SOUND SYSTEM IN JAMAICA

[@thenowchurch6419]

As a Trini, I say big up and respect to all Jamaican Sound Systems for pioneering the art and pumping your own home grown music. Bless !

[@muskymcg]

that guy connecting the electric could have been the first Jamaican astronaut if he had got it wrong...go rasta ,me a sparky too.. respect from Ireland

[@DreiGuapo]

respect from Ireland too :)

[@ViktorT6550]

I guess many people do not understand how good and normal this video is until they are the ones to put up a system like that in working order. You all seem bright minded!

[@eagle1532]

And when the fete is over they have to pack it back up, then unpack it from the truck when they get back home. Music is hard work, respect to the sound systems crews

[@djbis]

I was incredibly excited to see what came out of the first truck. The anticipation and suspense was tremendous! Then for a moment I didn't know if I should laugh or cry when I saw those sad Mackies. I didn't give up and I watched-on. Solid video. Cool to see how it's done in Jamaica. But you had me scared for a moment there... lol!

[@romainepope]

lol those mackies dj monitors lol

[@sh585175]

Memories of my dad, aka "Hytrol Disco" in Waterford... Miss standing by the speakers letting the base beat through my body..... Thank you very much for sharing, I really enjoyed it.

[@andreyandreevdjneeds7720]

its good to know that knobs on the amps are attenuating the input level. always good to be cranked up all the way. set levels from your processor/controller.

Good to see the Sound System Culture is still alive and doing well! Peace and love Brethren :)

Notice how they are all set to about 1/3 volume? Everything before the amps is probably maxed out haha

[@thatguy_jose]

Omg does anybody see the clipping lights on the amplifiers!!!? poor things are working too hard

[@soundfreak8892]

jose _Leo815 Hey but when you give them the voltage they do fine. in this situation i would use crown xti 6002

[@andrewallen9993]

Well they are distorting like mad (clipping in other words outputting flat topped waves to the speaker and creating noise) but then who can tell chronic distortion and noise from music in Jamaica?

[@isettech]

The goal is LOUD. Notice how they only have 3 QSC amps for that rack of speakers. Distortion is normal. So is blown gear. Loved the on site electrician and electrical safety. A very cringe worthy system. This type of installation is more common than not for carnival. Hearing protection is highly recommended. Some mobile parade systems are running on multiple 5KW contractor generators to run the equipment. They don't bother with silent generators. They just drown them out.

[@andrewallen9993]

isettech He is not an onsite electrician. He is an expert Jamaican onsite thief stealing electricity!

[@isettech]

Missed the sarcasm in my post. LOL.

[@kevonmanuel]

Back in the good ole days, having this much equipment was the standard but in 2015 - 2017 you don't need all that. Two Lab.gruppen PLM 20k44 amps. One DBX driverack 4820 Controller. Add whatever mixer and audio source you want. For speakers: Two Danley Sound Labs SH60s and bass, Two TH118s.

Any distortion is from the camera mic, as all of the RED clipping LEDs on the amps are almost solid! lol At 24:45 the distortion is gone and the MIC sounds just fine. So it can be made clean after all!

[@albertosi87]

Hi! I'm from Barranquilla-Colombia and here we've got sound systems as well but we call them pick up ! Every sound system has a name to identify it a Dj who plays African Music and champeta music! Champeta is a Caribbean genre!

[@Grovetownyute74]

Some of you guy in here is full of shit. Not every sound system owner can afford top tier equipment, for you to come in here and say what a man should or shouldn't have in his amplifier rack is not needed. Not all of us have 3 or 4 people spending in a sound system, some of we have families and this is a hobby. I buy what I can afford until I'm able to upgrade in the future. Far too many times we only seek to point of the bad instead of highlighting the good. For those of you who have a problem please put your own sound system together and show us how it's done. If not then shut the fuck up. Thank you

[@revoxjazz8317]

That's the way it is! I completely agree with your comment and I'm also sorry that people are in the habit of making references to this or that equipment, for nothing. This is not a good thing. Good it is when someone observe, listen (not on KZbin), draw sound technical conclusions and recommends the sound service to a new customer. That is what makes the owner of a somehow poor equipment make money and can invest in better equipment. Greetings from Portugal.

I dont 100% understand why there has to be soo much tuning done when they are probably playing outside quite often. If it's in an open space like this surely it cant vary that much, but I can more understand if theres quite a few buildings that are close by or they are indoors.

[@romainepope]

Karizma231 subpar equipment ,power , lack of knowledge, Bunch of guies doing what they like , culture , style of music

[@Karizma231]

I get and hear that, just seems like they waste soo much time with all these test...surely they could just have a few basic presets ready from what type of places they have been already and just do minor tweaks to suit whatever they feel is necessary at the time. But I agree it's all 'part of the culture', like a ritual...they could have been to the same place the week before and I bet they would still be setting up like they never been there lol.
