Cantdosleepy Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 'Bass' - like the fish. My topic rules! In future I will describe my amps not by the speaker configuration, but by the total surface area, expressed in functions of pi. So a one-by-fifteen would obviously be 7.5²[size=4][font="Times New Roman"]π[/font][/size]" I'd obviously prefer a 50[size=4][font="Times New Roman"]π[/font][/size]" array. Stacked vertically, naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetkevorkian Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 [quote name='alexclaber' post='17534' date='Jun 14 2007, 12:28 PM']Exactly - it's an Italian name, like Bergantino - stress on the penultimate syllable.

Rich Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 For me, multiple speakers (e.g. 2x10) are 2-by-10, whereas single speakers (e.g. 1x15) are one-fifteen. Eh-pee-FAW-nee? hmmm sounds pretty crap to my ears Although I expect they think my surname sounds pretty stupid too Think I'll stick with 'eh-PIH-funnee' unless I ever meet one of them [quote name='lukeward2004' post='17450' date='Jun 14 2007, 11:08 AM']Hartke - Har-keee[/quote]Blimey, I'd always used 'Har-kuh'.

Oxblood Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 For what it's worth: Pedulla: accent on the second syllable and rhyme with "duller". In order to be pronounced 'dyulla' or 'dyoola', it would need to have only one letter L Epifani: as Alex Claber says, it's Italian, so accent (and lengthen) the penultimate syllable: "Epi-[i]FAAA[/i]-ni" Just think of it as something you'd order from an Italian restaurant. Behringer: with a soft 'G' - but I try not to say that one at all if I can help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedulla... Pedyula or pedyoola Behringer... Bay-Ring-er or Ber-inj-er Epifani... Epi-Fanny or Epi-farn-ee[/quote] I always thought Pedulla rhymes with Medulla (as in Oblongata) i.e. [i]peh-Doo-la[/i]? Don't know how Mike Pedulla says his name, or how Epifani says their company name, but I have to disagree about the origin of that one. It's an alternative spelling of Epiphany, which can be traced back to ancient Greek, and is usually pronounced [i]eh-Pih-fah-nee[/i].

"Jerzy Drozd"[/quote] If the name is Polish in origin then it might not have the correct accent mark. You'd normally use a soft zhhhh sound which isn't used in English pronounciation, but its the same sound as in Zhivago. If there was a dot over the z then the sound would be a little harder.

colda Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Behringer - Beh-rin-ger (the 'g' as in 'gold') They are a German company, the 'j' sound, I believe, is more so a case of 'if that's the way you want to say it then fine - as log as you buy the stuff we don't care', of course you could argue that 'Behringer' in English is pronounced 'j' like. To compare - cars: Porsche, would you sound the 'e' on the end? - if not then fine use the 'j' for Behringer, personally whilst living in Switzerland I could never accept seeing a sweet XJS being called a 'yaguar' Myself, I prefer to say 'Ampeg' rather then 'Behringer' (if only funds would allow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
