Phil Starr Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Following some of the discussions in this Forum a few of us are looking to run a PA shootout at the South West Bass Bash. It's in The Memorial Hall, Cheddon Fitzpaine, Rowford, TAUNTON, TA2 8JY just outside Taunton in Somerset, a few minutes from J25 of the M5. It's a bass bash so there will be lot's of lovely basses and bass gear but everyone is welcome and there might be people here who want to have a listen to some PA. I'll be running an hour's session just after lunch. It's a great day out and the lunch is wonderful, so far the furthest anyone has come is from Aberdeen! Since the debate here has been about how much power is needed, where to put subs, can you get away with little speakers if you have a sub, is there a system that will do it all the shootout will be comparing a pair of 15" tops, 10" tops with a sub and a 'stick' system. If I can get a second sub in my car I'll also try and demonstrate the power alleys you get when you put the subs under your tops. So the basic shootout will be: RCF 745's v's RCF ART310's +sub v's RCF Evox 8 v's Wharfedale Titans Details Here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I assume the Titans are mine? Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Edwards69 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Is there any chance of this being filmed? I'd be most interested in listening to this demonstration. (And yes, I'm quite aware of the limitations of recording a PA system, but still, it could be useful to those of us who live too far away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does video and high quality audio. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Beware of the pitfalls of doing this indoors. Some years ago there was a much ballyhooed subwoofer shootout in the States. A dozen or so subs were compared, and the RTA measured results were all quite similar. That's because what they were measuring wasn't so much the individual subwoofers response as it was the room response. If the room has recording studio acoustics you're good, but if it has gymnasium acoustics it may be a futile exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really just a bit of fun although I suspect the beat will still sound better than the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
