Soldato
I was stuck in Newquay over the Run To The Sun weekend, still working on my mates club. His club is the back of another club, we've partitioned off the ajoining doorways and filled it out with some soundproofing. It wasn't enough
RTTS 2006, my how i enjoyed it
The club nextdoor had a rave weekend, friday, saturday & sunday. They hired in a 'bit' of extra bass. OK, more than a 'bit', absolutely fracking pooploads.
Roughly 3 times the size of their existing soundsystem. I put my head around the door in the afternoon while they were unloading. I counted 6 x 2x15, 6 x 2x18, 2 x 1x21 boxes with 4 mid/top cabinets thrown in for good measure. Along with a bigass pile of amps to run it all. Anybody who has dealt with Opus Audio Developements kit will have an idea where this is going.
They warmed it up at about 8pm, then ran it up to full power.

It hurt. Seriously. I've worked in clubs for 13 years and have never felt anything like it. It was enough to move things on the worktops in the club i was working in. I was enough to lift the plaster/saw dust around the club and make it nearly impossible to work. I couldn't concentrate to wire a plug let alone fit lights. The other guy who had been living on site had to go home as he couldn't breathe. I've got a couple of snaps on my phone but i need to find my cables to download them.
I thought i'd play them at their own game and ran up the system (2.5kW)where i was, i banged out the regulation Queens Greatest Hits as loud as i could. And couldn't hear it over the system nextdoor
Oh well, may as well wait until they finish and then get some kip. Except the rave didn't finish until 4am each night. Joy.
I love RTTS, honest.
