Because they would hide the monitors

The most beautiful LABs I've seen.
But, is it only me...
Why are all the recessed handles up-side-down?
(on the LABs as well as on the V-DOSCs)
I always install them with the bigger clearance side on top.
This leaves more room for one's wrist when grabbing to lift...

12 Labhorns! 6 of them are 5 years old, running off Plx3402's. The other 6 are 4 months old running off of Plx3602's. The New block of 6 were much more powerfull... Much Debate over why?.?. 5 year old drivers?, The Extra 100 Watts per cabinet?, probably a combination of all this. Either Way, Things sounded so good everywhere!!! Non-stop compliments! I defend myself from the mobs of women, by referring them to the genius behind it all, Tom Danley. I say, all I did was cut up some wood and glue it together! |
Yikes! Am I seeing this right: JBL SR cabs flown with I bolts drilled into the tops of them?
PS- If you bumped your power up to a PL6.0 or PL380, or even a MA5k, I'd bet you could double your output.

.The Unity horn is licensed from the company (or what is left of it-a po box)Tom used to work for. The actual design of said horn is not Tom's, but rather Yorkvilles' use of the technology.
The same thing goes for Yorkvilles new VTC loudspeakers. They are not designed by Tom, but rather simply are licensing the technology (this time from Danley Sound Labs).

not sure why the sub handles are upside down, but V-Dosc stack upside down, so when you stack the handles are right side up.
Second: those are some damn good looking subs. is there a build thread on them?

I'd rather have them on the wood. Better structural integrity, less likely to leak air.

But the adjacent edges all appear aligned.
The outer two boxes appear to lack the "lip" required for the grill. Perhaps traps that have been constructed from "skeleton" series Floods. The lip between the horns and the box don't seem to exist.
I'll bet the UK holds a more diverse working population of flash/flood variants. I learned this weekend that the Flood also came in a trap version...so square, trap, or skeleton...and half-box variants.

Ok, just to clear up the confusion, all the floods in the picture were at one stage skeletal versions.
The four middle boxes have cabs built by me (from 18mm ply). The outer two boxes were bought at a different time, with the cabs already constructed from 15mm ply. The ply thickness and lack of surrounding frame in the outer boxes is what causes them to appear slightly smaller.
