Cab for tough room

[mattjbass]

Playing a brewery tomorrow with terrible acoustics. High ceilings concrete floors . So only so much we can do with what is. So do you think I’d have better luck with, my pair of Ampeg svt210av’s or trusty Genz Benz 212neox? I’m running a TC electronics BH550 head. Thanks again

I dunno, I don't think the choice of cab is going to make much of a difference in that room.

I'd take whatever you didn't use at the last gig just to bring something different to this gig.

The important thing here I think is going to be taking all the sub frequencies out with your equalizer.

 

[Scott Shaw]

Point the cab to your ears so you can get as much direct sound as possible.

I play plenty of winery/brewery gigs and the best thing I've found is keeping the volume down. A big ask for some drummers and some guitarists , but it's the only way.

The dual 210's are your best bet so you can hear yourself. Don't be afraid to lower the frequencies below 150hz or wherever the subwoofer crossover is at. Are you going into the PA? Sound person at this event?

Bring both 210s and stack them vertically behind you, but only use the top one, cut bass, and get and HPF if it's not too late.....

 

[mattjbass]

Thanks for the replies..
I’m going to give the pair of 210’s a try. Yes probably going into the PA , but one us is going to run sound probably the guitar player.

I don't think the most important questions have been asked..... WHICH BREWERY?! And is the beer free?!?!

 

[mattjbass]

It’s called Brewery Legitimus in New Hartford CT. I think the band gets a couple freebies. Thanks

Always nice when a room like that comes with a sound person. Then it’s just turn over the controls and play pretty much.

Yes, except that everyone still has to obey the sound person when he or she tells them to turn way down.

The 210s probably do have less low end response. Although, so does turning your bass down.

When you have a tough room say this, “I just flew in from NY. Boy are my arms tired.”

Dual 210s. The height will help you hear a lower volumes. The sealed cabs will be more of a low-mid focus rather than sub lows. Sub lows would get super muddy fast in a room like that.

When you have a tough room say this, “I just flew in from NY. Boy are my arms tired.”

“What is this? An audience or an oil painting?”

 

[micguy]

Yes, except that everyone still has to obey the sound person when he or she tells them to turn way down.

Well, you always have the choice of working with a good sound person, trying to make what you play pleasant for the audience, or forgoing (or ignoring) the sound person, and driving the audience out of the room because everyone wants to be louder than everyone else.

Your call

Really tough room?

This. HPFs are a great solution for most issues.

No cab, DI to house with alittle bass on your wedge or ears.
