    Hello nice video.
    So would you say it’s worth getting the bass boss over the RCF? For loud and clean.
    Also how many amp does it needs to plug on a breaker? Thank you.

    • @FinestEventss
      @FinestEventss  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are both great speakers, I don't think you would be disappointed with either. I think you should decide on which type of dispersion you prefer? The RCF is narrow and the Bassboss is 120 degrees. They both get loud and are clean. I personally use the DV12 MK2 now and I cannot say how many you can put on a breaker. They are very efficient and pulled less power than my Evox 8's when I measured them on my amp meter. They also can be crossed over at 4 preset points. The more low end you take out the more you can run (This is when you run with subs). Hope that helps.

    ⁠have any of you heard the new BassBoss subs? I have not heard the mk2’s but I do know they have given the new ones more power, better hardware and software. The DV12’s saw a decent improvement with the MK3’s so I’m assuming the subs did too. I bought the 18 with the 4 ports in the corners and man is that thing loud, low, and accurate. My RCF 18 doesn’t even come close to the BassBoss 18. As far as the DV12 MK3’s they are superior to any 12’s I’ve ever owned including my RCF’s the I upgraded from. The clarity, accuracy, and dispersion are unmatched and the dispersion is like that of a line array.

    • @FinestEventss
      @FinestEventss  หลายเดือนก่อน

      What RCF’s did you have? As for subs, I have yet to hear better than Bassboss. The DV12 is an excellent speaker but its downfall is the weight and ergonomics. If handling on your own they aren’t fun. However, the sound quality is excellent. I have heard from other users that MK3 isn’t much better than MK2 if at all but I haven’t tested that with my own ears. I recently had a chance to compare the Meyer Ultra x40 to the DV12 and the Meyer box is the only one I have found that literally destroyed it. However it’s nearly double the price. For the money, and they are expensive, Bassboss is a great choice.

      @@FinestEventss​​⁠​​⁠I have the Jmix8 and j8 for mains and the 18” 708 ASII for the sub. Honestly they sound pretty good but no comparison to the BB DV12’s MK 3’s. The RCF sub is ok but does not project like the BB. I don’t find the DV12 to be awkward to carry and most of the time I transport them on a small cart. As far as putting them on the stands, I just lay them on their side on the cart, then stick the stand in the bottom of them and lift them up. I tried to lift them up onto the stands when the stands were upright, but they are too heavy to try to manipulate that way. I know some people say they don’t like the way the DV12’s look but I think they are awesome looking. When I was in Sweetwater, I tested out RCF’s upper line and still thought they could not compare to the clarity of the bassboss 12’s. They definitely could not cover the low end like the bosses can and the bosses sounded much flatter and accurate to me.

      @@bsbarber73 if they weren't awkward you wouldn't have to lay them down and put all that pressure on your sub pole to lift them up. I know another guy that does that but I don't trust putting that pressure on 4 tiny screws. You should be able to easily lift them up but its hard because of the design and weight. I also have VS21's and when they are in the upright position you have to get on a ladder to get them on the poles (Unless you're super tall). I almost killed myself a few times when I was stuck on my own because there were no where to grab and I was in an odd position on a ladder. Not doubting its sound at all. I like the sound of the DV12 too and have made a suggestion to Bassboss to make a lighter version that is designed to be used with subs with better ergonomics. Meyer X20 is 27lbs and just as loud if not louder than the DV12. Clarity is better too. It is also a wooden cabinet . This is how I know David can do it because its been done.

    • @bsbarber73
      @bsbarber73 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@FinestEventssI don’t typically put them on the sub. Usually the sub is center stage. If and when I get another sub I will probably do that and actually might be easier to lift if standing on the sub. My tripods are beefy and hydraulic so really it is one motion and they go up quick. The ones you mentioned I’m sure are great but no way I can afford double the cost per speaker. Don’t make enough off of gigs to justify spending any more than I did. Maybe later down the line but just bought these and pretty happy for now.

