HazBeen Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’ve had the Markbass Ninja 500 210 combo for a while now, great sounding, simple, compact, light. Today I bought a gently used Markbass 102p 2x10. They stack up perfectly, giving me a “line array” vertical 4x10 500 watt stack. Good for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassmanPaul Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I have been stacking my Acme B2 2x10 thus for many years. They have a better dispersion around the room this way. Two take up the same stage area as one., My amplifiers controls are more easily seen. All in all it's a winning configuration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorG Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I stack one on my K1 to similar effect. I think the travelers are fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Nice! I'm just waiting for the TC electronic 208's to come in stock to do the same thing. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that a lightweight, vertical stack is definitely the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenadillabama Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have seen photos of loud bands stacking three 412 cabinets . However good it does sound how wobbly is it ? I would not want to be hit by a falling cabinet ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 My TC RS cabs were designed to be stacked either way but I gigged them vertically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 For onstage monitoring, anything that brings the speakers nearer to your ears is a good thing...didn't TC have a thing where the 210 would stack on the 212 slightly further back to increase the effect? IIRC they did the same thing with the 210 on the 112, too... I had the opposite issue with a BF Big Baby, which comfortably filled an aircraft hangar (literally - it was an RAF gig), for everyone but me, as most of the output shot past my knees...

Yes the TC RS 12" cabs 1x12 or 2x12 are deeper than the 10", so the 10's on top sit further back... there's some science time alignment jiggery pokery behind why that works. Saying that I had the 1x12 as well as the 2x10 and for the hell of it I moved the 10's flush with the front; no discernible difference that my ears could hear.

chris_b Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I used to stack 3 Berg AE112's. Great sound in a small footprint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I did this, too...fantastic sound, it was only when I realised I was hoicking 90+lbs of speaker around (albeit in smaller lumps) that I looked for an alternative...

Muzz Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Old! Ish...it was in the middle of a very busy year with lots and lots of functions and weddings, and I just got bored trundling it all backwards and forwards to the car every time, usually through throngs of drunken punters at 1am...oh, and the back stairs of stately homes weren't made for easy hauling...and there never seemed to be a lift... 😕🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassmanPaul Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I must admit that having an elevator in my home makes moving my stuff in and out much easier! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
