Fantastic work. 

The recorded sound is distracting from the performance for me. It feels like i'm listening from outside of the room with how much top end is rolled off.

Humble apologies.

That is how it felt for me. The more you use it the more you will want to use it and other cabs sound odd. 
 

Of course you could use the cab as a PA speaker. It is flatter than almost any commercial  PA Cabinet.

I'm intrigued to find out. 

If anyone is local to Bradford id be keen to use Meyer Sound's SIM to measure one of these cabs to see what's what when they're built  

After lots of deliberating, i think i'm settled

Thanks, John. I tried another lead...same problem. My luthier cleaned the contacts, and still no joy.I will look at replacing the socket as you suggest.

Take it to another "luthier".

Well, nothing has changed in the last 3 years i don't think. 

But this was the first purchase of 2019 and i couldn't have been happier with it. Cost a pittance as i believe it was advertised well under its value. Musician Serling 34, Bartolini pickup. Official gig bag including original pickup, truss tools & paper work for the professional defret. 

Less than a week ago came an Epifani UL310 with an EBS HD350 awaiting collection. 

For me, this year has been a complete best scenario.

Afraid I can't comment on the Wharfedale cab; hopefully someone else has some experience with them.

All i know about them is that they may or may not have been last produced some 10 years ago and they may or may not have found some stock in a damp warehouse and may or may not been sold to PMT for a pittance to flog on. 

However, for the money, they make some incredible cabs for the money. We have a cabinet in our service department at work that was a pre production unit that i have tried and failed on numerous occasions to buy from our service engineer. That thing is stupendously good.

If this were a cardioid design, which is extremely unlikely from its appearance, you'd think that Bergantino would at least mention it in their publicity material. As it is, they don't provide any explanation at all for the rear facing driver. I'd say that @owen has the right idea. They do claim that the cab has a 3D sound. ‘Holo-Graphic’ to be more precise.

Anyone expecting anything technically interesting about this box can probably move on. This is a product of the marketing department IMO.

It's interesting to see that they are now using a compression driver and constant directivity horn instead of the bullet tweeters in their other cabs.

There will be cancellations behind this cab though whether they want them or not.

There is  A reason speakers always face forwards.,
 

Until you set up subs in a cardioid set up to try and ‘control’ low end frequencies that are inherently omnidirectional.

I believe this is what this Berg design in trying to do. 

That rear facing speaker is going to create cancellations making the volume behind the cabinet quieter and in turn in front louder.

At the next big you go to, take a look at the sub arrays and see how there are units facing backwards!

Honestly, chock block got binned many moons ago when i discovered this stuff. 

Absolutely perfect for testing purposes like yours. 

Equally good for splitting your live & earth's on the motorbike for aux appliances off of one relay.

You can close the thread now!  

Really? Personally i'd find 8ms of latency really really annoying. 

Below is a screen grab from the 2016 price list. 

Then we have the 2017 price list. 

The whole 7 series jumped from whatever "MK" they were on to MK4. 

In 2016 the 3 series were all on MK3 then jumped to MK4 in 2017.

The 2018/19 both series are all on MK4. 

Hope that can give some clarification.

I'm unsure as the why you're receipt would say MK2 EBS_FREAK

Completely understand ☺️

I sell this stuff for a living and from personal experience, having a customer with a budget in mind makes things far easier to find the best solution for them.

Whats the budget?

This.

this is the most important answer to your question.

Naming manufacturers as recommendations is pointless. 

People say “Yamaha” but is that a £150 MG series or a £10000 CL series.

Small world. That’s my uncle Paul on keys 👋

Not mine per-say but i racked & wired it!

I use the Gator bags, they're very good. Just buy one with an extra unit and stick a vented blank panel above your amp.

I'm not entirely sure about this. Generally the air flow technology is designed to permit multiple amplifier racking without spaces between.

Normally, amps draw fresh air in the front and exhaust hot air out the sides or the rear. If vented panels are fitted between the amplifiers, then pre-heated air inside the rack will re-cycle through the front.
If you feel more comfortable with spaces between amps then use solid panels - not vented ones.
If you are running into an overheating problem then vent the hot air OUT of the rack at the rear.

I know a few composers with these type of scores. They all use Adobe Illustrator for them if that helps.

So this has been doing the rounds on FB so i thought some of you guys may appreciate it.
