They test out at a great and close These drivers screw on to a horn. They are in super nice condition and have been ohm and audibly tested. This is an opportunity to get a very hard to come by pair of Cerwin Vega compression drivers. These beefy beasts sound and look great! I am the original owner. Fully insured FedEx Three way system 18" main MF40 mid and 90 x 40 horn. Will ship within 2 business days of cleared payment. Ideally, you'd pair it with a 15" or 18" front-loaded cab for maximum projection and low end. It's in great shape and has a bright, punchy sound. Facing to the rear, allowing it to"push more air" than a typical front-loaded design. This one was probably made around The cab is loaded with one Cerwin Vega 12" driver. During that time he began manufacturing his own line of speaker cabinets, and eventually expanded into outdoor audio systems. Tom Mitchell owned Mitchell Music in Riverside.ĬA from the s to s. Very hard to find these kinds of cabs anymore. Please review all attached photos and be sure to ask any questions. This way I don't have to wory about changing thresholds with different amp sensitivity.Order by. I prefer to utilize the amp's limiters for simple set-ups, especially where configs are changing a lot. I suspect it would be better to limit on the incomming signal anyway. I don't think that either of these has an internal limiter other than the clip limiter. Since it is summer, we have several outside gigs mixed in with different club gigs. We play in many different settings though. Ark connection timeout when joining server You don't really need loudspeaker management in a studio, do ya? I biamp. And now they've released the "studio" DriveRack. I have repaired several speakers that have been trashed due to a programming mistake. They are not as easy to operate on the fly Best used in a controlled setting rather than on the fly unless you are very experienced and comfortable with how the parameters relate to the real world. Do you really need a feed-back eliminator I do not care for them generally. I generally do my best to set things up myself at the beginning of the show and then it is left alone ie channel eq's, main eq, feedback, main levels, crossover output levels. He is just someone to keep the levels on the sliders right on different songs. We usually have a soundman, but not a real soundman. I am getting GAS again, and this caught my eye. That's why I am wary about buying used drivers without reconong myself to be sure I'm getting what I pay for.What do you guys think of the Driverack? It appears to have all of these things and the equivelent of a sonic maximizer as well. it's probably the most common failure mode with modern speakers being driven hard. No real way to determine no.s 1 & 3 unfortunately.Īlso, Mark's comments about the suspension going all floppy is a very comment. There are shorted turns on the low reading driver.
If you are measuring in the cabinet, you may have a bad terminal connection or vastly undersized lead-in wire/cab wiring or there's a choke in series w/ 1 box and not the other.ģ. One was reconed with different parts and the other is stock, or two different recone kits were used.Ģ. What bothers me is the difference between the two. Same applies to the 5.6 ohm resulting with the other driver. 3 ohms typical error on DMM low ohms readings is 7 ohms which is within the range. So I figure thats close enough.ħ.3 ohms less about. One of them was reading about 7.3 and the other was about 5.9. I'm just passing on some personal experience that might relate to your situation (and suggesting that 500w might be a little stiff for those drivers. but rather replaced them with some more substancial drivers.Īnyway. Point is: The 400 watt amp didn't blow up the drivers, but it did wear them out in short order. and the cones were basically disintigrating. The voice coils were still fairly bright and hadn't been over heated, but the spiders and surrounds were floppy as a wet noodle. I diagnosed the problem as the drivers being completely worn out. The performance was somewhat improved however, a few shows later "we" noticed the subs were starting to sound a little funky. A few years ago I jazzed up the amp rack and stepped up to a 400 watt stereo 8 ohm amp. I ran these 918 cabinets for years (decade +) with a 200 watt stereo 8 ohm amp. I had/have a pair of ancient Sunn 918 cabinets which I believe had the same CV drivers in them that you have.
