Wasted SPL from the rear of cabs

 

Not that easy as both front and rear firing enclosures must have the same group delay properties and rolloff rates.

 

"Resonance of the room is also a major factor, i regularly run decks unisolated less than a meter away from a staysys X running at 3.5k, the box is very massive a so doesn't resonate behind."

 

Ha ha, it doesn't resonate because its the first time someone has addressed the problem or even knew there was a problem that needed fixing.

 

 

"How did I manage to squeeze 2 x 15 in the Arcline X."

 

Its all done with magic and mirrors. And the fact that the cabinet has to be build around the drivers. Many parts of the enclosure have to be fitted after the drivers have been installed and require tools that we built just for the assembly of the Arcline X. There are also many expensive materials like kevlar and magnesium that makes its construction possible. It takes a couple of guys many hours to load up an Arcline X, so form a labour point of view is expensive to make. The fact that its not an expensive product to buy means a tight margin and sales hate it when I reccomend it to anyone. But its just the best bass cab I've ever heard. I can't discribe how it sounds, it just turns me on. Even a few have the authority you would expect from a massive stack and eveytime I hear the X it takes me back to the first time I stood next to massive PA stacks at concerts in the 1970's. Its a very conscience bin that really tries to please.

 

 

I'm not sure those kind of levels will ever be allowed again at a show. If I had of known that then, I would have turn that f**ker of a system up untill the whole building fell down.

 

I was powering the Stasys X's from 3 Infinite 8 V2's that could have drawn around 60 amps into that impedance if I had of pushed it. The fact there was as much bass as most could handle and I was only drawing a max of 8 amps means there was another 52 amps of pure ballistic havoc just wating to happen. My only down fall was that I was so restrained.

 

Oh well, if there is a next time.

 

 

Surely this is something that needs to be worked on?

 

Like a new plasa with everybody's systems gettin like 12 mins each all day on rotation?

or even an extra plaza day?

 

surely it would be more productive than each manufacturer holding their own demo days, weeks apart in different spaces.

 

I feel let down every year at plasa that i can see/touch/smell but not hear!!!!

 

rant over!

 

I fitted the original rig,

 

they're about to buy a complete rack of Infinite amps, so i'd wait before makin any trips!

 

pm me and i'l arrange a demo tho.
