Before I made my final decision, I wanted to try the Casio pianos. The website did not have a ĺist of dealers, so I called Casio. They explained that the dealer list page had been taken down, as it needed constant updates during Covid. They also told me that when they sell their pianos to a company, Casio don't know what shops hold specific stock. It was suggested that I call round nearby music shops, and ask what Casio pianos they have in stock. I will therefore be buying the Roland FP-30X. I am reminded of the advert for Yellow Pages: "Hello. Do you have a copy of The Casio Piano, by J R Hartley? No? Okay, thank you..."

Agree with Stubs here. Excellent, except the dots on the side of the neck are hard to distinguish in dim light. -
May not be what you had in mind by ‘funky’, but as a ’90s indie kid (and adoptive Manc) I couldn’t not post this.

Get an observatory, you lot - this is the cab design thread! 😉

They seem to be a good budget choice. I have a set as a back up, and have used it a few times without issues. -
The devil on my shoulder is telling me to post something about how a good 12" speaker really helps bring out the difference the flamed maple cap is making to my core tone...

Myth. It would be true if voice coils reacted to electron waves within the realm of the speed of sound. They don't. They react within the realm of the speed of light. It's a good thing too, because the frequencies of the notes played are determined by how fast the cone moves. If larger cones moved more slowly you might play a C but it could be heard as a B. 😒

I'm praying for the day every MIM costs $1,000 plus. -
As only recent Spotify user I'm happy to be corrected if I've got the wrong end of the stick here but would it be more helpful to have a series of playlists rather than one ever-growing one? Just thinking in terms of generating more streams per band and was thinking that a ?monthly 12-song playlist might have greater traction - but happy to be educated by more savvy people. -
Wow that looks incredible!

I have a WO66 shortie which is really nice, quite easy to balance without hauling an EQ6 around. I also have a TMB 100m F8 APO. This needs an EQ6 at least and is a fabulous scope but is so large and heavy it never gets used as my two slipped discs immediately complain just looking at the scope. I know what you have done with the above, the really impressive bit (thought it's all impressive) is the cooling on the Canon (at least to me), that's really difficult to get just right. Everybody has gone Zwo, apart from me. Anyway back to the cab making. Rob

This was the exact reason (I recall) Mark King saying why he used 10s, back in the day.

I'm glad I did my time on the no-talc-on-the-dancefloor circuit because it was An Education, as they say, but I don't miss it. Wall to wall stonefaces waiting for the bingo during set one, and then a mass exodus after the meat raffle so you play set two to the bar staff and maybe any students home for the weekend. In fairness I'd have left too: we were shite. Bandleader had a clapped out van, a "everyone knows Sweet Home Alabama, we'll busk it!" approach towards the setlist, and not much else. Oh happy days!

Compared to free-space, which is outdoors and elevated by at least a wavelength, on the ground is half-space, closer than 1/4 wavelength to a wall is quarter-space, closer than 1/4 wavelength to a corner is eighth-space. Each space reduction adds 6dB. This mainly applies to the lows, where speaker output is 360 degrees. 1/4 wavelength at 120 Hz is about 70cm, so ideally that's the furthest out you want the cab baffle from the wall. True. Where either the cab or you relative to each other or a boundary results in a 1/2 wavelength differential between the original source and a reflection there's a cancellation notch. Said boundaries include the floor and ceiling, so often the worst listening position is on the stage, where you can be getting multiple low frequency cancellations from walls, floor and ceiling. Further back in the room where the distance relationships are much longer the lows can be considerably louder than on the stage. This phenomenon was responsible for the myth of wave propagation, the notion that one must be a given distance from the source for a sound wave to fully develop and thus be fully heard. It's easily disproved by listening to the same speaker outdoors, where there are no boundaries that can cause cancellations.

Opps, so I did! Memory like a sive, me... 🤦😆🤣 Still loving it, btw... 👍 -
I did go for the full size!!!

My last post just got me thinking. Does anyone know if i can add a fader in Mixing station to control the overall level of a monitor being controlled from a P-16, or better still, just mute it? i had to play music between sets at the last gig and on stage it was really loud, but out front hardly anything. He had left his monitor on and i just couldn’t tell if the FOH was even on. At the moment the music is streamed from my laptop, which is also my sound source, so he has to have this in his monitor while we are playing. If it were a separate device then obviously he could have that always muted.

I've scrolled quite a few pages. Is the Lekato wifi what a lot of people are using to power their IEMs? -
Very popular with Dr Spooner, or so I'm told.

My old drummer was a real Luddite, and in a way still is, but the tribute band he is in have just invested in an XR18 and a few bits just for IEM/stage monitors. They always use a house PA but have struggled with monitors. It took me a while to explain what can be achieved these days, and they (he) built a small IEM rack, based on the XR18 and a couple of splitters. For less than £500 they will never really have to worry about monitors again. Even the drummer in my band, who admits he is a dinosaur and refuses anything to do with IEM, has just brought a P-16 for his floor monitor. The downside to this is he had it really loud at the last gig and i had no control over it. I’ve banned anyone else getting one. We use 3 powered floor monitors and i shudder to think how loud they will be pushed.

Congrats, hopefully this will work well for you, I like the fret markers.

Here's another one, with Jimmy Smith playing one of my favourite basslines. It's a bit long ("if it's 3 minutes long, it ain't really jazz" etc.) but around 5 minutes in is particularly good.

What 1" compression tweeter and crossover unit should I put in my cab?
Dev R replied to Dev R's topic in Amps and Cabs
Hi @Bill Fitzmaurice Thank you for the link. This will help me a lot. -
Using more speakers outdoors is appropriate, as you're losing some 6dB or more of boundary reinforcement. That requires doubling the cab count to come out even, especially in the lows. The main issue with using dissimilar cabs is whether they'll integrate to help each other or whether they'll fight each other. You'll want to try it in a practice situation first.

Going to wait for the Nano price to settle. It'll eventually be in a little sale.
