Re: 6 Tuba 45s

I would LOVE to hear your six T45's and DR's man...that is awesome! It's unbelievable what those will do when they're fed the content. I get the rare chance this weekend to possibly use my four T30's at a large indoor venue for a wedding. Most of my indoor venues are smaller so just use the two narr...

Thoughts on Book

Sound System Design and Optimization by Bob McCarthy has been recommended to me by a friend who works in sound. Any of you all familiar with that?

Re: Single Best Piece of Advice EVER

Hey everybody, It's been a long time since I posted here. I'm still gigging of course, but I've gotten much more into production, recording, mixing, etc in the past few years. Just today I've moved my mixing desk to a supposedly horrible room. 22 x 9 x 8 rectangle room of concrete floor, sheetrock a...

Single Best Piece of Advice EVER

Corner loading subs and avoiding the no go zone. I'm just shocked every time...can't believe how uniform and level the bass is through the whole room.

I've got one of those NU4-6000's and I've been very happy with it. I've used it with my OT12's and four Tuba 30's.

Just gorgeous, gorgeous. I'm not up to building these but have a case of gear lust. Would love to hear these things in action.

But don't go by 'A' weighting alone. Make sure that you use 'C' weighting as well, and that it doesn't read more than 15dB more than what the 'A' does.
Incredibly helpful and useful stuff here.

How Loud?

How loud are most concerts and clubs? At my wedding events I keep the dance floor at about 88-90 dB A for the dancing. That seems to be loud enough...people dance and very rarely ask me to turn it up. Just curious because I've heard of some levels a lot higher than that. I try to be careful for ever...

Re: Speakons; Just use the screws or solder them?

I've had two failures in two weeks now with my speakon jacks. Do you guys just use the screws with them or take the screws out and solder the wires in? (12 gauge wire) I screw 'em in with no solder. The only time I've ever had one come apart was when someone was "helping" me tear down aft...
