They have a pretty flat response when on poles, which is good. I’d probably use them on short tripods behind me to maintain that, even for live use as the response will change if they are positioned like wedges. Try setting them on their ends if using them as wedges leads to boominess.I am thinking that for rehearsals I would stand it up as it has better dispersion so the rest of the band can hear me better and for live I'd use it as a wedge because the rest of the band will get my signal through their stage monitors.....
Without hearing the noise it’s hard to say, but XLR will be your best bet for low-noise. Set the Output level in the modeler to +4 dB. See Section 4 in the manual for more information.I started out making the connections with normal 1/4" cables and seemed to have some noise but after switching to xlr cables the noise was gone....has anyone else had that issue ?
The Headrush cabinets tend to be boomy in my experience.Are there any users of ZLX-12P with current fractal devices here? I use a pair with my FM3 now and as I see the thread “flattening the headrush curve” with some global PEQ settings found by enthusiasts I’d like to know if someone already found such settings for these units also. I don’t have any monitors at home to try and find out by myself.
Yes - mid price studio headphones with a Sonarworks reference 4 correction.Great, happy to see that you still prefer them. Are you using monitor headphones to compare the sound?
Greg, I think this is true for any cabinet - the sound is always affected by where it sits and what it is in contact with - for me, I can usually tweak to satisfaction using the front knobs on the Fractal- just tonestack adjustments. The nice thing about the EVs is they actually publish the frequency response - most other manufacturer’s don’t do that, so it’s more trial and error.The response will change if they are laid flat on a stage so try keeping them off the floor and away from a wall and they should sound great.
Be sure to EQ your presets at stage volume. A global EQ can help if they get too much low-end when on the floor.
It is true of all speakers, it’s just how physics works.Greg, I think this is true for any cabinet - the sound is always affected by where it sits and what it is in contact with - for me, I can usually tweak to satisfaction using the front knobs on the Fractal- just tonestack adjustments.
