Mega Clear out Part 5: Two Shermann 15" +6.5" + Tweeter FRFR PA Speakers £350 Daventry

[Count Bassy]

First the bad news: 

 

     These are traditonal technology speakers - No light weight speakers or cabinets. Hence these weigh in at 46Kg each, which is why I am moving them on, just too heavy for me to lug around anymore.

 

     Also the foam fronts are completely shot and need replacing if you want foam fronts.

 

 

Apart from that if it is all positive.

 

These are Shermann speakers, serious professional bits of kit - see the reviews. I know that almost everything claims to be professional these days, but these really are.

 

 

These speakers are 770mm high 480mm wide at the font and 250mm wide at the back. and weigh 46Kg  each!. They are probably about 30 years old, so traditional technology & desgin, hence the weight.

Not the sort of weight I want to be lugging about anymore, hence moving them on.

 

Can't see it on the photgraph, but I believe that the 15" bass units are Beymer, the tweeters are definitely and the 6.5" mirange are both Audix.

Shermann informed me that they are 8 ohm, and are good for at least 400W each (See attached notes from Shermann).

 

Despite being 30 years old these still sound as good as ever, as far as I can tell. They were oginally installed at the Theatr Hafren, Newtown, Powys, and we bought them from Shermann when they we theatre was being upgraded. - and had top hats fitted at the same time.

 

I have used them in folk dance bands (including a sousaphone) and rock bands for front of house - easily enough to fill a typical pub or village hall, and even used them outside in a pub garden and for PA and background music on a village playing field. They have also been used as side-fill foldback on a pretty large stage.

 

The weight is a downside, for portable use, but they would be ideal for someone considerably younger/stronger than me, or for use in a permantent installation. Unlikely to need subs with these unless you are a dub nut or something.

One of my tests for a PA system is the human voice, and these are brilliant for that,i.e.  apart from the volume you wouldn't know that they are there!

 

I attach various photos.

 

As I say I'm looking for £350 for the pair. As you will have guessed, pickup only, but that gives you the chance to try them out!

 

Due to its weight: COLLECTION ONLY, but that gives you the chance to try it out.
