AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

Many loud. Very few weight.

On one cab no problem. I wouldn't stack it on 2 cabs. I have stacked the pope qsc rig behind on both as it's lighter. Although on mobile stages I have just put the head on my pedal case.

Mark, you didn't ask me, and I'm not gigging. But I can report that these stacks were rock solid. So stable that poking the head caused the whole stack to jiggle as one piece on the isolation pad's foam:

Thanks, both.

kittywithbanjo, what are your impressions of the Pope? I missed it in the background the first time.

after receiving my H1203 pair november last year just getting around to experimenting with them as sealed cabs. distinct difference. really nails the jamerson/babbit sound with a P bass & flats! just roll back the tone knob about 1/2 way. all i need now is a suitable piece of foam for the bridge. thanks, Duke.
edit: actually, looks like i roll it off 2/3 or even 3/4. just sayin'...

I was supremely impressed when trying out the 1863 how well it performed when sealed. Especially because the driver "aren't designed for sealed enclosures", or so most self proclaimed box design gurus would claim.

As one of those self-proclaimed guru's who would have claimed that the Faital 18HP1060 is not a "sealed box woofer", I am duly offended.

But as head of marketing for AudioKinesis, I wanna give you a hug!!

In sealed box mode, the Hathor 1863 is -3 dB at 82 Hz and -6 dB at about 62 Hz, then -10 dB at 41 Hz. So it's a slow, gentle rolloff (-7 dB per octave from 82 Hz down to 41 Hz), according to my modeling program.

Thanks for letting me know it worked well in sealed box mode. That's a potentially very useful data point.

Thanks... thanks a heap!

Have you tried one cab sealed and one cab ported? Just curious as to whether that sums to something that works well. Conventional wisdom says that's a no-no, but my modeling program says the phase difference between the two is arguably fairly benign in this case.

So I was looking at the rad in the classifieds would that unit be too much power for my 1203 and TC112..600 watts @ 8ohms. (I only use 1 cab 70% of the time) and no volume so would control via my v type pre amp..

Verellen just announced a 700 watt @ 4 ohm monoblock power amp, FWIW.

hi, Duke. yeah, thought about that. this evening i'm exploring the sealed cabs + switch position variations. trying to establish some kind of personal baseline settings. baby steps...
