Lol, no not quite as bad according to a brother. Monsoon in Florida on a smaller scale yet, we have our own challenges, of course. The roof sounds like as much importance as the stage for the event. It just as a matter of due course have to be better each year there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we decide to use the LaScala towers we will be testing them first too ofcourse. Not everyone in our organisation is convinced, so I'll probably have too blow them away first to show the true power of Klipsch! Droogue; 1st, Where is your event going to take place? 2nd, Remember that 121 max spl is only a single La Scala. That is 124 max spl for a pair, and 127 max spl for four La Scalas, so six should fill your requirements with a max output of 128.5 dB. 3rd, I'm with Billybob here, why not just break out the KP-600s and "Piss off the neighbors"? A single KP-600 stack has a max spl of 137.5 dB, So that is 140.5 dB output for a pair which is good enough to rock a group of 5,000 people Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not about what system would fit my requirements, but rather if my personal system can manage it Have been looking into some other option which are DIY friendly and which uses some of my drivers/bass bins (to make it financialy possible for our organisation). A K600 would be amazing ofcourse. And LaScala is rated a 121 for one, but when I calculate it should reach 126 @100 watt .. But it doesnt really matter. I calculated it for the drivers seperately (based on advice from a local sound expert), taking into account the sensitivity from our ears for certain frequencies. This gave me decent coverage over 40 meter (also taking into account the possible hearing damage due to too high SPL). 2 hours ago, twistedcrankcammer said: 3rd, I'm with Billybob here, why not just break out the KP-600s and "Piss off the neighbors"?

I always think my English would be sufficient info (grammar in particular) to know I'm not from the states. But yeah it sucks.. Klipsch prices are through the roof over here (I also profited from this, but hard to find second hand items for the prices I see passing by in US Klipsch facebook groups etc), and it's incredibly hard to find Pro Gear (I'm on a quest to find K-402 horns, but I think it's almost at and end, HOOZAAH!). Prices to ship gear from Crites or the likes are also crazy (shipping is "cheap" for drivers etc, around 70 dollars for a pair, but 21% import is the real pain in the butt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll do a 4xK55 into the K-402 setup (will definitely try this out once I have all the stuff). Hope I can pull it all of before the festival (still enough time, and if not this years, definitely next one!)

Curiosity would better me. Have been reading the potential on thread. Would be nice to harness the 4xK55. Sounds like it would be interesting. Good morning.

Well, I already have 4x K55M, and if I buy the K402 I just need an adapter (which I have found for around 20euros) so not so expensive to just try it out !

ELSI Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Okay now read 1st page and scanned this, page 5. KP600's are a collectable 100% I have heard klipsch tune them and some fierce sound engineers. They are not an elegant nor loud applause from appeal music producer. Period. The tscm I believe it is takes the cake easy up to the 600's. The mwm the k402 is something to get to the top of sound repro-duction. That mentioned stacks of lascalas No Doubt when done right. The 600's cannot even be compared to stacks of lascalas. Anyone who would is in need of an update 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droogne Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 I havent updated this thread for a while now, but there has actually been a lot of developments! Recently build the 10 bassbins, and I'm rocking 5 of them in my living room at the moment. All use a Faital HF200 driver, 2x of them on a K510 horn and the other ones use a PH4525 horn. Working out how I will progress with this project, but 1: painting and adding protective corners etc and 2: making cases for the horns are planned. We are gonna use the LaScalas for our small stage, which will still host around 1000 people. Will keep you all updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
