Title: Nimrod's speaker tilters
Post by: Jim Turner on January 07, 2018, 05:19:42 AM
Has anybody heard about Nimrod's tilters lately?
I sure would like to buy a few pairs.
Are they still in production?

You might get a better response if you move the question out of the rental software section.

We just bought a pair last week.  Awesome!  Work great, sturdy, price is very reasonable, we'll likely buy many more.

The Balanced Tilter is a nicely made piece, too.  In a world full of "value" manufacturing the BT stands out.  It's priced more than the mediocre stuff but it will last longer than the careers of a dozen interns...

Great stuff. Nimrod, you can look for another possible sale of a pair. A couple techs were very interested in mine today and curious where they could get some.

Great products. I’d say they’re best in class. The only other way to get the same results is to “fly” the speakers from ceiling or truss. These make it much easier

You'll have to pry mine from my cold dead hands.  I love being able to precisely aim the coverage.  Walk out, listen, move it a couple degrees and get exactly what I want.  As compared to maybe a fixed tilt position on some model speakers.

We recently purchased a pair of the BT-12 tilters from Nimrod, and they are quite possibly my favorite piece of gear. They make an incredible difference, especially for the smaller bar gigs that we run during the colder months.

I was impressed with the entire experience - from ordering to delivery to day-to-day use. I was quite honestly surprised by how fast they arrived - I think it took 3-4 days for them to land in my hands here in the US.

Even the foam packaging that the BT-12s ship in is impressive. I've saved it and use it inside of a hard-shell case for storage/transport.

The BT-12s work really well with our DSR112 speakers (small gigs) and exceptionally well with our JTR Noesis 3TX (larger gigs). I would change nothing about them - they are mechanical perfection. The 3TX are tall, but with the BT-12 they remain perfectly stable and balanced, no matter the height or angle. It's really impressive.

It was also very surprising to witness how much they help with directing sound to where you want it to land... changing the tilt angle from 3-degrees to 6-degrees makes a very noticeable difference in most indoor environments.

I was hesitant to spend the $$ on tilters, but after buying (and promptly returning) the K&M "tilters" I decided to invest in the BT-12, and have zero regrets. I only wish I would've bought them earlier!

I too struggled with K&M tilt adapters that required rotation of the speaker in order to facilitate changes of angle, and did nothing to offset the Center of gravity once angled.

Bought the BT-12’s in 2017 and haven’t looked back. They do what they say they do, nearly effortlessly. The angles are easily repeatable and the Center of gravity is maintained. You won’t regret this purchase.

I'm on the same bandwagon.  Quality gear that really makes a difference.  I use them with FA22AC's.  Not small speakers.

Same here. Had a bit of sticker shock from currency exchange (Canadian dollar not that great) and shipping and duty. However, I love these things. I use them at every show with SM80s. They prevent the speakers from spinning and aim the sound exactly where you want it. They are also extremely well built and sturdy. I don't think I will ever have to replace them, but I definitely would if needed.
