  1. [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1491205572' post='3271115'] You don't give details of the size of the space or a budget. EBS freak is probably more up to date than I am but the obvious solution is to get further E435 Elements tops and as you suggest run them off the appropriate delay. If not then just go for one the smaller plastic boxes the RCF 308 suggests itself [url="http://www.rcf.it/en_US/products/pro-speaker-systems/art-7-series/art-708-a-mk-ii"]http://www.rcf.it/en...art-708-a-mk-ii[/url] [/quote] Getting more Elements is one way to go but the dispersion pattern is so tight that as soon as you move your head above or below the actual speaker you lose the detail of the sound. Obviously the bulk of the sound is still there, but the detail which make it a listening experience which does not require work if you have any sort of hearing issue is missing. When we put them in I never imagined they would be that tight. I know that this is how they work but I, naively, thought "it cannot be than focussed". The rake on the seating in the balcony is quite severe so really it is only 3 rows out of 10 who are getting the sound I hoped everyone would get and this would mean getting four more E435 tops + amps and that turns into a lot of expense. I was thinking RCF 308 but was canvassing a broader opinion. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1491210708' post='3271158'] I'm with Phil - good choices there. The uniformity of the HKs would be good from a visual aspect - but I'm not sure how their - what looks to be - proprietary mount works. With churches, there's a lot of consideration as just putting speakers in - how are you going to mount it? How are you going to get the cables there... powered, passive? [/quote] Active would be a whole lot easier than passive as there is one less thing to turn on. At the moment everything goes on with 2 plugs and this makes it easy for people who are "OK" at sound but do not actually grasp the whole picture to run the rig. It is not a building which is 900 years old and needing complete architectural subtlety so mounting them is not a huge issue. Thanks y'all!
  2. It would be super useful if I could search instead of trawl through them.
  3. Sorry to derail the thread slightly, but while we have PA bods attention can I ask another question? I run the PA at church (qumix 32 + HK audio Elements system). The Elements system suits what we need just fine for downstairs but the balcony is raked seating and the elements have a super tight dispersion. When you are sitting in the line of fire then it is all good, but if you are higher up the tiers then the detail gets lost. I am thinking of putting in some standard plastic boxes for upstairs with a broader hf dispersion. They do not need to be beefy because the HK subs will do the heavy lifting and I presume that I can do an HPF and a slight delay on seperate outs on the qumix (cos it does everything else). Can anyone suggest a suitable cab?
  4. I have one. It is great. Wheels through airport. Gig bag after that. No brainer.
  5. I had a Lakland JO5 which I traded with a guy in the States for DJ 5 (or vice versa, I honestly cannot remember). It was easy peasy. I got hit for tax on the way in, but I knew that was coming. If I could justify it I would be all over this like a bad rash https://www.talkbass.com/threads/musicman-bongo-5hh-marty-bell-western-blue-big-sparkle-flake-finish.1265232/#post-19831602
  6. [quote name='Laurence' timestamp='1490632862' post='3266647'] We all want a deep 5 in a trade! Unfortunately I'm not after a trade, unless it's a Rob Allen Deep 5 or a Wal Pro2e! [/quote]

    G&L Kiloton

    Interesting to actually hear the fabled 3 position switch in action. I quite fancy those pickups and G&L sell them as aftermarket. I wonder if they are EMG sized?
  8. Very civilised.
  9. Link to the obbm goodness. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/303154-obbms-rock-wire-iem-monitor-cables/"]http://basschat.co.u...monitor-cables/[/url]
  10. Status Streamline. Too many frets, I know, but I used to own one and it sits in such a way that everything is SUPER easy to reach.
  11. That is pretty lush!
  12. Suckage on the redundancy
  13. Just fabulous.
  14. I have just tried to buy some Luminlay stuff but cannot get through the paypal page. It keeps telling me that the exchange rate has changed and asking me to review the payment but will not let me through. Does anyone have any of the stuff with a black edging on it?
  15. Baby Sumo. Consider my interest piqued.
  16. I hassled him mercilessly to build me a pre CBS 5 string jazz. He only has jigs and templates for 4 strings If he has jigs for left handed ones you are in luck but I have not seen any left handed ones.
  17. [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1490313499' post='3264307'] Hopefully there will be some feedback from there. [/quote] So many opportunities for poor jokes here, but I am a grown up so will not.
  18. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1490303504' post='3264220'] You should be able to just keep connecting. I seem to recall it does 8 but only 2 iPads concurrently. At one point it was only 1 iPad and that was it - I think it was to urge people to go for the GLD. [/quote] I will have to update to the latest software then! Thanks
  19. Download the qmix app for nothing and mess with it. You will need a router to provide the signal. It is the qumix on your screen.
  20. Yes please. Pm me PP details.
  21. Not wanting to turn this into a QUmix fest, but is there any way of using more than on tablet (ipad, phone or whatever)? I cannot manage it. I used a Mackie DL for a couple of years and it will run up to 10 tablets. So useful
  22. Dunno how it is played, but I want it played in my funeral. It does not get any better.
  23. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/297983-1966-jazz-compatible-scratch-plate-and-potential-electronics-replacement/page__fromsearch__1 Post 12
  24. Thanks, I guessed as much. Everything I desire is expensive
  25. I would like a company which prints down arms and stuff. I would like a large print running down arms which was only legible when both arms are held straight out. Am I dreaming or is this do-able?
