Ports on side and feedback?
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 8:40 am
Hi,
Greetings from Birmingham, UK
Weighing up a build at the moment - for live band , play only small bars.We already have a sub (MTH30) that does what we need in the kick drum department running off Crown XLS1500 and currently run a 1 x 12 Fane 250LT with APT150 in small reflex top (actually repurposed old HK "Compact Classic"- Just blown up one side of a Thomanns 1400w amp we were using for these so new amp must be found I think! The 1 x 12 isn't having it, I guess with good tweeter (to lower - 1.6KHz and purpose built crossover it might be workable but maybe try something a bit different...?
use Sound craft Ui24 for eq, feedback suppression and mixer- great piece of kit. Can even use it for crossovers and time alignment with some fiddling.
We only have limited space so thinner cabs much preferred
I'm thinking maybe either SLA Pro or Omnitop8 (looks like it will go to 120Hz where we crossover to sub??)
With the small spaces we play with sometimes speakers only a couple of feet in front of vocalist - Has anyone had any issues with ports on side of Omni8 (or12 etc.) causing any issues with feedback please?
Or can I move the ports inside the horn at all- I think maybe some old designs of bill might have had port in horn but cannot recall... Old age...
SLA pro vs omni 8 - what would you go for and why...?
Cheers!
Al
