Had a gig in a cocktail bar that liked to get rowdy with a DJ later. My PA cab and amp went on top of their massive overkill 2x18 sub and my little sub went on the other side in the other corner. No wukin' furries. Point being subs like being up against walls and particularly in corners. Then they run really low power as the boundary reinforcement gets free dB. Just put your subs to one side or the other and be far enough from the rear wall that you don't have a gnarly 1/4 wavelength cancellation. At 14ft out you get another reinforcement at 80hz which is the breadbasket of your kickdrum. One side of the room will be more bassy than than the other but not enough that anyone consciously notices.

Looks like a subwoofer.

Vocal Microphones, what are you using?
Downunderwonder replied to Phil Starr's topic in PA set up and use
Akg P2 is a bargain for anything not needing high end. Bass cab, kick drum no problem. As much as I dislike B'ringer the XM8500 is a very acceptable substitute for SM58 that is cheap as chips. -
For real??? They had one and it didn't sell enough to warrant continuation.

The EQ Balance control is a thing of beauty when you are doing covers that include reggae. One little twist gives you a fat dubby tone that still sounds like a bass, and goes straight back to where you had it for the next tune.

Inaction in the face of consensus.

All I see is a couple of mods railing against what everyone is telling them for no good reason.

Bad power???

Would be scanning through pages and pages of uninteresting new yap to find interesting yap. Absolutely. Now why can't we have the PA forum in Gear?

I'd have the 250w one myself just because I know no gig where those 250w wouldn't be enough. Neither is going to get you the sounds of the valve one. Prices seem high compared with UK where old Trace stuff is hard to give away. Must be something they are putting in the water that makes young folk unable to lift 14kg of amp these days.

Lights also flash when the input is interrupted so the pedal is 'thinking' it is unplugged.

Most dirt pedals invert the phase on the return. This puts your blend into cancellation at the crossover frequency and the remaining lows, as the LS2 has no phase switch.

In and out sounds like a dud patch cable. You'll tear your hair out trying to find which one, or you'll find it with the 1st wiggle. If you can't find it then it's a dud pedal on the blink. Good luck with that.

The OP made the one post and left. Never returned. The last person to do this was one SanFrancisco so I coined the situation of the members posting uselessly to an ingrate "SansFransicoed". We have again been SansFransicoed.

Experienced people who have never had the well informed advice not to do 1 IEM. One plug is not so bad but really you shouldn't be doing that either if it's loud.
-
Don't. Your brain doesn't actually hear properly in stereo so you need twice as much volume in the in ear to make it sound the same as it would with both at half.

Several misleading posts made so far. A FRFR cabinet means it reproduces the signal it is sent faithfully within the expected passband. The preamp and amp may do same with the signal from the bass or add wonderful tone. Most solid state amps are very faithful at the amplification to speaker level stage. The aim is that the player's monitor sounds like what he expects to hear out in the room. The identical signal is sent to FOH with the expectation they will treat the room EQ before messing about with the bass feed to make it fit. So many people get it backasswards.

Rolls make one that isn't square but it is TINY, like you would mistake it for a box for spare fuses.

It's been awhile now but when I first came over it was a stupid battle to find the buttons to get what I wanted, forums, rather than the latest post of the latest blab on every damn thing.
