GK Neo 410.......I hate it

[ThisBass]

I've done both vertical one dimensional and two dimensional 410s. In the post to which you are replying, I assumed the two dimensional array. In this discussion that is implicit because the GK Neo 410 is in the title of the thread.

congratulation

 

[ThisBass]

Thank you.

gladly

It's approved TB wisdom that mixing of 10"s with 15*s cause indisdinct boomy sound that can't be EQ'd

Or not as the individual cabinet by cabinet case may be, dependant on many other factors like PA Di reinforcement and relative position, microphone's, microphone spill and the proximity of reflective walls etc.
There is no right and wrong to it, it's not that simple.

Can we PLEASE not turn this into a driver matching thread? Please?

 

[mmbongo]

So how does the Neo 410 compare to the MBE410?

Sure, absolutely true, totally agree, unfortunatelly way to often random bass players try to interpret half-truth physics as high degree (university) knowledgement

Turn down the bass a bit and turn up the mids a bit.

I don't get where you thought i was using a 410/115. This thread derailed for reasons not even in the original post.

 

[cfsporn]

speaker size tells nothin but speaker size
come on guys, what's the problem?

The fact that this has NOTHING with speaker size. It has to do with a cab that has a very extended bass response.

 

[Remus_Redbone]

I've had the exact same experience, but not with the GK NEO 410. My mud mixer is the Ampeg SVT 410 HLF. I liked it for a while, then I played through an old vertically oriented 2x15 cab for a while, and I can't go back to the 410 world.... Be it the speaker size or configuration, I do not know, but the 215 thing sounds better in more venues than I can get out of the 410s I've tried.

 

[Humbled]

I really like my GK 412 NEO.

FWIW.

 

[Humbled]

IME, a cab sounds good or it doesn't. Generalizing is not often useful. Some of the process of getting there for a manufacturer is certainly good science and design, but a still-fairly-significant portion of it is a bit of a crap-shoot, IMHO.

 

[Eidolon0274]

Yep, 410 is very flat sounding and bass heavy (which it does extremely well if that's what you like)

I had a neo 212, got the 410 and went back to the 212 a week later. The 212 can't handle near the amount of 100hz and below that the 410 can, but it's overall an incredible sounding mid forward cab that has great high frequency extension, and is more balanced than the 410.

I stacked the 410 and 212 under my 700RB for a couple of days and it was incredible.

 

[kleinenenten]

I'll take it off your hands!

Really, though, I boost mids on bass AND amp to get my tone, so that may be why I have no problems. I like the bass response, and want mids and sparing highs, so this cab is perfect for me. Good luck finding what works for you!

 

[Robb Fesig]

I'm using a GK 410 as the low end cab in my bi-amp setup, with a 115 + horn for mid and highs. Opposite of what you would think, because the 410 is tuned a lot lower than the 115. Off axis highs are pretty good as well using a 15" driver.

 

[Matthew_84]

I have a GK 410MBE and it was boomy as hell, but there was no lining inside the cab, so I stuffed it with a bunch of pillow stuffing and it tightened it right up...

I'm not sure if your cab is lined or not, but I think they're of a similar design so it may be worth a look.

 

[Daniel Piper]

The Neo series cabs aren't lined iirc.

 

[basslyon]

Fender neo 4x10 is so much better

 

[rodl2005]

+1 the Fender neo 410 is a nice cab. But if you've got a good price on a GB UBER 410 that'll be a beauty too. But heavier.

 

[B-string]

I always warn people that the NEO410 is bass heavy, most can turn knobs and balance it out. That also requires stepping away from the cab, setting the cab on a stand or angling the cab back so all the mids and highs the audience is hearing is not just hitting your ankles and knees. I have never been a fan of any four squared speaker arrangement from any manufacturer (unless it is a guitar cab so I can hear as much of them from the sides ).
