I was at an open mic night where a Blue Acoustics systems was used. Without doubt the best sound I have heard from any similar sized PA. Good shout.

A tad more info here.

If you have the original Silverstone, I had one too and in many places had to dial down the low end. This is more the fault of the rooms than the cabinet. I have since gone Monaco then, owing to increasing age and puniness, on to the Monza. One of the things I know about @stevie at LFSys is that he goes through many iterations of drivers, cabinet designs and horns to ensure the best result he can within the design parameters. Many well respected drivers are rejected during the design process. There are also minor changes as time progresses and my early. version of the Monza does not have the recessed handle now standard on LFSys cabs. Having just had a hernia operation, the lighter weight of the Goodwood does appeal but I am loathe to give up my Monza.

The remote had a spare battery and that also did not work. I connected the light to my DMX controller and it works fine. I had to re-learn DMX too, as I had forgotten that the addresses go up in 16s.

Don't get fooled. Most low cost "isolated" power supplies are not really isolated. The isolation they speak of is that each output has its own short circuit protection.

You will be missed DP.

I should point out that the tweed cable above is no longer stocked so is a special order. It makes a nice cable when made but is is no fun to work

Well it looks like I will be able to come as the tummy tuck (AKA hernia repair) has worked well. At a recent Bash, I was given a load of faulty cables. I am in the middle of going through them and repairing them. If Mike lets me, I will take a small table and display them to sell. They will not have the lifetime guarantee I give with my bespoke cables, but they will be good spare cables and I will guarantee them for a year. There are instrument (2-6m) and speaker cables (0.5-1.2m). Where the current connectors are usable, I will reuse them, where they are not, I will replace them. Most of the instrument cables will have a straight plug on one end and a right-angled plug on the other. The speaker cables will have SpeakOns on both ends, either Neutrik, or Rean. Prices from £5-10. Of course, I will still be taking orders for any special cable requirements you have in the meantime.

Paid.

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl was a favourite of the band Ten Years After, but also done by Muddy Waters, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Yardbirds, Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison etc. As a young man just older than many schoolgirls it did not seem out of place but at 73? The problem is that most of the songs we do are talking of young men and their longing for young women although age is rarely mentioned in the lyrics. The one I have trouble with is Brown Sugar. It’s a great song but does it have racist overtones or is it just an historically accurate of days gone by? By all accounts it was written in about 15 minutes and the Stones no longer do it. What about the maddest appropriation of all, Swing Low as the anthem of English Rugby?

Mike, pm your payment details please. Not 100% sure I can make it but hoping to be there.

Can you post yours just in case it works for me?

The 4 digits are the DMX codes, sadly there is no real standard. I bought some Mini Pars from one company and could not get it to work. It turned out that the codes had changed between the Mk1 and MK2 but the DMX protocol in the User Manual was not updated. One of the codes is rfof, any help with that as it is not DMX. Also on my other lights there is SouN which is sound to light. No such code on this one.

Arrived today. Lights work Fine but no instructions, inc DMX protocol. In addition the IR remote does not work. Tomorrow I will try it with the DMX controller but does anyone have any ideas on how to activate Sound to light?

Iron Maiden in concert on BBC2. My goodness those guys earn their money. 1000 MPH and yrs Dickinson’s vocals are far from perfect but you’ve to sing, while doing the 110 metres hurdles. I honestly don’t think the fingers of my right hand could move that fast without havi g to play the bass, let alone playing while jumping. Respect 🤘

On that matter is it A Jacks or Eye Yacks.

Those are now sold out but I have ordered something similar for £33🤞

Just stand in front of the port. Your trousers would flap nicely.

And for that I am grateful. It is a word that should only exist in the dictionaries of mad audiophiles.

I must admit he goes to great lengths to get to the answers. Watch his cabinet video it is insane but again informative.

I have watched this twice now and although it is biased towards guitars, the fundamentals work for bass too. https://youtu.be/wcBEOcPtlYk?si=otak2Z475-79ypb- Jim Lill is a professional guitarist based in Nashville and although no electronic engineer he does use a vigorous way of testing things. His other videos on cabs and mis are also worth watching. Watch the whole video and post your comments on it below. Please keep an open mind.

There is no magic to having two cabs. The power is split between the cabs giving the drivers an easier time. When you start pushing a speaker, power compression creeps in and close to maximum power will rob you of half you volume. Beyma used to publish power compression graphs for their drivers but as no-one else did, it looked to the layman that they were the only ones that suffered it. The second cab is also closer to your ears and that has to be a good thing.

This is generally true. If you need to move a cable and insert/remove it often, you need quality connectors. For patch cable the connectors and cable is less important.

We worshiped those TnBs and Goliaths. The bassist in my first band had that rig. The TnB amp working it worth a lot so as others have said, make sure it goes to the right person.

I have had K&M and Gravity Mic stands, in fact I still have the Gravity one. Both really good quality but I feel that the K&M stands have the edge. Both were one hand operation as I hate adjusting a normal stand with a bass on my shoulder. The Gravity was purchased as the K&M was out of stock at the time but is has always been reliable.
