I made a balanced pad out of 1% resistors, and put them in a male to female XLR adapter. YMMV, and all that. Also, off the shelf 600 ohm pads are available... -
Well, my hiss through the horns is inaudible from the padding. Hum must be some single-ended problem, like Bill alluded to. Ground loop, that sort of...Leave a comment:

I understand your point, but it did help with my DCX2496. The hiss doesn't change with output level; so after padding the outputs the hiss was inaudible,...Leave a comment:

Check out the Hypex UCD series. They will drive as little as 1 ohm loads. A friend uses them in his active system, and I've spent a lot of time listening....Leave a comment:

Equipment meant for Pro use has a tremendous amount of output available, far more than most amps need, so you can often pad the outputs to reduce the...Leave a comment:

Well if we're talking relatively cheap boards, the Hypex UCD amp boards are very nice sounding. A friend uses them in his active system. They will drive...Last edited by fpitas; Today, 07:27 AM.Leave a comment:

Well, one guy gave us his horn-bashing opinion, and I was dumb enough to respond. But they are hard to get right at the best of times. Lots of learning...Leave a comment:

QSC RMX850 for the bass, Parasound A21 for the mids, and First Watt J2 for the horn section. Been that way for years, never wanted anything different...Leave a comment:

FWIW, on a larger cab for a sub, I found that triangulating to corners from each side-to-side brace made a noticeable improvement in the super-scientific...Leave a comment:

Yeah, I agree. Even if T/S parameters existed as a theory, I doubt that manufacturer had them or published them. You have the choice of a long learning...Leave a comment:

Those may be manufactured from before anyone knew about T/S parameters. Maybe someone measured one, though. Of course, the problem with your measuring...Leave a comment:

Well, I admit I started out just playing around, seeing what I could get a 511 horn to do. Like all hobbies it grew into a monster, and there may be other...Leave a comment:

Agreed. I'm not sure I would have ever been happy with mine if I had to use passive crossovers. When the horn voice coil is two feet behind the woofers',...Leave a comment:

No practical experience, but my gut feeling says to tie them together with a big blob of RTV, to get some vibration absorbing action.Leave a comment:

Like everybody already said, there's a reason that quality speakers don't have a rim around the front panel anymore. Frankly, the very best tend to not...Leave a comment:

I think you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. But if you want to try it, yes, maybe a rubber hose around the brace would keep the arrangement...Leave a comment:

Last I was there, they hadn't set up the M2s where you could really do critical listening. They were just kind of hanging on a random wall upstairs, with...Leave a comment:

If you're ever in Times Square, go to the JBL flagship store and listen to the S9900s in the theater room. Then come tell us how crappy horns are.Leave a comment:
