[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 59026, member: 158"] Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices Continuing the swerve... I was with another company providing second FOH and monitor drive on an earth day festival about a Hundred years ago when I first encountered those cabinets. And yeah, there're 10" drivers. But there are eight of them per cabinet IIRC? Anyway, show was at merriwhether post (a typical shed) and mike put up a giant pile of those things. I want to say. we were pushing close to a hundred cabinets by the time you added in out fills and the like. Anyway, when Collective Soul hit the stage and the kick drum hit, I think I had a Spiritual Awakening right then and there. So much delicious low end from nothing bigger than a ten and no subs. Awesome! I do recall very well the large transformers used to run the rig. And some patient MHA guy explaining a bit of it to me. In retrospect, mike, it could have even been you. But with a mix of 120 and 240 power, it was pretty important to stay on point with all that stuff, including making sure we had a good solid neutral at all times.... And we're back on topic. :) [/QUOTE]