    Did you match gain? Have the speakers volumes all the way down and turned off. Bring the boards output level to +12dbu with Pink Noise. Turn on 1 speaker and bring its volume up on the back until the limit light just starts to flash and turn it off and don't touch the volume knob again on the speaker. Next do the other speaker the same way and again don't touch its volume knob again. Don't change the boards +12 dbu output when setting these gains for both speakers. With this done both speakers will reach full output with the same input. Of course you can turn the board down now and do your testing. If both speakers are not gain matched.(input sens.) Then one may be louder than the other but will reach full output first which is not an accurate test. This at least will get you in the ball park. ( Of course if +12dbu is too much with the speakers volume all the way down you can lower your boards output some. Again the idea is to have both speakers reach full output at the same time with the same signal.)

    • @FinestEventss
      @FinestEventss  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is what we did. We let both limit lights flash a bit while testing just to keep things equal. The DV12 recently had a DSP update. It sounds even better now. Be sure to watch video 3 and you will see the results. Thanks for watching!

    • @douglasallen534
      @douglasallen534 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@FinestEventss Only one thing to consider. 2 different brands of speakers may have completely different idea's as to what goes on during limit. In some brands the limiter also effects the frequency response and spl broad band too. Also how those limiters are setup for each bandpass and how they react to music could be different also. In general once you setup for unity as I mentioned above you can then turn down the mixer and test the speakers 10 db's or so below limit. The SPL will have the same difference between the 2 speakers but the spl and frequency response will not include the limiter section effect on the output. As we all know if your running a speaker into limit you don't have a large enough system. Set unity between the 2 speakers at limit then drop the main's down and compare from there. Also next time check both speakers off axis at the same degrees off. Check both at 45 and both at 60 ( I'd have to watch the video again to see if it was 60 degrees ) A better reference to compare the two. Overall Great Work! Keep them coming. I would again setup unity then lower the output on the board so both speakers are no longer into limit. Just mute the board when switching between them and be sure to leave the boards output and volume on the back of the speakers untouched. This will show the correct volume difference. A small difference by the person turning up the speaker in back, speaker to speaker, measurement to measurement could easily throw the measurements off. Also place a single speaker at a time in the measurement location. Ported boxes resonate at a given frequency when soundwaves hit them. A speaker close to another speaker not putting out sound could resonate and this sound may cause low frequency content to come out. This added spl may be out of phase and cancel some frequencies with the speaker being tested. Its possible to have 2 different speakers with different phase responses to really cancel output in a given range. By testing 1 speaker at a time and having the other one covered or on the floor face down will help keep this problem from skewing the test results. You've done so much work you might as well get it as close as possible. Thumbs up!

      @@douglasallen534 that took a lot of my time and I can tell you I just don't have the time to go run it all back. I also had to get clearance from the venue for a day, not to mention I have to send the Demo unit back. All I can say is I've listened to both, run pink noise while taking the best and most fair measurements I could in a real world scenario, and listened off axis. Ill personally stick with Bassboss. The DV12 sounds more to my liking and the dispersion is great for what I do. The 12 inch driver has an incredible amount of low end compared to the RCF when they are both compared in full range and doesn't have such a harsh sound at high volumes. Im not saying the TT is a bad speaker, its just not as good as the DV12 in my opinion. To each his own. Do yourself a favor if you are interested in either of these speakers, go listen for yourself. It wasn't an easy task as these models aren't sitting in your local guitar center, but I am very happy I did because I let my ears make the decision and not the specs released by the companies.

    As far as sending 600 watts RMS to a tweeter, there is no reason why you can't just use a heavily limited amp - the purpose simply to keep the signal as clean as possible for sound quality (low THD and peak clipping) reasons - even if in practice, you are using no more than 100 watts of it.

      I pulled those specs from their site at the time of this review. Not sure why the discrepancy now but when I just rechecked, you are correct. A little over 57. Easier to manage because of the handle placement. Ergonomically speaking they are much better than the Bassboss, even the MK2 version of the DV 12.
