| ===Updates===
| |
| ====UPDATE (Jan. 29, 2006)====
| |
| In 2005, the tops were suspended from the Disorient Express, but we still needed a support truck to carry our subs. We also towed a full-sized hitched generator behind the DeX. This year, there is much enthusiasm on the Puddle to tow a small trailer behind the DeX that holds both a smaller generator and the subs; with numerous possibilities for camouflaging them into rolling artworks. <br />
| |
| <br /> | |
| <br /> | |
| ====UPDATE (March 14, 2005)====
| |
| We have now acquired THREE new Mackie [http://www.mackie.com/products/srs1500/index.html SRS 1500] Subs. That gives us four total, which is a lot of bass for the middle of the desert. Next acquisition target: two Mackie 1521 tops...stay tuned! <br />

| ===='''2005 preliminary thoughts on sound'''====
| |
| by The Bass <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| In [[history|past years]], we've rented big honking systems from [http://www.jksound.com JK Sound] in San Francisco.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| On the plus side, lots of JK peeps have been on the playa, they've helped us a bunch, and we've sounded fantastic.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| On the downside, it's EXPENSIVE - about $4k for sound rental in 2004 and $6k for the system in 2003.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| There have also been some mutterings that there might be TOO MUCH SOUND in Disorient - at least, too much for anyone to sleep very comfortably. <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Finally - there's just no way we can lug around such a massive sound system on the Di5orient Express. Too Freakin' Big! <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| THEREFORE.... <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| My plan is to get a bunch of Mackie gear. It's robust, it's portable, it's modular, and it sounds pretty freaking good. <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Right now I have one [http://www.mackie.com/products/srs1500/index.html SRS1500] sub and two [http://www.mackie.com/products/srm450/index.html SRM 450] tops. <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| We could have a respectable little dancefloor with just one more sub and 3 more tops (so we could use one as a DJ monitor). Two subs and 5 more tops would be even better. And so forth. <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| And then there are the big Mackie [http://www.mackie.com/products/swa1801/ subs] and [http://www.mackie.com/products/sa1232/ tops]. Yum! <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| I am no sound engineer. But I think if we get enough of this Mackie stuff, we can get it sounding pretty good. Maybe not as good as a JK system -- but probably good enough for a lot of happiness. <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Comments/edits welcome! <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| A smaller, more portable and modular system will be not only be easier to mount and move, it will be easier to position. The JK stacks were too gargantuan to even aim. <br />
