Love respect from south Africa my brother. Nice to see SA people disrupting the industry. So proud!
Amazing video!!! Learned more in 10 minutes than years of DJing.
Thanks David. Great tips!
Please do more of such videos. It really helps
Thanks Dave!
Good Video! It really gives “ The Layman “ a clear explanation of Speaker Placement.
Very practical info David. Thank you!
We hit the "sweet-spot" few weeks ago at a high school prom. Hardly any bass on stage, but slammed on the dance floor. We fooled around a little with room acoustics (and got a tab bit lucky) and were able to throw tons of energy on the dance floor. I am anxious to use my 3 subs in cardioid mode this summer for larger gigs!
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks!
Great video, super helpful
Great info on Balancing the Tops & Bottoms 👏👏
Super helpful. Tks
Great video lesson 👍
Excellent explanation
Good info
Very interested hopefully you can make more videos that teach us were to place the subs on different ways I do weedings and some times you have very complicated escenarios or very limited space that sometimes we need to use some kind of audio processor to fix this issue Thank you very much Saludos from Tampa FL
There is a reason (and a saying) why he didn't mention any processing. The only way you can "eq (alter physics)" a room is with a bulldozer. :-)
Hi Juan, We will be making more videos soon on tips and tricks you can use. As Aaron replied below, processing is not the answer, but there are ways you can make it as good as it can possibly be. Please check out the BASSBOSS video channel and subscribe for more insights from David Lee.
True
Very useful... A question. How far can the mids cabinets be from the sub at the wall? Would some delay be advisable? Thx so much
David, in a V shaped room with us at the very bottom, how would you align 2 subs with 2 tops? Subs along the wall facing towards the corner (and us), facing straight out 90 degrees from the wall or flat against the wall facing away from the corner? Thanks. I think loading the corner would kill us as it would be right behind our booth.
Do you like to set the PA subwoofer knob slightly below 12 oclock? Or keep them at 12 oclock exactly? And then, adjust the tops as necessary?
Dave. Can you do a video on setting up limiters for your subwoofers?
Bassboss subs don't need limiters
Hi Matty! Steve is right, BASSBOSS subs have the limiting built in, but there are plenty of other subs out there that could use a little help in that department. David Lee wrote a blog post on this topic that you can find on our website at www.bassboss.com/blog/limiter-subwoofers/ Thanks!
Seems I'm always too far from the wall to wall load my sub. How far is too far from sub to mains if I walk load. I'm thinking of I wall load the sub my mains would be like 4 feet in front of the sub from wall.
300th like 👍
The speakers behind him are not in the BASS BOSS lineup at all. Does anyone (or DJ Life Mag) know what the left speaker is?
Hi Wrapgrade! That's a new line that we will be releasing soon. Stay tuned for more info. Thanks!
@@BASSBOSSBASS I am very interested! Compared to the orange accent of DV12-MKII, this yellow tweeter looks good in design with brand identity.
I like the symmetrical two woofers.
My problem always is the fact that I cannot get my tops off the ground unless I do ground stacks therefore eliminating the possibility of Center clustering my Subwoofers
set your tops of truss or tripod with a scrim light it up. more gear, more set up but would look and sound great...👍😉👍
@@ladjkaoz my tops are Renkus Heinz stx4. About 100lb box. Yes obviously there are speaker lifts but they cost about $5000 each I do arrays of 3 per side Or two per side. So you can see why my go to are always ground stacks. My tsw 218 subs can be setup vertically at about 56 inches high. So that gets my tops up high enough for what I do. My B rig w Bassmaxx subs are 42 inches high.. so my community ibox tops work fine for that since they are about 40 inches high. Anyway. If I had more cash and space I would get some lifts.
@@AdubsAudio1 ya. It’s a tough issue to resolve
@@LoVeAmBiEnT I see 3 of those is 300lbs... that's some serious weight... I stack my tops VRX932 on top of a Yorkville ls1208 but I rather fly them. May be its just me but the sound is way better when it comes from above than from the side.
@@ladjkaoz yeah for sure the thing is I do lunderground House and techno events so ground stacks where the speaker is kind of closer to your face is a good thing in the dance community. but I see what you mean obviously having your mid high boxes up in the air is definitely a more pleasant experience But for the dance community though they literally want it in their face. Lol.
Sub top balance….
I always say when a woman and man are arguing, the higher frequencies will always be louder
No shit. I'm gone do this with my pair of bb15
🤔.
🤫🤫🤫🤫now everyone know my secrets...😔
