Epifani ul410/ul410 or ul410/ul115

Hi Dominic,
I voted for neither. My suggestion would be two Schroeder 1212L's. They are light, small, and they kick some serious ass in the booty dept. I just used one 1212L at an outdoor event and it really sounded great, and I could feel the bottom.
Good luck!!!

 

OK, the first pic was taken just for show... I never fired up the 115/410 rig. But based on my opinion of the 115 soloed, the 115/410 will blow out birthday candles from 10 feet. (Perhaps a slight exaggeration... ) If you're totally serious about creating a mighty wind, that's probably the way to go.

OTOH, are you really sure you want to move that much air? I used the 210/410 stack at a large gig and it was plenty loud and deep!

 

I dig 15's. I would get one before i got a 4x10. Or maybe a 2x12. Gotta love 12's too.

 

...ya, I still have a soft spot for 15's

 

Budget permitting, id go with the Berg IP stuff.

 

I've got the Epifani UL310 with an EA iAMP350 and that's plenty loud for outdoor gigs with a 5 string. I wouldn't imagine you would need more than the 4x10".

But I would love to stand in front of an Epifani 410 + 115 rig if I had the cash...

 

I vote for 2x ul410's. They are capable of fantastic lows, while still being tight, punchy, and incredibley clear. But, as another option, what about one UL410 and one UL212?

 

2 410s side by side. btw, you're crazy

 

A ul410 is louder than a ul115 (rated 3db higher) and I expect, produces more low end punch. Seeing as those are the two main attributes you're after for outdoor gigs, get another ul410.

 

+1...I'd think the 1 410 would be plenty based on my own use of my UL/502/UL410 rig..BUT if I HAD to pick the UL115 or another cab, it would be a UL212 (I did not like the UL112)...you should be able to melt your face off at 20 feet with that rig!

Peace,

T

 

Currently I have a 410 and 310 UL Series I. I just a UL902C to use them with on big gigs. I have not tried it yet though.

I opted for a 310 to have available for smaller stuff. Together in the practice room it's incredibly loud with the vol just cracked. Like on ONE!

Other than that I would probably choose a UL212 to go along with the 410.

 

Along the lines of what Fuzzbass was saying, have you thought about a ul610? He's right about the ul410 + ul210 combo, I have the same rig with a ca9 and it goes seriously loud. With a ul610 you could bridge your crest into it and have a one cab solution. If you're feeling homicidal take the 410 and the 610.

Alternatively if you have some small gigs/rehearsals where a 210 would be handy you could do the same as Fuzz & me and go for the 210/410 rig. I find them ideal, 210 for tiny stages, 410 for anything else indoors, both outdoors (though I haven't run that in anger yet). And fwiw a series 2 210 sounds great tonally with a series 1 410.

 

Two 410UL's is a monsterous rig. If you're talking about playing outside gigs where volume and cut is necessary, I'd probably go with two 410's. a 410/115 would work also but I'd probably be partial to the wall of 10's.

A 410/212 is great too but the if you're looking for lows vs low mids the 115 is a better fit. The 212 goes low but the 115 sounds rounder/darker and gives the perception of lower lows.

All good choices though.

When the time is right, shoot me a PM. I'll make sure you get the TB price.

Hey Dean,

Now that you have the 902c, my suggestion would be to sell the 410Ul and get a second 310UL. Two 5.3 ohm 310UL's would, to me, be an amazing rig that would still be portable. It would obviously put out more sound than a single 410.

Two 410UL's... I can't even imagine, since I've never been able to push my single 410UL to its limits on even the loudest gigs I do. A 410UL/115UL doesn't make a lot of sense to me with the 902. You would optimally want two cabs with similar SPL, and also similar impedance. Assuming you are using a 4 ohm 410UL, and given that the 902 does not have a balance control and that the 115UL is both lower SPL and 8ohms, that doesn't make much sense to me.

If I needed more oomph than a single 41UL (again... can't imagine), I'd be all over two 310UL's.... and that seems almost the perfect match for the powerful 902c... you would be putting around 800 watts into each cab... which is just about perfect.

No, the 902 doesn't have a balance control or individual volume controls for the power amps.

 

Well.. I don't plan on using both the 310 and 410 that much.
I will most likely use the 410 most all the time and the 310 for smaller stuff. In my practice room they sound very good together although Ken's tips are good ones and valid. I don't know if I really want another 310 just now. Also true the 902c is limited as stated and seems to keep a lot of people from getting one specifically becaues of lacking the features mentioned. I loved the CA9 but definately don't want to lug one anymore. Maybe my 310/410 match is not a perfect one but I'm pretty sure it will do the trick.

So, dominic... you prefer one 410UL over two 310UL ????
Can you elablorate on this. I realize one cab is easier than two, but how was the loudness/throw/tone/cut differ ? I'm assuming the 410UL will have more cut but the stacked 310's should be louder and all around bigger ???
