Doh. Is that mainly an issue with the XTi series? Strangely enough, I get a light hiss when I hook up the OT12s, but it's not nearly as prevalent as the SLA. I would have guessed the OT12s would make that sound louder.Bill Fitzmaurice wrote:Tweeters don't hiss. Amps hiss.
Crap, you're right. Don't worry, I'll paint them after I caulk them.SeisTres wrote:All I can say is....
you forgot to paint the big black round things
Nice work!Thanks, I wasn't 100% sure I made the right decision until that 5th coat of DuratexRadian wrote:What else did you have upstream of the amp? anything?
Cabs looks frigg'n hot BTY.
Then I thought, Bill hasn't steered me wrong. And I want that extra work from the planners/coordinators, so these damn things are going to be white!My XTi4000's (both of them) make my DR200's and O10.5 hiss, but the Behringer, Yamaha and Peavey amps don't.bzb wrote:Doh.

Chances are the DSP is the source of the noise. But possibly no worse than the noise that results from an external DSP. Still it would be prudent to make sure the DSP gain structure is properly configured.Chris_Allen wrote:My XTi4000's (both of them) make my DR200's and O10.5 hiss, but the Behringer, Yamaha and Peavey amps don't.bzb wrote:Doh.

It's in the plan. The plan shows how to cut and glue the tweeters. To paint them, use a can of plastic paint.johns811 wrote:Couple questions. Did you have to cut individual tweeters to get them to look like that. They look like 1 unit. Was it difficult to do that.
As above, it's in the plans. It's not difficult, they're just plastic. The ABS cement that Leland has in black works perfectly. They're attached by caulk and clamps.johns811 wrote:Couple questions. Did you have to cut individual tweeters to get them to look like that. They look like 1 unit. Was it difficult to do that. How do the middle tweets stay in the box with just the screws on top and bottom.
To paint the tweeters, does anything need masked to not ruin them.
Lastly is there a less expensive woofer choice like Dayton, or Goldwood that would perform decent.
Any info appreciated.
Even better for ya, I kept an Excel chart this time.David Carter wrote:Very nice!

I had to make a best guess as to the retail value of these, because there's absolutely no commercial equivalent. I settled on $599 based on what is out there, and they're primarily one-way systems loaded with three or four inch drivers that don't come close to what the SLA Pro offers.bzb wrote:

I'd drill holes through the array frame for a few more screws.If you go back a few posts, there's a picture of the clamps on the piezos. I actually was able to get those blue Irwin clamps almost centered on them, and that provided enough pressure to get a good seal when the caulk dried.
I'm going to compare them to the EV ZX1-90s as best I can on video. They absolutely kill them in terms on sensitivity (of course) and the single SLA is easily is louder than the two ZX1s. Considering the ZX1-90s are $299 at the cheapest, the SLA Pro is an incredible value.Bill Fitzmaurice wrote:I had to make a best guess as to the retail value of these, because there's absolutely no commercial equivalent.
