SOUNDMEN: What kinds of setups do the boys with LSSA use?

Post by asaa » Sun Jun 01, 2008 12:04 am

Hey all

This is my first post here and I'm extremely glad that I've found this place.... Although I've never attended BM, I've dreamed about it ever since hearing about it through a good friend of mine who met his future wife there (and was eventually married there, too!).
This year, the time and money restraints which have previously prevented me from attending BM have loosened enough so that it looks as if I am going to be able to experience it this year.

I am a music producer and DJ from Los Angeles, and have lately been dabbling in acoustics, sound reproduction and speaker building. My own little money-dissolving project as of late has been to design and build a custom 4-way sound system capable of playing at most small to medium sized venues.

Now, I would LOVEEE more than anything to be able to bring my gear to BM to create, record and play music for whomever to enjoy (even if it means next year), but I don't want to annoy my neighbors and I assume with the type of system I would be using, that the best place for me would be in or near the LSSA zone....

My planned setup as of right now consists of:
Mid-Tops(12kHz-160Hz): 2x Custom vintage Bag End reflex mains
Kick Bass(160Hz-80Hz): 1x Selenium HB1805C1 Dual 18" folded horn
Sub Bass(80Hz-30Hz): 2x Hog 18" scoops
The scoops take around 1200w each, and the selenium bin takes roughly twice that. Sensitivity on all 18" drivers is right around 97dB (1w/1m). The mid-tops only take around 400w each.

What are the other people in the LSSA Zone running? Would my system be completely drowned out? How does this setup compare to some of the smaller and larger setups out there? I've been looking for an excuse to double my bass bins (4x hogs, 2x 1805's), would BM make this necessary? If anyone can provide me with ANY details on the systems that can be found in the LSSA Zone, I'd REALLLLLLY appreciate it.
