admitally I had them loud (clipping at some points)
How do you get yourself into these situations?
Would suspect that the speakers are unlikely to be the cause- never heard of it in my time doing mobile work or crewing for gigs.
The question arises that if they sounded terrible why were you pushing them hard?
sound like you have your out put gain is way to high.
also did you get the speakers new.. Sound one could of changed the driver with some crap and sold them on.
Set your audio in your house and test them..
Not familiar with Mackies - but is there a mic/line in button, and have you selected the right option? Just a thought as on my actives, this can cause a nasty din!
Charlie, following on from what soundtracker said...
How far up did you have the volume/gain dial up on the back of the Mackie's?
The SRM450 is a loud cabinet anyway. I have never clipped any of my Mackies and even with out doing so they are still pretty loud.
You must of been running some serious volume to get them to clip??
I think it is much more likely that people in a confined space have caught a virus from one another. I have heard of sound causing temporary deafness but never nausea and I have been in the business for over 40 years. Lighting is much more likely to disorient than sound. If it wasnt for your Dad being ill then I would say you were being wound up. Stop pannicking and start thinking logically. Are these people ringing you up accusing you of causing their illness? If so they need to visit a doctor/hospital and get medical evidence of their condition and put a written claim in against you which you can then pass to your insurance company.
As for sound generally. My equipment may be old and unfashionable but the quality of my sound is superb. Dont run things into clipping and distortion - its not nice.
CLIPPING Charlie.....my god these must have been wound all the way over.....Quote:
