Are those of you that use the Auralex, are you using the GRAMMA or GreatGRAMMA? The GRAMMA size looks a little shallow as the NU cabs are a shade over 15" deep and 16.5" wide.

I had a GRAMMA and then got the GreatGRAMMA when I first got the BA cabs. I also use it for my NC 212 when I necessary.

I have the Great. Here's what I do with the 410 cab…due to its footprint it would be a little bit of a balancing act to get it fully on top of the pad. What I do is to hook the back feet just over the edge of the pad and have the front feet set on the pad. So you are still 'fully' on the pad but it also gives the cab a slight angle up towards the ears. Works for me.
 
Yeah, it's a very cool bass to be sure. I almost sold it a few weeks ago but better judgement prevailed in the form of my wife (what?) telling me that the fact I wasn't sure I wanted to sell it meant I needed to keep it!

As for the gig, I had a HELL of a time getting a decent tone in the room. There wasn't a single piece of anything to deaden the sound and from where I stood (about 5 feet in front of the rig) it sounded awful. Walking out into the room and it sounded a little better but man, some notes were way too loud, others almost inaudible. I wound up putting a sweatshirt under the 15 and I think it helped a bit. The floor was hard, no elevation and solid. Would something like the studio isolation foam helped dramatically? Do you all carry it to gigs? What else should I have to be better prepared for places like this?

Something like this?

Isn't it amazing how virtually every gig winds up getting things put into my Amazon shopping cart???

I use the smaller iteration of the BA cabs - a 12-3 plus a 10-2 - and never place them on the floor. Using just one cab or both, I always place them on a 12 inch high folding step stool. That gets them closer to my ears and helps to avoid any issues with the floor.

I've owned the NC212t cab and though it's a great cab, I found it a bit smooth for me. I'm assuming that it uses the faital pro 12fe300 drivers which, based on the frequency graphs makes sense. The clips I've head of the nc210t seem to match up with the 10fe300 drivers as well. Does anyone know which driver is being used in the NC115t cab? There doesn't to be a 15" fe series driver. A 15FH530 maybe?

I asked on the Genzler Facebook page and was told the NC-115T has a custom woofer made by LaVoce.

I ordered the 'regular' GRAMMA - it seemed the 15" wide footprint would work based on where the feet are on the NC212 but I guess I'll find out when I get it on Wednesday.

I have both sizes, and the regular GRAMMA should work just fine with your NC212.
