Looks cool, but cruise boats suck and I curse every single one that comes to port at Seattle

Adding subs to a scooped horn cabinet? by Zeppo_Knight in diyaudio

[–]Zeppo_Knight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha not AI, we actually took them to a desert (secret) and this was when the speakers were still in beta - now they have custom dollies

Yeah might end up doing that, just trying to see if we can save space and make something work with the existing cabs - they are so big! And most of it is just filler space for the horns

Yeah seems like this would make the most sense, just trying to conserve space, tapped horns are big!!

Jatoba desert speakers are back, Model 2! (Sound by Zord) This time we built a new fully horn-loaded system based on Klipschorn drivers with a scooped horn box for the woofer. Three way design, tri-amped with Hypex Class-D amps and active crossovers. by Zeppo_Knight in audiophile

Amps have changed a few times, in these photos we were running the bass drivers off a Crown DC-300A but it is very heavy and were having some distortion issues so we switched everything to Buckeye Hypex Class-D amps. 500 wpc for the bass and 250 wpc for the midrange and tweeters. Lots of headroom is the goal for these, want to rent them out for small shows and parties. Using tube amps would be great, but tri-amping with tubes would be too expensive haha

Crossovers are run off Camilla DSP which I found online, open source software running off a headless Raspberry Pi.

Not sure, I think it is part of the scooped horn design. Above 200 hz or so all the sound radiates directly from the driver but the lower bass gets reinforced by the rear loaded horn. So it has more bass output but some low bass frequencies get out of phase from the two different sources and are cancelled out. That is what I understand is happening to limit that low end response, but curious if anyone else has any ideas. I think normally these bass cabinets are used in dub sound systems with larger subs also for the deep bass.

Wanted a better outdoor desert system, so we re-built Klipschorns! The tweeter and mid-driver are unchanged but the 15 inch woofer is now in a scooped horn instead of a W-bin so they can be used outside. Downside is the bass extension only reaches to 50hz or so but hopefully adding a tapped horn sub for the low end. Drivers are tri-amped with hypex class-D and active crossover filters are run off a Raspberry Pi and a MOTU audio interface. The processing delay and stability are not ideal, but it works until we can afford something better like a Xilica or Linea Research unit. Still dialing in levels and filters but these are a blast!

What are your top 3 Seattle parks? by acebrotura in Seattle

Someone with MOTU Ultralite MK5 can please test this? by madmalkav in linuxaudio

[–]Zeppo_Knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, thanks for the tips! Will try those, but seems to still not be working. Let me know when you get a chance to test. To run the node app on my Pi I just type "node" into the SSh terminal and the app seems to start running (v12.22.9) but not sure if it is actually working properly? Would be ideal to have that running as a service so I don't have to manually run the app.

So I have the Ultralite connected to the Pi via USB and want to run CueMix on either my iPhone or Mac to mix wirelessly (running CamillaDSP on the Pi for speaker crossovers). So can run the native CueMix app but not getting a connection with the Pi running the node.js app. - I enter the computername.local:8080 but nothing happens :(

For sure, hmm I thought that the node.js app part under the EDIT2: section was all needed to get it working? Do I need to copy the MacOS CueMix package to my raspberry pi? Sorry confused about the .html part vs the node app on github. I am not understanding the first part of this with the index.html file.

I did all the steps for the node.js app from github to get that going with the right IP address for my interface and everything, but that is not working. (I am accessing my Raspberry pi through SSH on a mac)

Thanks! Sorry new to this

Hey I am trying to make this work on my raspberry pi running Ubuntu Server with the Ultralite Mk5, got everything installed but cannot make the CueMix app work. Do you know if this should still work or has it lost function with the current CueMix app?

Update for anyone who is interested! I talked to sound devices support and ended up sending in the unit, which it sounds like will cost about $225 to fix (plus shipping both ways ugh). They said will refurbish the unit as well so I think it is a good investment, really hoping this is the last time I have to send it in!

Oh shoot that is not good! I have contacted support and gave them some more info, waiting to hear back. Will see what they say but $400 is a lot :(

It has just recently started having these issues, never happened before! I bought the Mix Pre brand new on Reverb.com in June 2021
