Hi Rich, the post you mentioned was way back in our early testing days before we had our full set of amps- and Grant (and your) assumption we were sending the same signal to the old W bins and the titans is incorrect. We were sending different passbands to the two styles of cabs using the inbuilt cr...

It's been a while since we started our own PA adventure with 'Communi-fi Sound' but I thought I'd give you an update on the latest with our system. Based on the solid foundation of 4 BFM Titan 48s loaded with Ande and 18 sound drivers we have now rounded out our Synergy horn top end with some mid/ki...

Yeah the Ande's seem to do the trick pretty damn well- I guess the only downside with them is that they weigh an absolute tonne compared to the nicer 18sound drivers we also got. With our cabs using hardwood ply for the external panels, and regular radiata for all the internals and bracing they do s...

So the saga of our build has come to an end. Last week we put in some big evenings and made great progress. We managed to finish off the painting for the final 2 titans on Saturday morning just in time to drag it all out to the Australian National University Art school Ball. Our System was the main ...

Hey BFM gang. We are now on facebook- https://www.facebook.com/communifi Feel free to like us and get updates about our progress, upcoming gigs/parties as well as looking at our testing video's etc. We still have another 2 T48s to go...so there is still a good while until we are completely done with...

This vid was recorded on my Canon DSLR and has much better audio reproduction. Wait for the zoom out to get a feel for the carry and clarity of this system.

Only got 2 more titans to build and we are set!

Not really a BFM specific post but spent the last few evenings making some boxes to seal in the drivers on the synergies. Going to rebate the frames so they can take some 5mm perspex so we can show of the unique design of the cab. Might even experiment with some LED strip lighting down the track to ...

The synergy horns are built using this spreadsheet made by Bill Waslo over on the DIY hifi forums.http://libinst.com/SynergyCalc/Synergy%20Calc%20V5.pdf We went with a Compression driver and 4x 4" mids set up. It is not a prescriptive build process as the BFM stuff- we had to figure some stuff ...

Had a big day today finishing off the 2nd synergy horn and getting the W bins ready to accept the new drivers. Got them all set up and after a few false starts (still figuring out the processor/limiter/crossovers atm) got them all working nicely together. Could not do the Auto EQ because we didn't h...

Bit of a hiatus from us here in chilly Canberra. Had a few mornings of -6/-7 degrees that have been painful to get through but we have been plugging away at it all on the nicer weekend weather. A few nights huddled under the warming glow of 1000 watts of halogen lamps has kept the progress moving mi...

Thanks for the kind words folks! I'm pretty happy with how they both turned out- no major issues in the whole build so far. They both sit nicely next to each other- square, same height, parallel lines etc- I'm sure my dad would be proud (if they were not boxes designed to play my infernal robot musi...

Got 2 completed the other day- just working on the V plate for the pair now!

Hey gang, So just a quick update. The cabs are coming along nicely, hopefully will start the painting process this weekend if the weather is nice to us. There is a gig coming up on the 3/8/2014 with bass master 'Teebs' from flying lotus's brainfeeder label (that LA bass vibe) that we might approach ...

Hey guys, Been too busy building cabs to start a thread but thought I should get one up and running (the missus has put a 9pm curfew on power tools for the sake of the neighbors so what else am I going to do with the long cold evenings?) We have been plugging away for the last few weeks now and have...
