Speaker height

Well you are still wrong. The Mackie is rated at 600 watts /channel into a 2 ohm load. You are only using 8 ohm speakers, the Mackie is rated at 300 watts a side into an 8 ohm load. The biggest screw up I saw in the other thread was running the signal from the Mackie into a channel on your Carvin. That is so wrong.

this is what i was talking about modulusman...lol its what i have dubbed the behringer syndrome...you market your product at the highest impedance level and/or at peak...for example the EP2000 amplifier, everyone seems to think that this is a 2000w amplifier, but totally wrong unless you are running a 2Ohm load (3-4 speaker cab) and bridged...really its power around 350w per channel....

i think that this kind of marketing from manufactuers is wrong, moreso its wrong of retailers to sell such products with such a delusion....

Hi Jeff,

Yes, the numbers are right there in the spec sheet. All I can do is ask for your forgiveness.

Thank you for your indulgence,

oh god, lead kick drum or "soundman's disease" i've always called it.

anyway, it's not about high-dollar vs. cheap, these days we can scrape together tops+subs PA systems pretty easily, and get a better sound for not really majorly different money.

I could, quite literally, sell-off everything in my FOH box and still not have enough for one of the newer-generation digital boards (...a la Presonus StudioLive). It's not cheap stuff, either...just greatly depreciated by virtue of newer technology available. As they used to say during the Depression: "use it up, wear it out, make it do."
