Re: Omni 15 full range build x2

Top 8s along with a T39 would put most clubs to shame.

Re: WH10 CD vs Peizo

Looks good, if there's enough clearance to fit the HF driver.

Re: Omni 15 full range build x2

You can use them for this, but I wouldn't. Separate subs and mains work better, as it allows optimal placement of each, which is almost never in the same place.

Re: Separating Overlapping Frequencies

You don't need high tech to see the room response, just a phone. Use C weighting, slow response. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... n_US&pli=1

Re: Separating Overlapping Frequencies

You need a board with EQ on every channel. The female voice is most prominent from 500-1000 Hz, as is our hearing sensitivity, so bumping her channel there will bring her up in the mix, with perhaps some boost around 3 kHz. Cutting the guitar in those same frequencies will help as well.

Re: WH10 CD vs Peizo

You can do that. I didn't bother as the somewhat higher sensitivity and wider dispersion tends to be not an issue when used as a floor wedge.

They have response close enough that it wouldn't be an issue.

Re: SPEAKON Wiring

The 2+/2- are there to allow running a single 4 conductor cable to the subs from the amps, and then run cables from the subs to the mains, with the mains using 2+/2-.

Re: Industry Standards to Turn Everything On/Off

I didn't mention it before but there is another reason for not turning everything on at once. Every device has a high current surge at turn on, until the filter caps charge up. Individually it's not a concern, but with multiple devices it can be enough to pop the supply breaker. Since power amps hav...

Try reversing the polarity of the tweeters, that may fix the dip.

Re: WH10 CD vs Peizo

You can use it in both applications with either configuration. The difference is width of the dispersion angle.

Re: Industry Standards to Turn Everything On/Off

You'd need a power strip that will sequentially turn on/off the components, with the power amps last to go on, first to go off. If such a thing exists I'm not aware of it. Making sure everything is working is what sound checks are for.
