tauzero Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 [url="http://www.royaldevice.com/customita3.htm"]A full range speaker system[/url] that doesn't quite approach Bill's normal levels of portability, but has a well extended bass, suitable even for Doodle.

warwickhunt Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Now how the fook do you happen to stumble across something like that? FFS it's in a foreign language... what were you searching for that would have contained the appropriate key words? Did you put 'dirty Italian horn +flaps' in the search engine or what!

Alien Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I remember posting this back on Bassworld. 110dB/W/m just doesn't bear thinking about, especially with over 6kW handling - it equates to nearly 150dB. Here's a link to the same thing in English: [url="http://www.royaldevice.com/custom.htm"]http://www.royaldevice.com/custom.htm[/url] Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this conditions, peak levels are much higher and undistorted than any live concert at all. Walls and ceiling seems to fall down, but fortunately don't. The sound pressure is concentrated at the listening point and stopped by a 2 meters high woolglass anechoic wall on the back of the listening position. We should remember that the total diaphragm surface of the woofers is 2.89 square meters (8.67 square feet) and with the drivers horn loaded (not direct radiating), distortion at 60 watts is practically negligible. If for instance the real maximum rated power (6400 watt) would be used the pressure level would reach 160 dB, but I wonder who could survive. Not even the house built in steel & concrete maybe would stand up.' Which of us, if we had the cash, wouldn't want to do that to our basement!

alexclaber Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 An interesting thing about that speaker system is that it relies almost entirely on acoustic crossovers. OK, well I found it interesting - I'll get my coat... Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowhand_mike Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 my god thats just ludicrous. i wonder what the builders were sayin? "what a fookin bell end" or something along those lines. i would like to see the results of tying someone to a chair and then setting it on full (and on a timer so you could get out) if the house could stand it would you just be left with a pile of mush? i want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 When I first saw stuff about this on the net I remember reading of people spontaneously applauding after watching live music DVDs on that system!
