[QUOTE="Charles Harrigan, post: 31969, member: 23"] Re: Colt's Neck High School Graduation I think the room played a big role in my experience mixing those 2 first songs at the convention, but here's my $.02: When they were in front of the stage, anything i put into the subs turned to mush. I've never had that sort of experience before with any system. I had the string bass in just the mains, and it sounded fine, but as soon as i turned the aux up, it went to mud. The bass guitar just disappeared out of the mix and was replaced with this droning mess, and that was before the kick mic fed back. EQ also didn't help (after I realized that you have to manually engage it on the pro6, which took one song), which leads me to think that it was the room making a mess of things. Side note: during the SMAART class later that week, when Jamie measured the in room impulse response of one of the JD21s. The second arrival was larger than the first, and the third was as large as the first. Once they were moved into the hallway, they seemed, to me at least, to be better behaved than they were in the middle of the room. They definitely were loud, went pretty low, but as Bennett said, not as low as I was expecting. I wonder if putting multiples of them together to increase the mouth area would lower the cutoff of the box. Personally i'd like to get 6 together to form one mouth in a field with 6 fp14k powered off a 300A 3 phase variac connected to a 100kW genset..... Like that's gonna happen. Seems like my review is more about the room than the subs, oh well here it is anyways. [/QUOTE]
