Guest bassman7755 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) but alas they don't so ... anyone got any recommendations for small/light PA subs, active or passive ?. Things I've been looking at include the mackie dlm series and the HZ SB18 (which is the smallest/lightest 18 sub I can find).

mcgraham Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I thought they had some plans to produce some PA equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If you want Barefaced, why not the Baby Sub? That's as much a PA sub as it is a bass cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm sure a suitable tuned compact based design would do the job nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I missed the baby sub ... looks interesting although its giving away a hefty 7db sensitivity compared to the HZ SB18 albeit a lot more compact an lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterfire666 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 its worth giving alex an email at barefaced, i know they had some pa stuff in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm pretty sure Alex has Hifi on his mind if he has spare time, which he doesn't from the look of it... That man has a lot of work on for a small business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Have you thought of going down the DIY route? Bill's T39s are well worth a look and build. Martin quality at Behringer prices. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/T39.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Compact, Powerful and light - http://www.k-array.com/en/professional-sound/portable/kmt21.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Given the massive disparity in cost and size between the different options out there, it's pretty useful to know what you actually 'need' in terms of performance! What kind of venues is the sub for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yes, it's on the agenda! Think I've sussed out the right balance of LF extension vs LF sensitivity, just waiting on the driver prototype... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bassman7755 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Hi alex ... do I get a discount for being the Guinea pig . Am thinking of experimenting with my compact as a dedicated sub - or is that a really dumb thing to do - will putting a kick drum though it rip its guts out ?. I want something that is lighter than 20kg and no bigger than a compact ideally ... Edited November 26, 2012 by bassman7755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subrob Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Fohhn have a single 12 sub that weighs in at 19kg. And its active so no heavy amp rack. Theyre major money though. Edited November 26, 2012 by subrob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
