Greeting all, a general question.
I picked up from ebay a set of speakers out of a cinema, horns and compression drivers are JBL 2446/2380a woofers are kix (beymas - very similar to 2225's).
I am running a beherenger 2310 crossover, a 300b amp for top end a el34 amp for bass cabinets. Am also playing with some beymas cp21/f slot tweeters for uhf.
Generally the setup sounds pretty good with the following exception - dont laugh!
When playing live music and there is audience applause it sounds that the clapping is being produced through tubes ie has an echo or reverberation, also a bit on live vocals. I have tried various crossover frequencies from 750hz to 1.5k different phasing etc but cannot get rid of this. The room isnt overly live, and its not because of close listening distance (around 3m), it is clearly audible outside.
It is almost like the is a time delay at the crossover frequency, but having said that it is evident when playing the horns only.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
