  • I was dropping off some gear at the Rat shop after hours and thought maybe you'd like to join me for a walk through.
    Also I have started a CZcams membership area where I release videos early and post exclusive additional content for the huge price of $4.99 a month. An area where I can better interact with sound humans outside of the general public. Come join us if you are interested!

    Hey Dave, If I would be there I’ll be like a child in a toy store, I love that warehouse and all the stuff there…

    I particularly liked the tidy cable peg racking. Very easy to see all leads.

    What a lovely spot. For anybody wanting to know about pro audio... that's how you do it!
    Gonna give this a +10 for park your vehicle inside!
    Seriously, wishing you the very best of luck with the oncoming wuhan coronavirus lockdown... this is hell on wheels for companies involved in events in the UK.

    This makes me miss our old live sound company (X13 Sound Services) We closed over a year ago, we were nowhere near as big as you guys but it was fun. We were sponsored by Kustom but didn't use most of the equipment. I just used it to make some of my own prototypes. We used a lot of EV, Monster cables, B-52, Yamaha, and Presonus. We still have a ton of the old equipment and was thinking of doing a little walkthrough like this. Love your videos and it would be awesome to see more speaker videos like the ones in the past. I've been a speaker nut sense I was like 10. I would mess around with anything! Cheap stuff, good stuff, mid range stuff then finally got into the pro stuff.

      @@DaveRat Wow. thanks. I'll back off the verb on the vox. I've been a backline tech my whole life, and am just now getting my feet wet playing and recording. Very primitive system so far. My wife never played drums before the pandemic lockdown, and I just recently discovered I can sing and strum at the same time! We're having fun. Thanks for checking it out and the mix advice. Also thanks for all your videos, instructional and entertaining.

    Oh my gosh talk about monster warehouse .... this is a adults toy store and more .... Mr. Rat thank you for showing us your place .... I have tinker toys compared to you, my collection starts with (4) EAW MQ1364 mid high cabs (4) MQ1215 (2) EAW KF850zr triamped , and (18) JBL 4645C Subs.... I would love to grow my company as big as yours, but we got to start from somewhere.

    Nice, enjoyed the tour question have a bunch of old EAW KF 860s and an XTA DP 228 wonder the correct crossover points for the cabs, if you have these sure would help, trying to figure out how to operate the dp 228 any info on cabs or dp 228 would be much appreciated

    • @DaveRat
      @DaveRat  Před 4 lety

      If you look around on the eaw website I believe there are some downloadable graybox settings for various enclosures and or setup processor settings. For various cabinets I took some searching but I believe it's there somewhere

    • @stevencancel4061
      @stevencancel4061 Před 4 lety

      I wonder if the crossover points for the eaw kf 860 would be the same as a kf 850 as they have the same drivers only the box is like a double kf 850, sure you used these back in the day where did you crossover your kf 850s
      Thanks so much for the info

      Reconing by a qualified reputable recone place will bring things right back to original specs
