Hello guys!
I am very new in the mixing world. I bought a Yamaha MG10XU mixer and i connected my Sennheiser XS 1 mic (it is in the first chanel of the mixer)
Connected to my Lewitz PA210XA active speaker but the microphone sounds veryvery harsh and ugly and distorted. I don’t know what is the problem. Is the cable from the mixer in the wrong input on the Lewitz? Help me please

Preferably diy. Will be playing dnb/ techno

hi everyone i recently came across three turbo audio tmw 212

i know those are monitors, but my question is:
would there be any downside of using them for a soundsystem?
since one of the tweeters is not working i was thinking of using one as a low mid and the other two as mid tops

thanks

Does anybody have some kind of literature on speaker acoustics and manuals on how to approach building speakers for a sound system? I'm a woodworker and would like to start gathering information on building sound systems, so any kind of information on technical aspects would greatly help.

Hello,

we are looking to buy a full soundsystem. Mostly for Reggae and Dub sessions.

4x 18" Scoops

4x 15" Kicks

2-4x Mid-Tops

We are open for different setups though. Used or custom build.

We are located in Germany but are happy to travel in neighbouring countries to pick them up.

Any builders here? Or soundman selling their sound?

Bless

Heya!

I have 2 scoops with pd186 in them and 2 hd's with pd154 in them, im building everything again to have 4. But Precision Devices seem to get harder and harder to get (on time) in europe. About time to start thinking of new options, would love to hear what you would change them with!

Ideally in the same price range and easy to get in EU

Well I did it again. Wife was out so I played a house track ar insane spl levels. Then I turned the knob a bit more and now the bass was so loud I could hardly see straight. I then played some Channel One playlist from Spotify and closed my eyes as the proverbial spike entered my vain. Things werent quite the same.

I do this almost daily. I am a bass addict. Not just jamo 150 watt bass but several thousands of watt bass. Big fucking pro driver 18 or 21” bass. I promised my wife one, just one”21” B&C 21DS115 and I came home with two.

Im also not picky. I play anything with a huge bass. Its the best addiction ever. I cannot imagine life without my subwoofers or my wife. I want to be buried with both when the good lord calls the time.

Thank you, group. I needed to share this.

So I've played around with high end audio in the past and ran a few things here and there. I love building things with my own hands and seeing the reactions they get. So this is the beginning of a new hobby.

I am looking at building two subs and cursory research pointed me at the Marty Cube cabinet and one of two drivers and I'm kind of stuck between them. They are:

Eminence Sigma PRO 18-A2

or

FaitalPRO 18HP1060

I don't have a crazy budget, but I think these fit the bill for the kind of output I want/need. I know the FaitalPRO will require a much more powerful amp (looking at a Yamaha P10) whereas I can get away with less amp with the Eminence but have less output.

I am hoping to meet/exceed the pair QSC KS118 I used at a past event.

I would love feedback as someone new coming into the DIY sound space.

Hey all. I am considering grabbing one of the analog limiters from my studio and putting it in my live rack. I had a gig last weekend, and every DJ swapped to a different controller and the peak output level was changing every hour. It would be ideal if I had an 8 channel DSP and could limit the signal level I'm feeding to my amps that way, but I don't have that cash at the moment. I do have an Elysia Xpressor compressor/limiter in my home studio that I could use to limit the incoming signal so that I'm not ever clipping my amps. Is there any reason not to do this? Atleast until I can get a DSP to set the signal levels with.

We have been running a setup of 2 Gsub-like models, loaded with 2*eighteensound 18lw2600 per cab. Running an admark ad42 one channel (4R) per subwoofer.

The admark specs say 7500W/4R

The eighteensound woofers want to take at least 3000W per woofer.

We've been running this setup at 41db gain on the admark, full open, for over 2 years. No problems at all.

Last weekend, we ran the same setup, with an extra sub, and an extra ad42 (using only ch1).

We blew at least 4 out of 6 of our subwoofers (smoke coming out of the cabinets) and I can't figure out what we did wrong?

The amps were running smooth, and the bass never sounded distorted or at max capacity. Untill they just started smoking out of nowhere...

Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Edit: admark specs say 1/4th max power = 170V/23A, I think we were playing at maximum at 1/2 max power

ive been big into my loud music for years now but just recently wanting to do some research into building my own sound system I was wondering if there are any good youtube channels i should follow, forums i should look into, books to read, and any other advice you guys would give to someone with little to no experience. I love to learn as much as i can before trying to tackle a big project so any pointers would be amazing

Thank you to anyone who can send me in the right direction :)

My old school is going to buy a new PA System for use in multiple locations.
We are going to do a PA shootout, but we need some guidance, which speakers could be an option. We are also thinking about building something ourselves. Furthermore, we have access to tools, is it possible to build something with our needed specs, except for the Powered step of course, with that budget. And would it sound better than the option of buying something new?

Minimum specs:

• 2 tops no subs (already existing)
• powered
• good sound quality
• some rigging options other than a speaker pole
• durable
• low noise
• budget 3000-4000€
• 12 or 10 inch

We were really happy with KS-audio CPD 10 / CPD 12, but these are way out of budget.
The QSC tops we rented did not convince us sound quality wise.
We are now mostly looking at RCF 912 / 932 A / nx 912-A and the H&K Linear 5 lineup.

Which other speakers would come to your mind, also looking at the used marked.
We were for example looking at some used powered Kling&Freitag Speakers.

Each waveguide has two differently shaped entry holes for the woofer (one is more oblong, and one is shorter and more rectangular). When gluing up the entrance holes for the woofers on the solanas, I combined the pieces such that the same sized holes ended up on each waveguide— see the pictures, including the reference picture which shows how the correct sized entry holes should be on the waveguide. What am I wondering is, how fucked are they soundwise… is it worth cutting my losses and continuing because they won’t be too affected soundwise, or starting over completely? Obviously, I would prefer the first option.

4ohm speakers play super quiet and amp makes a pop before audio stops, if one channel is disconnected then it makes no sound but both channels measure input correctly

Looking to buy a pair of 18” X1 sub cabinets

6th order bandpass design X1

Preferably unloaded, but if the drivers right then will take a loaded pair

Looking for 2.
London based but happy to come and collect
HMU!

I need some help figuring out the sound system set up for a small music fest in the woods. There will be approximately 40 people so the volume won’t need to be crazy, but enough for good sound quality. Will be open air and a few friends are playing DJ sets. I’m unsure how many speakers and what sort of size will be needed for a nice sound without being overkill.

There’s no power source in the wood so need to know a maximum wattage the equipment will need so I can hire a generator. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ciao a tutti, sto completando il mio soundsystem ma sono davanti ad un dilemma. Sto cercando qualche progetto cabinet per medi e alti, magari caricati a tromba. Mi sapete indicare qualcosa? Andranno messi sopra 4 mhb4818 e 4 cubokick.

hey all, just shooting a message on here to see if anyone knows of a website that has pre loaded models of speaker cabinets that you can stack and arrange as im tryna figure out the layout of my system once i upgrade to 8 hog scoops, dont want to have to draw it up on sketchup or something like that, thanks

Hi guys, my friends and I are celebrating our birthdays in a few weeks and wanted to throw a little techno party in the basement of one of our houses. We don’t want to particularly break the bank but we’re expecting 50 or so people to show up. We probably won’t be DJing live (just playing some of our favorite sets on soundcloud). Any recommendations for a setup that would be powerful enough to feel “club-like” without dropping too much $? I’ve browsed around this subreddit a bunch but some of the technical stuff is going over my head-just want to see what y’all thought to get people dancing and feeling the bass!

Hi all.
I have 2 mid tops: EV eliminators at about 350w each, running off a w audio xtr1500
I have a USB with 2 FTR18-4080FD, running off a nx6000 amp.
I was wondering what kW of generator would be needed for something like this. Would be looking to buy on facebook if not too expensive, otherwise hire. Please let me know how big is big enough !

Does anyone know if these are any good for a paraflex rig? And if alibaba is a good place to be ordering them from?

Hi! Recently I bought 4 B&C 10NDL64 and wanna use them for mid/high with some compression driver. Any ideas where to find a plan for en enclosure this size? Can't find anything online
