Members BillESC Posted December 14, 2015 Members Share Posted December 14, 2015 Saw this sound installation the other night (not my job.) Here's a quick drawing of what I saw. Note: not to scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dookietwo Posted December 14, 2015 Members Share Posted December 14, 2015 Are the sx200's for monitors on the floor? The sx100's are delay speakers I'm guessing but why are they faced that way? Hard to tell about their spacing without knowing the scale. Spoken word or ?

Members BillESC Posted December 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2015 The one lone SX200 is a ceiling mounted monitor as far as I can tell as it is facing the stage. The two at the back of the stage, also ceiling mounted, are facing forward. Looking at the processing, there is no delay. The facility is an auction house and event center.

Members agedhorse Posted December 15, 2015 Members Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'll bet the client is not happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wesg Posted December 15, 2015 Members Share Posted December 15, 2015 I wonder if the lone SX200 was an afterthought band-aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillESC Posted December 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2015 I doubt it as I was there for the Grand Opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted December 15, 2015 Members Share Posted December 15, 2015 These are the kinds of installations that (should and often do) haunt the installer/designer forever, like a bad memory. If you are fortunate enough not to get sued for failure to reasonably follow industry best practices (thus delivering a grossly defective design). I just walked away from an installation where the client made all of the very worst possible choices in every aspect of their project, everybody on the committee had their own agenda and were clear that they would likely litigate if they were not pleased with the results. I knew they would be unhappy (and justifiably so) but when a client tells you how to do something, you know it's going to end poorly, and they reserve the right to litigate, that's when you run like hell (IMO). The gift that keeps on taking, year after year after year like a bad divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soulx Posted December 19, 2015 Members Share Posted December 19, 2015 But that same setup totally kicks ass in the installer's 5.1 home theater... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trevcda Posted December 19, 2015 Members Share Posted December 19, 2015 I dunno... I'm not defending it but it looks like just about every jukebox installation with speakers I've seen done by amusement companies in bars all over the United States. Could it be better? Absolutely. Is the client going to be disappointed? Only if they've been exposed to better options. Otherwise a "better" option on paper only looks more expensive. Unless you educate your client and demonstrate the differences and/or they perceive an issue with the system or his clients opinion of it, it will most likely suffice for his needs. Anybody that needs anything different, or more of it, will probably bring their own system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted December 21, 2015 Members Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's not a juke box set-up. If you look, there is a STAGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillESC Posted December 21, 2015 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2015 It is primarily an Auction House. I fear no one will be able to understand a fast talking auctioneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trevcda Posted December 21, 2015 Members Share Posted December 21, 2015 I absolutely agree with both of you! I know it's not a jukebox set up and I did see the stage. I was just thinking the owner may have talked to the guy that did the install at his buddy's bar or something. You go with what you know, until you know better. I think I saw that on someone's signature here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
