perfect central of the existing hole
B) cutting holes in finished cabs is not smart anyway

So I thought if I fit some external top hats fitted with insert nuts, it would be the best thing.

was it the diameter of pole that was too small for the weight of the midtop so larger top hat used? Yeah not an easy job to do and there's a cutout in the brace at 90 degrees to the hole and the same width so that would have needed widening too.

Solution looks good tho and sturdier. It doesn't look as though it would have been possible to get that top hat in anyway, it looks too deep so would have hit a baffle.

Very sturdy indeed. I just foam gasketed the external pole mount to seal the hole and used some nice Allen bolts. The hole cut out was the same O.D as the 35mm speaker pole.
I was going to buy some shallow internal top hats but I didn't like the fact they wobbled around quite a lot, it's the depth of the mount that keeps the pole nice and upright.

They had a Sentry SPL monitor in there, even though the bass wasn't as good as usual, I could still easily go into the red and risk having my power cut off! (Before anyone asks, there wasn't any more available sockets to bypass the sentry not that I would do that! )

The most recent gig I did in Birmingham.
Awkward spaces in the room forced me to set up like this - yet still making me smile every time it's turned on. 
It really is a wicked little rig!
