Everything sounds good! A few questions: What is your Tom mix??? Them joints sanging! What level do your subs set on the speaker on the back? Do you have them set to Live or Music?

@@ryandavis317 Long Read Alert Honestly I think I had the toms a tinch too high on this gig. But I have low cut at around 70hz, small 4+ db boost at it’s resonant frequency, wide cut/dip at 250 hz (cut completely), minor dip around 500-650 hz, mid wide boost at 4k about 6+ db. That’s just the high Tom. Low cut and resonance boost varies for each Tom, High Tom panned about 40% to right, mid Tom 15% right, low Tom 25% left. Low Tom is in the sub heavy. Gate opens 0ms, hold 141 ms, release 412 ms. Range 30db. Filter frequency set to its resonance frequency to where it’s listening to just itself and won’t open if someone hits the snare, kick drum, or cymbals. I hate cymbal bleed in Toms, so the Gate settings are important for me. Compressor attack 15ms (think I need it slower to not squash the attack), hold 10ms, release 108ms. I’m not completely confident with compressor settings. All my gear is set to normal/live settings. I dislike club or music mode. It over exagythe lows and cause things to limit quicker

The very top of your top should be pointed directly at the last row of chairs (before the delays take over). Then the delay speakers should be pointed to the back wall at head height. That’s what I would do… your mileage may vary.

Do your speakers still clip even with using the RTA mic? Also can you show us your settings for the cdl 12p on the boxes and master fader?
@lamarcobbs14 ай бұрын
@@ryandavis317 like with any other speaker set up, using an RTA mic to “EQ a Room” is only to get a flat frequency response from said speaker set up. Room EQ is just shaping the overall sound to try and get your highs, mids, and lows to be equal and flat across the entire spectrum. Every room would be different Clipping is determined by how much signal is being sent to the speakers while limiting is the amps max output. So yes clipping and limiting will still happen as it would with any speaker set up. The RTA Mic is just gonna show you what frequencies are HOT and what frequencies are low in the room you’re in. Just a tool to have consistent sound. In this gig I Ran each CDL AT +5db and the signal being sent from my board was at -10db. That goes for the delay speakers as well

Thanks for the in depth solution for the input clipping. Question using the more downward pointing mounting hole on the CDL with a single stand, will that give you enough downward angle for good coverage with one or two speakers? Or do you need to buy the rigging hardware? Thanks
@lamarcobbs14 ай бұрын
@@racesla Hey. Yes, the pole mount option is definitely enough down angle. I prefer to fly them so that I won’t have 15 degrees aiming towards the ceiling. The pole mount option is great for an auditorium or gymnasium where the seats are set up “riser style.” But for most flat seating venues, I like to focus all that high end energy directly to the people. It’s about getting less reverberation for me

@stevemail52394 ай бұрын
From watching this video I believe that these top speakers are sensitive to input signal.. my suggestion would be is to lower the input signal on the speaker itself. Remember that the gain is not a volume it’s to control the input signal.. Set your mixing board to max with out redlining and lower the gain on the tops. Start at -6db and go down until you get the desired signal without clip, and then play with the sub signal without going over infinite, which is 0db. So you don’t get distortion.. that should give you headroom without clip. Just a suggestion..

I agree to disagree with this video. The rigging system that he designed works well on a cheap budget. I know welders who are professional welders who are certified and can get the job done and make a rigging system just as good if not better than the price that Presonus offers for the CDL rigging bar. $599 is a chunk of money and you can buy the same grade steel and hardware and still make this rigging system cheaper that $599. I think what this guy has done is the safest system I’ve seen on a budget. I’ve done sound for years and had different systems set up and I can knock this guy for trying.

Are you running a digital crossover? If not you ha e to get one. Relying on the subs built in hipass/crossover is a nono. Get yourself a dbx driverack pa2 for a few hundred bucks. It seperates all the low mids and highs for you and can do a tonof other stuff, like ring out the speakers to the room and cancel feedback etc. Good video either way!
