#1 My daughters set up, more speaker building
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 8:54 am
Some of you may know my daughter is lead singer / bass player in her band and also does alot of solo /accoustic gigs, she is supporting a member of Lindesfarne next week end.. She is slowly getting there?
To date most gigs have mics supplied so they all use their own combo's
Anyway ed gave me and old behringer mixer, which was very good but was also in the worn out stage of its life, she has a few gigs coming up where we need the voices on a seperate amp, the combo's don't cut it
Last weekend a trip to gear4 music and we came back with a new shure mic and a yamaha powered mixer,
Sounded really good when she sung in the shop through their big speakers, but what we had had at home... was not the same
So back to the drawing board , i have a pair of nice very heavy 10" drivers and i thought they would team up with nicely with an old celestion comp driver i had, so together thats the vocals sorted in an open back cab that ive started.
The second speaker is for the Bass, we tried the guitar with a heavy 12" in a sealed box, it seamed to work very well, so i've started on a box for that,
Knowing how a speaker reacts to bass ive used well braced 25m ply, but im am cosidering fitting a removable panel to be able to convert the speaker to open backed for her acooustic gigs, as open back sounds much brighter
So i've now got a few projects on...
