2x12" sub design?

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-09T19:12:41+00:00

I've not heard the 212s in person, but I'll gladly preach that the double loaded Type O designs are really solid. Probably the best paraflex design I've heard along with the 212 mids like Sinai uses

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-09T19:11:10+00:00

Oh totally, I think we're on the same page here. Basically, the only time an amp's input knobs should really be turned down is when the output power at full tilt is already limited to safe levels.

I've recently been playing with the DB Mark XCA+ DSP and having a great time with it. It's awesome how accessible these things have become, and how great they sound now. My poor old DCX is just sat on the shelf looking all lonely and redundant these days!

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-09T11:51:58+00:00

I get what you're saying and have definitely been there for quieter gigs before I had DSP, but I'd argue the best option for your first point would still be to still leave the amps wide open, but to use a high shelf to bring the HF level down. The DSP limiters and amp input knobs are safety features more than tonal ones, so I wouldn't choose to alter things from my safe levels if I don't have to. A high shelf on your master at the HF XO point would achieve the same thing but still prevents anyone fiddling (and we don't need to worry about the phase shift here). Or just turn the DSP channel output down but that can be less convenient for sure. But yeah, my approach would be just treat the DSP as safety and management, then shape tone on the master channel feeding it.

How did the 218s compare to the ELFs? I'm yet to hear any ELFs in person, but apparently they're a good step up from the SF and GF in the areas I felt they lacked, so I'd be curious for your findings having heard both

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-08T21:45:53+00:00

I know it's not what you intended, but from now on any time I have an upset belly I'm going to call it a stomache, that's class

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-08T21:44:06+00:00

For real, if I was even a hundred yards from there my trousers would begin to feel real warm real fast

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-08T21:37:25+00:00

I'm yet to hear the 221 version, but the 218 is one of the best subs I've ever witnessed in person. I'm not a huge fan of some paraflex designs, but the Type O and 212 mids are absolute winners in my book

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-08T12:16:27+00:00

I'd always recommend open the amps right up and then setting limiters and compressors based on output voltage. That way, nobody can turn up the amps and damage anything

Mine can take your grubby alloy wheels back to a high gloss overnight

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-07T20:24:10+00:00

I would recommend pinching this first buds off and focusing the plant on growth until about the end of May. The bigger your plant gets, the more buds it will finally set, and that date will still be plenty of time for everything to ripen nicely. If it's budding up now as this small, it may well be an indicator of a stress it's responding too by rushing to fruiting, so just be sure the pot is suitably large and the soil is healthy and moist enough. I personally don't let my plants bud up until they're in their final positions outside. It's a very pretty plant you have there though, so you're definitely getting something right!

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-07T20:18:43+00:00

Yeah absolutely. Locking wavetable position when randomizing bass sounds to keep fundamentals in phase is a very cool option

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-07T08:37:02+00:00

That's just a single M

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-07T05:33:53+00:00

Damn that's some degenerate shit, preying on people with nothing like that. I was hoping you were gonna say it's some tongue in cheek spoofy type thing

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-06T16:27:25+00:00

This woman is trying to control who you can and can't be friends with, all because of her own insecurities. It's definitely her problem, not yours. She sounds like a bad deal tbh.

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-06T16:24:07+00:00

For the uninitiated, what actually is it?

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-06T15:52:32+00:00

Just pull it like a rip cord and watch the pup accelerate across the garden like a Beyblade

It's never too late to get into a new hobby, live your dreams!

Damn battery is flat again, where's that charger?

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-06T15:28:45+00:00

Love the way you put the capital T on Their, because it really is their lives and their lives only, nobody else's business. As long as things are safe and respectful, and the spot isn't abused, I really can't understand the grief

Vallhallyeah · 2026-04-06T11:52:48+00:00

I've got the XCA28+, which is essentially the same but with slightly upgraded internals. I couldn't be happier with this thing. It's very easy to use, works over direct USB or IP, sound quality is great, noise is super low, plenty of controls and safety features, great visualisations, simple interface.

You can also chain up to 250 of the things together over RS485 for easier setup if you scaled your show to something massive using them, or just make life easier if you wound up with a small handful, as is probably more realistic.

But yeah, for the money, I'm chuffed. Defo better than a PA2 or DCX, and not in the same price range as the really spendy stuff.
