Wish me luck....

Some of you know that I've been hunting around for a new job.

Well I was flicking through a Live Sound magazine when I noticed an add for Phonic. They make Speakers, mixers, power amps, signal processors etc..... I noticed the importer is located down the road from my house.

I sent them an email saying "I know this is a long shot but are you looking for staff at the moment?". They called me the today. It turns out they are also the importers for Music Man / Ernie Ball / OLP, as well as Garrison acoustic guitars.

I've got a job interview with them tomorrow. I need your positive vibes - I really want this job.........

 

thanks everyone. I'm just putting the finishing touches on my resume now........

JT, I'm not exactly between jobs. The plan is to find a new one, then resign from my old one. I don't wanna be a number-cruncher any more. Instead I want a job with perks

 

I can do that even without the job. U pay for bits ans shipping, remembering that I'm 1000's of miles away.... It will probably cost more than walking into a shop and buying one.

OK I'm back from the interview. They seem like a nice group of people. Small company but very strong and likely to grow. We talked for just under an hour and it was all going well until they realised that I'm a qualified Accountant. The job is primarily sales but would also involve getting my hands dirty, unloading trucks and containers etc. I had to try and convince them, that this wasn't a problem. I mean I'm the guy who buys a plank of wood and turns it into a speaker cab - and enjoys it. Hopefully they will realise that I don't fit into the Accountant stereotype.

I guess they were always going to have to "create" a job for me, and that job is obviously going to have to fit in with their business agenda. They weren't going to be able to do that without meeting me first. They have indicated they need time to work it out and will get back to me.

I really want this job..........

 

nah. I've got the catalog and look through it religiously. Those drivers would work for home theatre or as a automotive sub, but are no good a bass cab. They're Hi-Fi drivers with a high QTS and low sensitivity. You notice how they offer 2 cab suggestions in the catalog, one sealed and one ported. That's because the QTS is so high it doesn't really suit either.

General rule is QTS below 0.4 is for a vented cab, the lower the better. All the Jaycar drivers are 0.39 or thereabouts. For a bass cab you need sensitivity of at least 96dB. These drivers are all high 80's or low 90's.
