It's really fun to have good enough wedges and side fills where-in right after the first song many bands I've worked with, the talent's going..."uh...could you maybe turn my monitor down a little bit?...it sounds great...just maybe turn it down a couple notches?"
We used 8 of the PAS wedges,and used a pair of TOC 2.2 for side-fill..., and yes,, you're right. When the monitors are exceptional, sometimes you DO get asked to "back them down a bit".......heavy rock and rolllers have a very strange look on their faces when they are the ones doing the asking!!!!
:eek:

Unless the pricing I found was unreliable, I have to disagree. Few "weekend warriors" are gonna spend $1500 a piece for wedges. What bar band is toting around $6000+ in floor monitors?
It seems that the Selenium equivelent could be sold around $300 for an OSB constrution and less than $500 for birch or synthetic cabinets. I'm just surprised that someone hasn't designed such an offering since there seems to be absolutely nothing "prebuilt" around, yet there are moderately priced raw components available.
I gotta think something like this could be priced near the Yamaha Club and EV MI+ grade wedges, and yield comparable, if not better performance in a smaller footprint.
do any of the Selenium co-axial speakers use a 2" HF driver? THAT's the secret of the PAS HD Pro stuff,,,,,you don't need the extended frequency response of a sweet 1" driver,,, you need the balls to the walls performance and output of a 2" driver to keep up and maintain robustness......that's the whole advantage in a nutshell of using the 2" format drivers,,, you'd have to try pretty hard to be able to blow a 2" driver in ANYTHING,,,not that it hasn't been done.... :eek:
even the JBL 2" hf drivers are around 500-600 each,, and the PRO-Audio spin-offs are 300.....not cheap,, but effective...

1" v.s. 2" in a co-axial wedge
Personally, I believe in wedges a 1 1/2" compression driver is the best choice.
The 1" is a-ok fine for lower power stuff and smooooth response.
The 2" is just too big, expensive, heavy, and typically pretty darn harsh if pushed hard.
The 1 1/2" is just right for R&R or blues. Still fairly smooth, but will cut through nicely.
the 2x12/coax box if I remember correctluy,, he used 2" throat HF drivers...EV DH1 is what they were......same thing we used in our PAS TOC big system....
we had the EV DH1's in all of our tops,,AND all the wedges..
they never sounded harsh at all,,, because there is no way you can have a 2"HF driver in a wedge and push it hard, and it be at a useful volume... it would be just wayy too loud.... as Long as I worked there, we never blew a HF diver in any of our boxes,,,,,, we DID lose twelve 15" mids though,all at one gig(we think),, we never quite figured out what happened to cause that... damned death metal... :rolleyes:
