RichP714 3,140 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Old pictures (it's still inwork, and I'm busy doing mk II's for now, so it's on hold). I've since installed the top two M-1.0t mk II's (as in my avatar) and the surround speakers. Still have to do the surround back speakers and a DIY sonotube/wave cannon sub.

TNRabbit 366 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Are those parametric EQs above your DBX unit, Rich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reese 47 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Very, very impressive (and nice, too) -- Do the lights dim in the neighborhood when you're crankin'? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Are those parametric EQs above your DBX unit' date=' Rich?[/color'] Yes, 5 band Rane parametric PE-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgrau 84 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 All amps "mk II'd", I'm sure? Nice! Yeah, "amp hoarder"! ||| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yes, all are mk II amps. I don't know if the lights dim; I haven't opened her up yet; she's still in progress, although the dynamics WILL snap your head back and the bass will ALMOST breathe for you (subwoofer coming). While they were building I had them put two dedicated 30A outlets (front left/right) the rest are on 'regular' house breakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zoot Horn Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm guessig that those are fans in the amp rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, three on bottom are intake, three on top are exhaust; I still need to close up the gap on top and bottom with rack mount blanks and put the door back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, when I get around to it I'm going to gen up one of the XLR - RCA balanced to unbalanced converters that Billd created: http://thecarversite.com/yetanotherforum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=139 In the meantime I just use XLR-RCA adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 It's been awhile, and they're inside the cabinets, so I can't get to them, but I believe they are: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GXM133/ and http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GXF132/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaan92 9 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 So, do you like to entertain yourself by watching the power meter spin after you turn it all on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest austinstephens Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Very Cool setup Rich!!! Love the stack of amps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well, the great thing about Carver mag field stuff; at idle it just sips current. e.g. the M-1.0t mk II (33VDC bottom rail, 115VDC top rail) is a 400W amp, but behaves like a 110W amp unless it has to. Add to that, I'm tri-amping my system (which theoretically cuts power requirements by four) and don't have to go much above 5 watts to reach concert levels (my speakers are high sensitivity) The meter is in another room, but I doubt it would spin faster.

SteveFord 1,054 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Looking at that stack of amps, I was wondering what your better half has to say about that? I think it's great, myself. P.S. There's room above the tv set that needs filling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docadillac 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 That's some kind of powerhouse you've got there. A stack after my own heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman53 1,111 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 You got room in that rack for at least 2 more amps there, Rich :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 One's not in use as it is (waiting for a good 9.1 implementation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kjf Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Sweet setup. I haven't seen DBX stuff in like, forever. Ranes look like the ones I use on my guitar amp KJF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP714 3,140 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 There's also a 3BX-ds, SNR-1 and 224X that aren't in the rack. It looks like I'm not going to get into Carver Amazing style planar magnetics, so I'll probably get rid of the Rane eq's and get at least the C-9 and 3BX back in there.......
