Equipment / PA System

We have just implemented a new PA system

 

Subwoofers:

JBL SRX 718S (Single 18" speaker) 1 Cabinet per side


House Mixer:
Mackie Onyx 24/4
Mids/Highs:

JBL SRX 715 (Pole Mounted-1 Cabinet per side)
(1-15" Speaker/3" Compression Driver)

  
   

 

Old system
2-18" JBL Subwoofers (Stock JBL enclosures)
2-15" JBL Midrange (Stock JBL enclosures)
2-2" JBL Horns
4-JBL Piezo's ("Babycheeks") - 2 each side with individual volume pot's
All 4 horn enclosures custom built by Brad. Piezo boxes wired by Dan at Altel Sound in Bridgeport.

All enclosures except baby cheeks have been refitted/rewired with Neutrik Speakon connectors
 

 

For very tight spaces, 2 JBL EON powered speakers are mounted on tripods and the main Crossover is bypassed.

 

House Power Amps:

QSC PLX3602 - Subwoofer Amp, (1250W@4Ohms)
       
Carver PM1200 - Midrange Amp ((600W)

Carver PM300 - Hi's Amp (150W)

 

 

The House Board is a Mackie Onyx 24-4, which replaces the Carvin 24 Channel, 4-bus Mixer, connected by a 100' snake to the stage. All busses & L/R faders are summed to a Center output. A Mono signal is sent  from the board to:

DBX 2031 Mono 31 band EQ
DBX 160X Compressor
BBE 822 Aural Enhancer
DBX 223XL, 3-way Mono Crossover, which splits the Low/Mid/High and feeds the 3 House amps onstage via the snake.

A custom 100 ft, 24 channel snake splits inputs 1-12 to send the vocals & instruments inputs to the Stage monitor mixer. Any remaining splits are handled by the stage mixer which also has built-in splitters on all 16 channels. The remaining 12 snake channels are straight inputs to the house mixer.

A Symetrix headphone amp is used to cue up mixer channels.

Retired:
Digitech digital 1/3 Octave Graphic Equalizer
DOD 31 Band Graphic EQ

Alternate set-up:

A Mono signal is sent  from the board to:

DBX Driverack PA, (which splits the Low/Mid/High and feeds the 3 House amps onstage via the snake)
Mackie Onyx 24x4
