  1. If I needed to change the phase of a powered subwoofer and my reciever couldn't do it and my subwoofer couldn't is there another way?

    Like a module that can plugged in between the subwoofer out on the reciever and the line in on the subwoofer that would add a rotary phase dial?

  2. For me I like Allen and Heath as far as bang for your buck goes, but midas, soundcraft, or digital yamaha consoles for me! Crown for amps, QSC sometimes too. AKG mics, EAW PA and JBL, but not new JBL stuff, only stuff from the 70's thats been taken well care of. EV I only like for their X Array line array. I find their stuff to be loud but lacking in smoothness unlike EAW.

    As far as my shop, the other audio guy who works there I used to rent from!

  3. 30 W-Bins?!? My oh my...indeed we should talk! Do you own all of that for yourself? The Klipsch pro gear is actually how I became a Klipsch fan and got mixed up in this forum. It's so sad they're not in the pro world anymore as I always felt they made the best horns. EAW is my second fave (or rather my current fave since they're still in production). I'm rather young and haven't mixed for crowds over 1,000 (yet), but I know my way around a board.

    Will you be at the pilgrimage? I don't know Canada too well but it looks like you might be close to Michael Hurd and I bet y'all could carpool down. How nice of me to offer you his ride [;)]

    I do not own everything at our "shop" me and another sound guy share the gear. I say "shop" because its just a big storage locker/warehouse filled with gear... I should take a pic of my wall of W powwer!! But there are 3 PA systems and 2 techs... so i do tend to call them mine from time to time... I love EAW and older JBL speakers but i've never tried the Klipsch stuff.

    I won't be at the pilgrimage, id love to go but sadly I have no car and it's too far to walk. It's cool that you are young and doing audio.... Im only 20 so considering the scale of events I do and the equipment I use I consider myself pretty lucky!

    What are your preferences as far as your FOH gear?

    Oh, and are there any other pro audio dudes on here?

  4. It's an EAW 650 Rig, the LMD driver is a 15", and the subs are dual 18"

    For processing... the official EAW 650 Processor tuned from the factory ;)

    Theres 2 other rigs for me to play with,

    First, a stack on each side with 3 cabinets with 2 JBL 12" and a 2" horn, and 3 subs with 18" JBL drivers powered by an older QSC touring stack with a DBX Driverack processor

    And also the horn loaded rig from like the 70's...

    a stack on each side with 3 cabinets with 2"Horn, 2 12" mids horn loaded... and as many as (i think theres close to 30) JBL horn loaded in a W" config with 2 15 inch drivers and BSS processing for the whole rig with QSC amps... this rig can fill a football field, no problem. The EAW rig is for rooms and a clean sound, the JBL's are for rock, arenas, and stadium.

    Have you done some pro audio Dr.Who? We should talk :)

  5. Great amps by QSC and crown, though I tend to like the sound of crown amps better, we have a rack of 4 crown macrotech touring amps in our rack powering our 3 way EAW tops and bi-amped EAW subs.... Overkill for 300 people?

    But i stay away from amp with switching power supplies for my FOH rig, to high a failure rate.

  6. An idiot family member decided to knock over one of my speakers and not tell me, needless to say, the HF driver broke loose and took out part of the transformer on the crossover on the way down

    my question is this: on the transformer is the coil plain copper wire, or is it copper wire with really thin insulation on it, because the wire is nicked pretty good, and is the function of the plastic part at the bottom of it just there to hold the wires together in a coil?

    The sooner someone helps me out, the better... i'm literally sitting here soldering iron in hand [Y]

    Thanks!

  7. So, what do you think?

    A Fs of 14.6Hz?

    Considering a 13 inch JL Audio W7 has a Fs of 23.5Hz I think that 2 of these puppies in a decent box could shame a gotham in sub bass levels.... Looks almost too good to be true.

    Anyways has anyone heard the Alliance in person?
