THT's and dubstep

[WiSounds]

I'm bringing up my Ashly ne8800m for the show, we'll have enough 96k DSP to sort out this mess

Someone asked earlier if they sound good with live groups, and not just compressed electronic music.

Just got back from helping with a festival, all live groups.

They had a JBL 3way setup there before, the LF drivers were toast halfway through the day. I decided to help the people throwing it out a little and haul my subs, amps and otops out

I had the setup going in 20mins. The stage was on time all day. Soon as everything was hooked up, I put on some mellow dub to do a check. Two THT's with covers on is impressive, even without boundary loading. Nothing but compliments.

The engineer(s) that were doing the mixing were impressed, to say the least. I think they liked it enough to book me form now on. I've also got them looking into SAC, as between them they own a studio and some nice D/a converters.


I wish all shows went this well. This was the largest show I've ever done, and it was the most fun!




-I hope this is readable, as I've been up for close to 20 hours and am tapping into some 1800 tequila.

Oh: and they had the cleanest, punchiest sound I've heard out of such a small rig.

tops were less then 10Vac, subs peaking at 22Vac (HP at 35Hz/24db LR)



sounded great, even 300 feet out.

Nice Pic and story. Good to see the rig worked so well. How do you compare your THT vs. Titans?

Never used the t39's outdoors, or with bands for that matter

Can hotlink it due to image size restraints.

Did have to roll a beer can out of one the subs at the end of the night.

If that's all you have to clean out of the subs at an outdoor festival - you're doing pretty good. I shudder to think of some of the questionable objects I've dumped out of my bass bins.

Gig report:


Did an all-dubstep show last night. Four THT's driven with a single PL4.0. Earlier in the night I HP them at 20Hz, little later in the night I brought it upto 32Hz and opened the limiters up a bit.

It was...Ridiculous



I had windows in car doors OUTSIDE rattling.

Best I've done is 8t48 4dr280 for dubstep show upstairs (250 capacity) in a student union and people were mentioning that in the main club venue 2floors down we were drowning out the nexo pa.

Not dubstep, but I did two shows this past weekend with the THTs:

Friday night was a nightmare, shoebox of a room; tried multiple setups of loading and came up with the best one. Brought four thts out, one has a brace issue so I only ran three. Detroit in Effect playing to metropolis was a sight to see, but the bass just was not there. Promoter was happy, as I gave him a good price and delivered - but I just was not happy with the sound.

Saturday: Booked a gig with Greg Mudge of Mudgies/Detroit. (Wi, thats the sandwich shop I took you two prior to the zombie show) Turns out to be a Low-Res record release. Used the same loadout as Friday, as the van was already loaded. Wood ceiling and a nice size room = sonic bliss. Nothing but complements. Hope to work with them more.

-Some drunken girl hit the Van during Load-out on sat. It's going to be fun explaining that to the boss, as it's the place that I work at's van. Thankfully, it's already beat up and I'm sure he wont care all to much - but it ruined my night (which went on without a hitch)


Moral of the story: the room is 1/2 the battle. Oh, and loadout at 2am sucks....
