No sorry, I know about those systems, they are not intended for quality. although with enough equipment and money put in you can obtain it how ever, getting to that level, you might as well directly wire it.

This isn't a cheap ass announcement system and tinny music playing in the noise..

What does it matter any way? When you work in a place that makes Thousands/Millions of FT of wire everyday.

The sound shack has 4 1200W RMS stereo amps that get bridged and it has a basic PA crap system which is a high voltage system with matching xfomers.. and that sounds like total s*it!

The 1200 Watt units how ever are sweat sounding audio.. This last summer I spent the day pulling out the speakers, setting them up, and blasting our grounds area in the back of the facility with hard rock for a couple of hours until the security guard come down and shouted in my ear to get my attention!. I guess I was disturbing the business next door. Guard didn't mind though, he was kind of shocked that even listen to that type of music.

We also use a HV system in the facility for a public address system that is coming off an old 2500 watt tube amp that is just about on it's last leg! It has a nice set of tubes in it how ever. 6 3-500ZG in a push pull config, etc.. The parts unit is running out of parts!

When the day comes for retirement of that unit, the (new) spare tubes will be sprouting wings.

Ha, guess I slipped on that one!

That's what you get for not paying attention to the spell check!

TOTAL relevance to what I actually replied to, if you bothered to read it.

Thanks, but he obviously wasn't being sarcastic! :-)

MrT.

Seems you are the expert there at least!

Well, then I would pipe POWER to each location, and send the signal digitally and digitally cross it over to a tri amp set-up pumping the 18" with about 1500W and the rest according to their capacities on the other two amps.

At each station.

Sound better, from my hat now?

It would not have registered an error without a grammar algo going as well.

Have you ever considred using speakers next to that amp, and plastic or copper pipes to pipe the sound to big horns?

;-) just an idea...

Na, it uses tobes, is no good.

You are correct about that. I picked up on you, real fast.

tobes? you mean tubes?

The internal public address system uses tubes. The outdoor event equipment is solid state, of course.

Just what is the part number of this miracle capacitance cable? I may = want=20 to use it for high energy density capacitors. Or maybe crossovers.
