26 Juni 2004 – twelfe and
a half inch speakers will be provided
|
|
The
famous 12,5 inch speakers had been taken from
original plagiats of General speaker systems. As they are 30 years old, they
all had been reconed and enforced to take 50 VA. This is 12 speakers for the
PA and 6 for the monitors. We wanna have fun on stage, you know? |

This is
certainly a fake. But a very original one. As well from VERMONA, using the
latest version of the 12 inch speakers. Basically a ready to cook soup. Which I
bought most recently for 15 € |

Well, as previously
stated, an ebay auction had been missed out, since
my daughter had just 2 handfull of sh.. in her trousers, as the
auction ended. And if you do not want to risk too much trouble with your
family, you have to set your priorities. This auction contained an 8 channel
expander module. However,
a second complete 16 channel mixer from Vermona had
been bought. After comparing both machines, we found out, the original one is
a studio version where you have as well outputs for all sub groups. Therefore,
a decision had been made and considered after a couple of beers and carried
out after a couple of more beers to slaughter the second mixer and make a 16
channel expander module out of it. The
advantage of East German technology is, everything
is a compatible modulare design. So if you open the
mixer, you have 3 main modules: the sum and subgroup master module and 2 8
channel mudules, connected by an internal bus,
which is also accessable over a multi-pin connector
from the outside. Clever beast, eh? Knowing
that, perhaps the ebay mixer incl. the expander
module would have found it´s final state as a 24
channel expander. I believer, out toner of the year, Dirk would hate us. As
he will anyway on his return from his holidays this weekend J |

long time no talk but big steps forward

Sorry, I
did not have time for an update. But here we go: 3 monitors are completely
finished. 50VA power each. 3 others (right front) just the speaker needs some
assembly to the woodworks. Ion the back left: still the 15 inch bass drivers.
Underneath the mixing desk. Behind the beer: 1 of 4 bass expo systems (4
finished, 2 of them need a bit of painting still), in top of that the
complete high frequency drivers. So it looks, as if the soundcheck
on |

21 –
Aug – 2004 Der Countdown to the soundcheck
in 1 weeks time |
|
|
|
|
|
A few
wires and a 2nd paint of the last remaining bass speaker. Everything else
seems to be ready for the soundcheck next week on
the: FSS (Fojtka Soloists Sound System) |
|
28 – Aug- 2004 Finished
|

Quote Pfütze: “I believe it could be possibly used.” In other
words: It sounds great. After first obstacles to begin with (the power supply
of the mixing desk died but had been replaced after stgripping
the thing down completely) the whole thing worked like hell. Power without
end and perfect sound. So we
obviously did something right. |
