Members 1tribe Posted September 7, 2009 Members Share Posted September 7, 2009 Try searching over at prosoundweb.com forums. Good tops to look at would be JF260/290s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members W. M. Hellinger Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 Did some searching around and didnt find much. Who has used these? And i cant seem to find EAW's recomendation for a High/mid cab for use with the sb250. Personally, I'm not a fan of 15" subs... dual or otherwise, although there are exceptions. The EAW SB250 seems to be EAW's offering for their market equalivant to the Meyer USW-1... but I dunno. I'm not impressed with the USW-1, dual 15" (as compared to the dual 18" loaded 650). And although I haven't worked with the SB250 subs, I have worked extensively with the Meyer USW-1 dual 15" subs, and I can't imagine I'd be more impressed with the EAW package of the same basic idea over Meyer. Having said that: I'd imagine that most any EAW mid-high cab would be fine above the SB250's. I happen to run JF260 mid-highs over JF330 (single 18") subs and the combo is A-ok fine as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members roadweiry Posted September 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 What is your biggest dislikes with dual 15 subs ? I'm only familiar with two acts who use dual 15s. Both use 4 cabs and if I remember right crossed them over a lot higher then normal ( well normal to me i guess). 200hz or there about. One groups theory is that crossing over in that range keeps "Doppler distortion" in there mid/high cabs to a minimum which in turn keeps there vocals cleaner. I will say this group has the most consistent good sound Ive came across so far. Have you used the Meyers that you mentioned as comparable models ?

Members W. M. Hellinger Posted September 10, 2009 Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 What is your biggest dislikes with dual 15 subs ? Have you used the Meyers that you mentioned as comparable models ? 15" just don't seem to produce the "fattness" that 18's do. I dunno... maybe I couldn't tell the difference with my eyes closed though. And yes, I own and operate 4 ea. Meyer USW subs (dual 15's), and I own and operate 4 ea. Meyer 650R2 subs (dual 18's). I prefer the 650's, but will use the USW's without hesitation. Nobody I've worked with who's been around the two different sub sets I use have ever mentioned anything about the sound being different... so maybe most of the difference I perceive is in my head?

Members Gomer Pyle Posted September 10, 2009 Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 I've always used and loved 18s also. Early next month I'm going to do some outdoor testing with the LA400s I just bought. Lets see how the 12s compare to the 18s. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted September 10, 2009 Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 RH also has some excellent dual 15 subs. They are big cabinets and tuned pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
