Which part of "Very" would you be struggling with, Tony? :D :D
Also, how's your back, and how big is your Van/Car/Trailer/Rickshaw/Other Transport Device? :confused:

BTW. technically, this should be in Technical help, in the Sound Forum. ;)

And while I'm on my high horse about reading posts, please read the last line of post #3, and check his post count. ;) ;)
Thank you.
I wonder why I bother.

[Tom]

The thread was called "wanted speakers" so I thought the op was looking to buy a pair of speakers.

I think it's ok to buy stuff in the this section of the forum but not sell as anyone can sell stuff, which would clog up the forum. How to the admin and mods think of that??? I had a read through the rules in the section and its about selling from what I can see, but having said that, I am blind as a bat sometimes. lol.

I was aware you had to be a member of 3 months and also have a minimum of 100 posts.

If that is the case, then I will deleate my post. :)

[Sapphire Disco]

I've still got these if you are interested.

Or I found these.

OK, Humble pie time. :o :o :o On reading the rules again, I believe it's permissible to buy, but not sell before the magic 100 post figure. Sorry about that, as you were. :D

need to sell mine as well i just need something with better bass basically a nice sounding budget speaker really.

[A1DL]

a nice sounding budget speaker really.

Mark - budget will always compromise quality. However,
there are reasonable sounding budget speakers out there (JBL JRX series springs to mind). Whilst I wouldn't personally say they are "nice" sounding (to my fussy old ears), equally I wouldn't say they sound unpleasant.

Choosing speakers is like choosing food, wine & women - it's a very individual & personal thing. Having said that, at the extremeties of the spectrum, most people would probably agree a Maplin box sounds pretty dire and I've yet to meet anyone whom hates Meyer. Get my drift?

what is your problem with peavey??

[A1DL]

what s your problem with peavey??


My ears react badly to them, causing uncontrollable vomiting ;)

I intended to seek medical assistance, however upon googling the cause and symptoms, I discovered mine to be a fairly common condition amongst people whom work with sound. It is quite well documented on BR, PSW, et al. :)

[Cj_The_Dj]

well anyways I love them (are you sure you heard the black widow not the el cheepo euro/pro versions), and i see well known events companies use black widow around my end.

here is one off the top of my head http://www.foxprom.co.uk/ he dose all the outdoor events near us really well established.

that just me though.

have you heard these yet?

There isn't a list of the equipment used.
They are far from professional if you ask me, Cheap budget cabs that are being used, Some of the pictures in the gallery are not using decent power distrobution on the lighting stands just 4 way extensions simply "Dangling".

He always refers to his staff as "Tech Monkeys".

I would advise take a look at JamesH's website or Tony (A1DL). They are well established hire companys running on a full time basis.

That isnt his staff just someone who used his equipment, but he works for bbc radio Sheffield dose all there events and works on all big events in parks. and has up to 10k and really sounds good.

he is very good at what he dose just not at web buliding lol

Well I have never seen any evidence on the site about him having 10k of sound. If he does the "big" parks I take it he has a line array system then?

[Cj_The_Dj]

Ive seen him use something similar but some times he just uses some big peavey stacks with 18 subs (but the normal black widow ones) etc

I'm sure Tony (A1DL) will agree, This isn't an outdoor PA system for a "Big" park.

[Cj_The_Dj]

maybe not but you could surely hear it far away. dont fix whats not broken?

[A1DL]

have you heard these yet?

http://www.peavey.com/products/browse.cfm/action/drill/cat/369/begin/1/VersarraySeries.cfm

Thankfully not. The market these cheapo line arrays appeal to, are in the main people whom buy just 2 or 3 tops per side, thus losing the flying benefits and severly compromising the vertical dispertion, particularly at the higher frequencies. Often this sort of kit is seen in groundstacked configurations of 2 or 3 boxes above one sub - why bother? Point source would sound so much better.

Don't think you can compare that stuff to 12/16 box hangs of J or vdosc, it's Fiat vs. Ferrari.

Anyway, I wonder how long it will be before Soundlab or Maplin launch a line array? After all, it's the in thing to have, all "proper" sound companies must have one.

[A1DL]

has up to 10k and really sounds good.

for the nth time, we measure POWER in watts and SOUND in decibels

and you can't hear power :bang:

did i say power???

You said 10K which is 10,000 watts, which is power. :)

[Cj_The_Dj]

But I'm getting slagged off for saying the wrong mesarument when i didn't say any even though i did mean watts.

On the Studiospares forum last year, they said they were thinking about bringout a line array setup aswell. lol.

What you said was 10,000 watts sounded nice...whereas that is the power - I assume that is what Tony is getting at and no-one is slagging you off CJ.

OK if I'm not i will say sorry lol. :sofa: but it did sound like i was been told i said something wrong when i didn't say you measure sound in power.

lol it also looks like hes put it down to 100 quid. if he wasn't so tight he'd get a lot more on ebay.

OK if I'm not i will say sorry lol. :sofa: but it did sound like i was been told i said something wrong when i didn't say you measure sound in power.

You still aren't taking this in are you?

You said 10K sounded nice. 10K = 10,000 watts...and, oh never mind...

[Cj_The_Dj]

i understand 10k mean 10,000 watts. i didnt say it dosnt.

[Sapphire Disco]

OK if I'm not i will say sorry lol. :sofa: but it did sound like i was been told i said something wrong when i didn't say you measure sound in power.

Cj what are you saying ? quick someone fetch me a Babel fish :)

[A1DL]

i understand 10k mean 10,000 watts. i didnt say it dosnt.

CJ

Sorry if you thought I was getting at you - I wasn't.

10,000 watts is commonly referred to as 10k
That's besides the point...
The point is you can't "hear" watts
In simplest terms - the number of watts is the INPUT power a speaker uses to make a sound and that sound is measured in decibels.

Like a car may use 1 gallon of fuel to travel 30 miles with 2 passengers, a loudspeaker may use 400 watts of fuel to produce 130 decibels of sound at one metre.

Tony

[Cj_The_Dj]

all i said is he had 10k, (meaning 10,000 what) then i get.


for the nth time, we measure POWER in watts and SOUND in decibels

and you can't hear power :bang:

just basically i know it is and i didn't say otherwise.

do you understand.

"also i some of my post may sound confusing as i am very dyslexics"

i understand its just i had a word with the guy, and new how much volume he were using. i saw the bank of peavey pv2000 aswell.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I'd give up Tony.

OK, would you like to share that with us?
How much volume? ;)

[Cj_The_Dj]

i'll just keep quite now.

my last post for the night as im off to bed!

well he used 5 Pv-2000 running at 2 ohms (i know some people say this is bad but Ive never done it so unsure) @ 1000w rms a side each amp = 5000w rms a side for the stack.

im not sure what the spl or desibles were.

[A1DL]

god what is wrong with some people in here i only asked if anyone had any idea of any cheapish speakers and u all went into one lol

God's not online tonight, we don't do religion in here :zip:

No one "went into one" Mark, it's just good old fashioned debate. You'll find it happens all the time, different opinions, all healthy discussion. :)
