Members KF650SB1000 Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I've get to play with a d&b J-Rig with 12 B2's center clustered (CSA set-up) with a pair of C4-tops as front fills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shaster Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well my rig(s) not working but I am. Playing in an eleven piece band at the Yale http://theyale.ca/index.cfm "home of Vancouver's rhythm and blues". Nice PA - Adamson system (four way I believe) with the best sounding nightclub monitors in town IMO. The gig itself should be great, but I'm making half the money I would make playing as a single. Who says I won't suffer for my art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Just finished picking up the last rig. Everything went well, all 4 events. The columbia tower had fog all day so visibility was bad. The club gig went well and the soundguy really liked the 2 extra dual 18's I dropped off. The seattle wedding was ok but the wedding was in the same room and the band had 45min to set up and eat (bastards!). The other wedding (I played) was ok but the keyboard player really didn't want or care to read the charts very well, made the singer and I have a hard time. That system I ran out of power cords and XLR (milk crate wasn't big enough!) and the behringer powered mixer's 175 watts is optimistic. Whatever, I was tapped out at that point. It was a good nye, but the truck and cargo van are full. The van gear I'm sure has been put away badly with cables in the wrong places, packed well but messy.

Members Unalaska Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 Oh yeah, the worst (not bad though) was at the top of columbia tower, one top cab didn't have any HF. Swapped cables, even went from the HF amp speakon output to the cab (the 15 gets HF material on 1+/- and the 1" gets HF material on 2+/- where usually the LEFT channel is on Pins 1 and RIGHT on pins 2, purely an acedemic test). HF was not working. I opened up the cab and sure enought the 22xt wasn't connected at all! The wires were laying in the cab! I guess when I opened it up and I didn't reconnect them. To make it worse I had labeled the cabs as biamp only on the back and checked them with a powered mixer to make sure (only the 15's should work using pins 1+/-). I only hear the 15's so I ASSumed they worked. Had I checked using a biamp or triamp setup I'd have heard no horn and fixed it. But as is, I was making plans to get another set of cabs or a diaphram to the gig. problem solved, conclusion: always check your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
