Re: 2 DR280's vs 3 DR250's

Looking at the charts, sensitivity wise, three DR250's has a slight advantage. It's difficult to say which stack would produce audible distortion at a higher output level than the other. Looks promising, though. Sensitivity adjusted for cab count. DR250+9.54,DR280+6.02&dbmin=85 Note: These are b...

Re: Autotuba questions - drivers and box width

Wider increases sensitivity at the bottom end of the horn's frequency range. It does not change the "tuning frequency". I'd consider four eights if it pencils out. I originally planned on four eights, two in each 20" wide cab to fit between the wheel wells of my Jeep Cherokee. But, af...

Re: First BFM Build Odyssey: Tuba 60

I've used an inexpensive secondhand jobsite style table saw for my builds and the fence is not accurate or repeatable. So, I set up every cut by measuring from the fence to the blade tip on both the front and back side of the blade to the fence while making sure to measure from the blade tip nearest...

Re: Separating Overlapping Frequencies

First... how's her mic technique? Lips close to the mic or is she off 6 inches. Needs to be in on the mic. Second... I'd definitely try the what the guys mentioned above. That should solve the issue. If you're still battling with it and you're using a digital mixer, you can get into setting up a sid...

Re: Tuba 60 Accessories (speakon dish and location)

All the jacks get wired same to same... all the 1+ wired together, all the 1- wired together, all the 2+ wired together, all the 2- wired together

Thanks for the well wishes. It's not without it's challenges, but still on track.

Re: Tuba 60 Accessories (speakon dish and location)

I plan on creating hand holds for ease of transport My experience of handhold options is, the ones mentioned in the plans are more comfortable in the hand than handhold hardware. I purchased a Deep Angle Dual NL4 Dish (https://www.speakerhardware.com/proddetail/?prod=Deep+Dish+Dual+NL4). For the T6...

Intending to cross at around 100 hz, which would equal to a distance of around 18 meters. (56 feet) But yes, well aware of that aspect; bill told me in the beginning. No frontfill intended, toed in will be the way to go. Stage is in foh position, not in the front (as long as it is my decision) The ...

Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

...In this case DRs pretty high, better for ear damage but not sure if the front is covered enough then. Plenty of coverage up front with that elevation. You definitely don't want the speakers at or below head level. Give it a try. Put your DR up on something and give it a listen. Or just put it on...

Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

Very well spoken. Respect. I think we both locked ourselves to some metrics we consider to be the ones to focus on. We ended up in different metrics; but i like my metrics more as you do yours. Which is totally fine; no set of metrics is universally applyable. But i did put a lot of thoughts into th...

... below 30Hz. and the volume i need per cab is still just the half I completely honor your choice. But, I'll just add this last piece for you to consider. Looking at response graphs for subs in an attempt to figure out how many cabs are required, the only part I take into account is what the SPL ...

Just a light recommendation that I hope lands heavy... you've put a lot of time and effort into your research, more than most, and I am enjoying you whole process immensely.
