I only saw good reviews of this pedal, but just tried it out and definitely notice the auto-gain issue, the volume keeps going down... I can work with that as it's a recording, but imagine live is a big issue. and I also have a bit of noise/hissing sound, not sure if that's also from it or the interface because I just got a new audio interface as my old one broke
I am involved in advising our church in what company to use. I have done warranty repair on several brands. I knew that Yamaha is an interesting company, their speakers are made in Thailand, and India. Most of the other brands speakers are made in China, and Mexico. I did listen to your reply to advise about RCF vs Yamaha. You did a very good dialogue, My leaning is toward Yamaha. When I worked at a high-end audio store in the 70's I was privileged to fly to Chicago, and attend training with Yamaha consumer electronics. I received a pair of Yamaha cuff-links as a present.
Because players drop thousands on taylors-but leave in the 'crap' ES pickup systems; tear it out. While I use Taylor 6/12 string guitars faithfully; no amount of 'selling' will convince me that the ES system is worthy of anything, except tearing out of the guitar-and putting in a Fishman Prefix or Blender. Oh, you get the 'quacking sound' with the cheap ES system on their 12 strings. Taylor pickups suck on their 12 strings. Drop a Fishman Prefix Pro or Blender into it. Taylor stopped selling their guitars with 'Fishman systems', to cut costs and sell more guitars. The six's are barely tolerable with their ES pickups-but their 12 strings sound like garbage. Don't let ANYONE, including Taylor tell you otherwise. Doubt me? Go find an early 2000's Taylor 12(And six,)-and plug it into a p.a. system. (Not a guitar amp.) My 2004 855 sounds amazing, so why have a cheap, 'it'll do' pickup in it...Taylor sold out with the public; by dumping the Fishman systems, and pushing these horrible-sounding ES toys.
Friend of mine bought d&b rig for over $200k and d&b was saying that they have less then 1% failure products of a factory) He got 4 D80 amps and 2 of them just froze in a couple of weeks) They fixed them on a warranty. So your luck is just fine))
Hey do you know if the xlf series has a hpf somewhere, i just got the dxs15xlf thinking it has one (to use with speakers without a hpf) and can find it in the dsp for the outputs! thanks in advance.
We got 2 for our curch, they lasted about 5 months, then the same issue happend , we sent them in and 1 month after we repaired them , they packed up again
Should I run my single 18 inch sub woofers out of my A15-in Yamaha’s or should I run the 15 inch Yamahas out of the subwoofers or does it make a difference ? , thank you, Lamar
Hello. Could you help me decide? Currently I have a Yamaha stagepas 400bt + JBL eon 618S. I don't really like the sound when I connect it to the subwoofer output on the stagepas control panel. The bass of the jbl eon 618s sounds sluggish (to my ears), as if something is missing (perhaps a kick...) I would like a more lively, fast and sharp bass. Now it is possible to replace the eon 618s with dxs12 mk2 In short, in your opinion, yes or no?
The tough thing about the sub out on a stagepas is that I think it auto crosses over at 120 Hz (check manual to confirm) which I think is a little high. I typically prefer a lower crossover point which usually gives a tighter bass response. I don't know if changing the sub will do much towards fixing the sound. You could manually set your sub crossover at 80 Hz and see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't then it might be the sub and switching subs might make a difference. But if it ends up sounding better than it's just the default crossover point of the stagepas system that is the issue.
I think both of your presuppositions may be true. I think things do suck more than they used to in terms of quality, and compared to the rest of us, you have crappy luck. Sorry about that.
I'll tell you what though. I bought replacement zipper tabs on Amazon and they are awesome! I forgot I had a few other things that were missing zipper tabs and now I've just been a zipper tab replacing fool 🤣 BTW even though the zipper tab was questionable the speakers are awesome! I'll be doing a review on them soon.
I used mine on quite a few outdoor shows. The narrower horizontal coverage pattern and horn loaded mid-range driver produce more throw than your standard speaker would.
I currently have a Mackie srm150 and two of the ProFX12v3s. I also won a pair of their over-the-ear headphones in an Instagram giveaway. I'm actually a huge fan of the ProFX series of mixers and I really do like my little srm150. I've also always wanted to buy one of their dlm systems. It's something about that cube speaker with a coaxial driver. Maybe it's because I used to own a Honda Element and like boxy things 🤣
@@jahvin4951 I have not tried any of the V-Class series. I don't buy a whole lot of Mackie products. I mostly stick to their mixers and occasionally try out their speakers.
Question? I'm strongly considering two of these for wedding gigs. Possibly with an xtra sub if necessary. Love the look, weight, 2 will fit in a small SUV no issue, 90% sound array compared to up to 120% for competition. The ladder larger array size concerns me for wireless or lapel feedback when running two as left/ right channel respectively. Any thoughts? Mackie still doesn't take the sub bag seriously???? 😂😂 they never have! I used to run the SRM450 tops with the big subs from the series in early 2000's. Tops bag was bulletproof, sub bag was as helpful as one ply 😅 Love the honest review! follow up would have been awesome.🖖🤙✌
I have two of the Mackie ProFX12V3 and one of the Yamaha MG12XU. I like them both equally but Mackie sells a nice fitted case whereas Yamaha doesn't so I have a bulky gator case for that mixer.
There are several Taylors, which can be ordered without a pickup. They really are some of the best playing acoustics there are. It's a shame their reputation has been shaped by a $200 piece of electronic, which btw, is hugely misunderstood on its own. Acoustically (unplugged), subjectively, they're beautiful. Buy one without a pickup, and install what you want. You have to do the same thing with most D18's, and many people end up replacing the factory LR Baggs that comes with J45's 🤷. I currently own two J45's and a Taylor 517. As much as I love my Gibsons (more than my Taylor), the Taylor is just a work of art. It plays better, it's more versatile, and the fit and finish is on a higher level.... That's kind of why I like my Gibsons more. It's like the difference in driving muscle cars from the 60's and a new BMW. I have to drive the Gibsons, the Taylor drives me.
I think if I was primarily doing music I would have went with the 112's as well. I do mostly corporate speech these days so I'm pretty happy with the 108's.
Since I bought mine for mostly corporate events and just do light background music I bought a pair of KS112's to use with them. I may eventually use larger subs with them once I get a few more boxes and can hang a larger array but for now I'm just ground stacking with 12" subs. Currently I have 4 LA108's but I'm just about to pull the trigger on two more so I have 6. I'd eventually like to have 8 so I have two for front fills as well.
To boost mid range, turn the knob to “Club” and lower the bass on each channel all the way, and adjust it up as needed. The sound fills the room better.
Hi Brian, i have few concerns with this. 1) Can I use hardware compressors or other outboard gears in anyway with this. 2) Can I play a minus one track via bluetooth or USB and record the band as well at the same time with all the tracks using multi track recording feature? 3) What are the other important limitations that this mixer has.. and is there any other gear that replaces this at this price point?
During Covid I got rid of my shop and brought my business home. This caused me to do some downsizing gear wise and as such I decided to focus more on corporate audio over band sound. So I didn't need a large ground stack sound system anymore. They are great subs and I would recommend them. But I just don't need them for what I'm currently doing sound wise.
Hi, thanks for the great vids! would be great to hear your views on the JBL eon1 mk2 against the EV Everse 12 and EV 8., in terms of best sound and quality components etc. Thought this was the JBL mk2 when I first saw it...damn!!..its not!!!.....lol
How do you feel about the DXR MKII series vs. the MK1s? I'm debating between DXR12 MKII or DZR10 to go over my DXS12 MKII subs... Also might be getting some Presonus Air tops to test shortly. 6 year warranty and the 12s/15s look sweet for the price.
The RCF active tops are phenomenal. Not a fan of the column systems though, either. I've got some some older entry level Art 3 cabs 310As, 312A, 315A and they do honestly sound a little better than my Yamaha DXR cabs (and I love my DXRs) If I compare my newer (2022) DHR10 cabs to my 10 year old Art 310As MK1, the RCF have both more output and sound better overall. They are uglier, and if ever they break and I need parts, I'm f_cked, but the MK1 310As are some of the loudest little cabs I've owned. Rated at 127DB, but with a 2.5'' VC neodymium woofer (600 watt program), RCF cheaped out when they released the MK2, 3, 4... Standard ferrite magnets and 2'' voice coils. I'm keeping my MK1s until they die... Still waiting to review DZR10s or 12s, but backorderded since 2020 it seems, here in Canada anyway.
I'd really like to know how these perform with live instrumentation, particularly kick drum. Considering downsizing from my 18" JBLs to create more space in the van, but not at the expense of that chest thumping kick I can currently provide for 200-300 person events.
Hey great video I use the mixer for a similar situation like hybrid zoom meetings and confer and I have my mixer all set up but I ran into an issue where audio from the USB starts making a static hissing sound for about 3 min and goes away. It’s super distracting and i get all eyes on me to fix the situation. Any tips P.s all my cables are in securely but it sounds like a connection issue but I have no idea.
Hi , in terms of spl ,yamaha dbr12 has good number of it.. i want to have it to use in mid size venue about 100-120 people.. without sub.. can dbr12 handle it? I would change to lighter set up.. i have rcf evox j8 (128spl).i would like to downgrade in terms of weight. Thanks in advance
It seems to work out all right for me. Take a pair of Electro-Voice ELX200-12p speakers. Rental price on those are $40 per speaker. $80 for the pair. Plus $10 for the stands is a $90 rental. Some things vary though. I do projectors at 10% of map because they have bulbs that can burn out. Hazers cost more as well because they have consumable fluid. Also keep in mind these are just pick up and drop off prices. If someone wants me to come out and set it up and tear it down that's extra.
I have a buddy that purchased the 8-in version of the G2 ZLX series. I have had a chance to listen to it and well I think the G2 series sounds good. Sound quality has never been my main issue with the ZLX series. It has been output. They just seem to limit a little too fast. It just doesn't quite get loud enough and the new 12-in version of the ZLX G2 still has a maximum output of 127 dB whereas the 12-In version of the ElX 200 series has a maximum output of 130 dB. Those extra 3 dB seem to make a big difference. So personally, I will still be sticking with the elx series. I have received numerous complaints from rental customers in the past about the ZLX series not being loud enough and I have not received a single complaint about the elx series being loud enough.
