TVI Audio C210ii Line Array

Re: TVI Audio C210ii Line Array

I admit I was unaware that the frequencies on an equalizer affected each other.......I've seen several sound guys just pull out the frequencies that aren't needed.....I'll try it flat next time :/

Try this. Use your RTA and set the graphic flat (as in a straight line on the graphic-NOT a flat response on the RTA.

Adjust the gain so the majority of the response is towards the upper end of the RTA (up high so to speak).

Now grab a freq on the graphic-somewhere towards the middle of an area where the response is kinda flat. Pull it all the way down. Notice that more than jsut the freq on the RTA associated with that band will also be affected. Now turn down an adjacent band and notice the RTA response.

You will see that the band have a bit of overlap and affect each other.

Of course with an RTA you cannot see what is happening between the bands-but it IS being affected. As with all other audio filters-they do not stop where the numbers are-but rather the numbers are simply a point on a curve. There is lots of interaction and overlaps going on-so things are not as they appear.

Another outdoor festival for the C210ii's this past weekend. Luckily we didn't get any rain, we really thought we were going to get hit with this tropical storm.

We just did 4 per side over 3 Versarray 218's, uniform 4 degrees between the boxes. It sounded excellent, got several compliments. And, I DID NOT BUILD THAT STAGE AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TENT SOMEONE PUT ON IT.

Please take this as constructive suggestion, not pot shots.

I would have put monitor world stage left to use the pre exisiting fence as another "side" of the tent and physical barrier.
It also would have benefitted you to run your snake runs along side this fence, and you probably would not have needed cable mats .
The pa seems low to me, and I hope it was better attended than what the pictures show.

And oh yeah - doesn't anybody use backlighting anymore... I'm sure this show could have benefitted from some form of backlighting instead of the investment you put into carrying around 3K...
The console seems like a luxury that less than a handful of people would appreciate as opposed to the "eyecandy" of a larger light show that everyone would notice....

BTW - Let me know when you're tired of lugging that around. ;p

No offense taken Shane First, we had to put monitor world stage right because our distro has to be near the monitor console to be near amp racks..etc... with fixed length power cables (50 amp jumpers) and our Feeder cable is only 125' but the disconnect for the venue was 118' from stage right.

You can't see from the pic but there is crowd traffic from both sides, so there is no benefit really to running the snake/foh power along the sides, they would have to be "yellow Jacketed" anyway.

And lastly, I have everything at FOH wired through a Whirlwind Disconnect which is setup for the H3K. Although the crowd was slim, we did have a "national act" with rider play on the stage so I put out the good stuff.

I have an EWI 32 channel snake and GL2400 with behringer/dbx outboard for smaller events but this event was better served by the bigger stuff.

Biggest show yet for the TVI's. Joe...Joe..Joe...Diffie at the South MS Fair. We had +2,000 in attendance and it sounded awesome.

I see diffie is still using those massive monitors.

Yes, he does. And his monitor guy spent over an hour trying to ring them out in that room.

We had the Bellamy Brothers in Taylorsville, MS yesterday. I'd estimate close to 1,000 in attendance outdoors on the grass. The system performed well, the throw was farther than we had experienced here in recent years with Versarray. The FOH guy gave me a T-shirt after the show and thanked me for providing him with "an awesome rig."
