    How do large scale concerts deal with latency?

    The size of the stage makes no difference. Main obstacles are RF pollution, antenna signal loss. There are dedicated software to deal with the RF issue. And pro rigs use specialized antennae (paddle or helical) which are powered, as well as massive antenna cable. 1/2 inch diameter. That’s what...

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    PS: I might trust @WKSmith’s crossover more than Celestion’s. My ears pick out crap crossovers fairly quickly, especially when there’s phase misalignment. Can’t wait to try V2. But no complaints yet on the FR10.

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I’m a big fan of the coaxial design. My main rig on stage Includes D&B Max12 wedges. They sound amazing. But what I love about the FR10 is the not-FR aspect. It resonates like a cab. Let me be a little long-winded. I hate JBLs Eon. Not because the...

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    I just played my first gig with the FR 10. It’s already a pro unit. And I did not miss the coaxial factor. Yet I am still waiting with bated breath for the V2. Anyhow. The FR 10 performed admirably. Plenty loud even if I was right next to the loud drummer. What a winner!

    If you have the III, borrow a good mic from a friend or local studio and shoot tone matches of the piezo/mic sound to make an IR. Use the mic as reference and piezo as local source and you’ll be amazed at the results. A little smoothing and you’re golden!

    Sorry to hear that. I think you don’t have the fixed version. Mine (FR10) is whisper quiet. Meaning I had to shove my ear against the grille next to the tweeter to hear the faintest noise from the amp.
