First outside gig with T39s and OT12s

#1 Post by Bruce Weldy »

Finally got 'em outside and cranked 'em up.....well not too much, I don't think we even got to -20 on the board yet the crowd of 300-400 seemed to like it. Lots of really good compliments. Most couldn't believe those little boxes made all that sound (they didn't realize the big boxes in front were the subs :D ).

All my musician friends that were there really liked the boxes and were impressed with the clarity of the tops and the power of the subs. Really strange on stage though with the subs on the ground - I couldn't even tell if the PA was working out front....but, obviously it was - the response after every song was great.

This is exactly what I was looking for when I started this journey with a 3 piece band. I knew that I had to be able to make the drums and bass be way out front in the mix or things would get really thin with my mediocre guitar playing. While there is still some tweaking to do with the EQ - I am extremely pleased with the BFM boxes and for the kind of gig we are playing, we had plenty of PA for outdoors.

Here's a pic of the set up before the gig. I'll post some more tomorrow.

wow, very nice.

And yes, that's also the first thing i noticed about horns. Which for me, it took a long time to get used to. Not unless you're hearing the tops, the subs seem to "disappear".

And glad it went well.
