Yamaha DBR12 or DBR15 powered speakers. Mackie was also an option but I liked the clarity and depth of Yamaha. I have only heard the DBR15.
Please help me choose suitable mixer and other equipments. Any other speaker would also not be an issue.
Also is there a way to soundproof using glass or other materials .
I am a total newbie in this . | Quote:

Petroheadd,
1. Glass (as has been mentioned before) is a poor surface when it comes to sound. It is resonant, hard and reflective all features you do not wish to have in ANY audio install. If you still want to use glass for aesthetic reasons you will have to consider all the challenges glass creates. The bigger the panels the bigger the challenge.
2. The DBR and DXR series from Yamaha is more suited for Live Arena sound. Please consult a good audio consultant in Kolkutta because I can see from your posts that you do not have enough good guidance. If you happen to find yourself in Singapore and are still interested in Yamaha I can help. I have no commercial or any other interest in Yamaha or any audio brand.
3. Your audio consultant should build an integrated package for you. A good place to start is to talk to Anindya Mukherjee of Sonodyne. He a young man (2nd generation at Sonodyne) with a wealth of experience in audio. See this video from 2014.
4. Beyond Mackie (I assume you heard the Thump series) and Yamaha you realy need to look at EV (Electo-Voice), Peavey, QSC, RCF, etc. Most of these have representatives in Mumbai (I do not know about Kolkutta). I would get myself a copy of the past issues of PALM magazine (I throw my copies away so don't have any around) and familiarize myself with the brands available and their dealers.
5. Lastly do not just look at paper specifications on RMS power, coverage angles, etc. Listen to the product. If the dealer does not have the product or has not installed the product before ignore it, move on, there are enough options from the ones already in the market (again I only know the Mumbai market not Kolkutta).
OT: I am a big fan of RCF but please do not go my taste or recommendations alone. Check this link out. Dev sells other brands too. You need someone like them in Kolkutta. http://www.develectronics.com/rcf-active-speaker
Hope this helps. |
