| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Since the power amps are on either one side of a stage or another we use a 70ft length and a 30 ft length......Highs(70ft)=10/2 ofc.....Highs(30ft)=12/2 ofc......Mids(70ft)=12/4 heavy duty power cable(2 wires are paired together,this equates to a 8/2 cable) Mids(30ft)=10/2 heavy duty power cable.....Lows(70 ft)=10/4 heavy duty power cable(2 wires are paired together,this equates to a 6/2 cable) Lows(30ft)=12/4(as with the others,2 wires are paired together which equate to a 8/2 cable) |
| Room Size (LxWxH): | 16' x 20' x 10' |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | This is our studio/rehearsal space--Floor: 1' wall to wall carpet. Walls: 6x9 carpets hung around the room perimeter. Ceiling: standard 2'x2' accoustic tiles (drop ceiling) |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Our own music has been compared to sounding like fast jazz meets Black Sabbath or Rush meets Metallica however aside from our own music going through this system we on occasion listen to all sorts of Rock, Classical,funk, soundtracks...even the occasional country song(Donna Fargo) however rap or any other ghetto noise is not played. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Trying to achieve parity with exotic home systems(on a larger scale)...trying to get 'live' music to sound as clean yet powerful as possible. |
| System Strengths: | Due to system efficiency(speakers,amps,tri-amping)incredible dynamic range,power and clarity can be achieved |
| System Weaknesses: | System is large and yet made to be mobile, breakdown and set up is physically draining and usually takes several hours to set up, additionally all our speakers(except for the dual 18 cabs)are horn loaded which can present coverage issues. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Sound system design, Musician, telecommunications tech |
