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.. |

System looks amazing. Top job!
Heard the terras when they fired In anger frenchtek and was blown away, can't wait to hear the mids and tops as well. Need to start saving some pennies up for a stack of my own.

I think when Disjunkt took some terrahorns to Frenchtek, one driver blew early on? So maybe not the best representation. Come to the next BassBQ for a listen to the whole system

Its a superb looking system. Whats in the mids? Is it a 12"? Did you find the mids went low enough to meet the terra horns so no more use for the old upper bass horns anymore?
Where are you crossing over? Are you running the terra horns higher than would otherwise be possible due to the shape / curve of the horn? They dont half look pretty, curves in the right places |

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. |

I wonder if it's worth using a shorting cable for cabs during transit.. It won't stop shifting magnets but could have helped stop the suspension let the VC hit the backplate on a big bump.. or just get a truck with nice suspension..

They are the best bass cabs I have ever heard or seen.
