Members Unalaska Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 I knew a guy who had a decent PA: A&H GL2200, DBX processing and EQ's, McCauley 2x12+2" and matching dual 18's. Every band I talked to who he ran sound for said there just wasn't enough bottom end. Then I mixed on it once, and yeah, no real bottom end. Everything was powered correctly, not 100% sure on the driverack settings but things seemed right. I looked up the data on the dual 18's. Turns out they rolled off at around 50hz quickly. They were designed as some sort of 80-300 box with the intention of a folded horn or something extending down to 30hz. Point is, even though you mah have "subs' or can check that box off, not all subs are adaquate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've never had a problem with all my 50Hz and up subs - but I don't waste all my power pushing out frequencies to them that they can't handle. Maybe because that's all we had thirty years ago when I first started doing sound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimmyP Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 As the other band had a good kick, you know the problem isn't the mic, the mixperson, or the PA. That leaves the drum and the player. Tune the thing. I've never encountered a drum that was tuned too low. At least half of those I've encountered would surely have sounded better if tuned much lower. Same goes for floor toms. And some snares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
