Much excitement![/quote] SOLD.....and I am very, very pleased that they are all going to a fellow BF forum member Didn't really like the idea of the 'family' getting split up.... the DR's are off to Dundee !! Dave

[quote name='gilmour' post='135002' date='Feb 6 2008, 01:55 PM']Dave, This kit is an absolute bargain, ...... will be a really good deal for whoever takes it off you. I've made a few sounds guys I know aware of the sale. Rob[/quote] Cheers Rob, the amount of time involved in building these things is amazing.....the output is also amazing. The key to success is good use of 31band eq adjusted to suit the cabs requirements. I have the corrective eq curves that I use, and a printout of these will be included in with the DR cabs that will allow any 31band graphic to be set up for them. Dave

[quote name='TPJ' post='134938' date='Feb 6 2008, 12:26 PM']hmmmm...I was getting ready to build a couple of O12 Tops and T38's. This would save me alot of time and effort, and your not far away. Welcome to BC by the way David Cheers[/quote] As Bill himself says, if you have the chops to build DR's do so...if not omni tops are the next best thing...can you really live with 'next best' Come on up and hear them / see them in the flesh if you wish.... The sale also includes the stand brackets to get the DR tops up in the air where they belong using a pair of standard 35mm speaker stands per side [url="http://billfitzmaurice.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4287"]The DR line array stand[/url] Dave

The DR280's are smaller than the typical 2x15 tops lots of bands go out with but far louder with the same power.... They are not that big as far as a full range pa top goes. Check out this photos which shows one of the DR280's sat next to a peavey 4x10 for reference I mainly work in places in Blackpool, clubs, large rock pubs, and a couple of venues with a U2 tribute band and a couple of standard rock covers bands. For most of the standard 150-250people pub gigs I just use two of the DR80's and the titans...its plenty. Dave

[u][b]Post 2 - Two Titan 48's[/b][/u] I want £275 for each Titan. Built to exact spec using highest quality Birch ply throughout and the 3015LF neo driver. They are fitted with 2NL4 sockets to allow daisy chaining of a second cab. They have been built to the standard 24" width, painted with the usual 4 coats of Aldcrofts textured paint and fitted with 100mm heavy duty castors Both of these Titans replaced 6 JBL 2226 baffle loaded subs and spanked them big time with a 1/2 the power...... Dave

I have decided to pretty much knock the PA hire side of things on the head for several reasons (family, work etc), so am selling off my big stuff to make room and funds for a small bar rig so I can get working as a bass player again..... In the last 2-3 years things have changed a lot with the venues [i]all [/i]going to late bar licenses. That now means the night has shifted on a couple of hours later, and when you have monkeys waking you up at 6.30-7.0 at the very latest at weekend it starts to loose its enjoyment... I am more than happy for the cabs to be sold separately or as a complete system So onto the important stuff:- [u] [b] Post 1 - DR280's[/b][/u] What I have decided to do is simply work out the total component cost and sell them at that. to be honest I have not included things like PL glue cost, bolts, screws foam, or my time. Each DR280 cab works out at[u][b] £235 per cab[/b][/u] All are identical other than 2 are loaded with the Deltalite 2512 driver, and two are loaded with the Delta Pro 400w ferrite magnet driver. All 4 are loaded with the maximum 12 1016 cpc piezo's in a straight array. As the Deltalite driver response is identical to the DeltaPro, all 4 cabs sound the same. They are fitted with custom made (by Penn fabrications) metal powder coated grills, Painted with 4 coats of Aldcrofts textured speaker paint, 100mm heavy duty wheels and dual NL4 speakon sockets. All cabs actually have been built with two pairs of wires running from the NL4 sockets in case I wanted to either revert back to DR290's or run the piezo's off a separate amp. I never found the need to do either Full DR280 review here:- [url="http://billfitzmaurice.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2718"]http://billfitzmaurice.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2718[/url] All 4 cabs are fitted with the latest filters and throat filler modifications and built to a high tolerance. Each cab has 'DR280' routered into both sides of each cab (looks very sweet). some photos:- This shot was prior to the routered name:- The flash shows up the piezo array, but normally this is invisible behind the foam backed grills Access hatch and countersunk black bolts All of my cabs are fitted with transit covers to keep the grills in perfect order which simply pull straight off... All 4 DR280's are fitted with angled skids on the btm so that the cabs can be stacked upright if stacked on subs (gasp) and prevents the cabs tilting back when stacked as a bass rig so your head bass does not fall off. Bass guitar sound bites:- DR280 (deltalite 12" driver and 12No 1016 piezo's) 8ohm [url="http://www.pjltd.plus.com/DR280%20bass.wav"]http://www.pjltd.plus.com/DR280%20bass.wav[/url] (full review of this bass test here:-[url="http://billfitzmaurice.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4653"]http://billfitzmaurice.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4653[/url] Two of the DR's have bolts located though the side as part of the stand arrangement, and these can either be left for the user or I will fill them in and re-paint them. I will let the fabricated stand brackets go as part of the sale, so all you would need is a pair of 35mm wind up stands to get them up in the air. I am more than happy for anybody to call round and hear them, in fact I would prefer that so that they can hear how good they sound....Shipping is not an option, but I could deliver within reasonable distance or meet half way.
