| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @emergingsoul An awful lot of old people still voice “you shouldn’t need subs” and I think this was accurate in the days of Led Zeppelin, early Genesis, English rock and roll. What I see these bands doing with subs on the recording side has cer... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? @emergingsoul Stacking subs is not a gimmick or a marketing ploy. But its effectiveness does relate to your goal sad others have said. One sub is nearly Omni in a room and expose standing waves everywhere. Moving it often just moves the st... | |
| Experience with stacked subwoofers? Whenever you “stack” speakers of any sort you alter dispersion in the direction they are stacked. Ever seen/heard of a sound “column”? This is exactly the principle, stacking shortens vertical dispersion. This is used effectively on tour sound ... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? I don’t know- we used in pan alley live to demo the new ATC 20A, a small active two way. The trick is if you can identify that the vocals use a cheap dynamic mic (sm57/58?) while the band is direct from the console. | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal Very large corporations owning small audio brands isnt a great plan. I worked at one of the bradns mentioned during the early 90s and while it was wonderul staff and wonderful internal people, the management above seemed very motivated by stock v... | |
| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal Is all china or India now. Most of those brands dont make anything in their home countries and the few that do make only a few of their small quantity highest end products there. The real thing of value in those brands is the car audio. There ... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @onhwy61 ATC actually did make an active crossover years ago, before they made the "amp packs" with everything built in. I’ve asked about making another one over the years, but calibrating a system properly is not easy. I use an Audio Preci... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h Sounds like your journey ended up in the right place. Ultimately the thing that makes ATC the MOST different is the low distortion drivers. This is is something both passive ad active users can appreciate when it helps them hear things... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @ei001h You’ve put forth the only argument that wins. It for this reason that we still build passives as many in the hi fi hobby love the ability to "craft their own" so to speak. The technical virtues of "the lowest distortion way" dont alway... | |
| !!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!! I think judging am amp on class is indeed not wise, as I have a full on service department in this space I tried to build a good sounding Class D amp, Not easy at all. You still need a great front end, you still need a great power supply, you nee... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations I am the US importer. The actives will outperform the passives every time, not due to amplifier issues but do to control of phase. There is no way to control phase in a passive crossover. This a huge performance issue very few talk about. In ... | |
| Throwing 2 High End brands together will not automatically equal success. Thoughts? It requires a lot of knowledge and experience to know how to compare two products much less two brands. The only people who have this opportunity are studio techs who hook up gear and take it down for a living (for the visiting engineers in a com... | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person It was the NS series Yamahas not HS. And at the time (70s, 80s), Auratone was the king along with a wide variety of other speakers depending on budget. Tannoy was probably the king of fidelity, Auspurger the king of rock and roll in walls. Toda... | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person They have been here. ATC specifically has designed for wide dispersion as this is critical in larger studio control rooms where mutiple people are working on the recording (scoring recording) or you have a large console that has a lot of channels... |
