Which D&B for a 100 capacity, low ceiling, dance venue

Hi all.

 

I'm wedded to D&B so I'm not particularly interested in alternative brands, especially as I already have surplus kit ... but I could be persuaded ... cost is an issue ...

 

We're about to open a small, 100 capacity club space underneath our cafe.

The ceilings are low - just 2.2m

Space is approximately 9m x 9m.

 

Any recommendations on which D&B system to go for?

I was considering Q subs + 4 x E12's (1 in each corner) but the latter are perhaps a bit big ...??

It will all need to be second hand.

And it will need to be loud.

Will use D12's as they're relatively cheap ...

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

 

// We run 4 x E3 on Epacs (corners again) + 2 x E12 subs on a D12 in another space in the cafe [sounds great!]

// We run a C7 system at a larger music venue we also run which we all love!

 

Thanks

Mark

E8 would be better, since your floor to ceiling height is only 7'3".

E8 mounted horizontally at ceiling height would come down 9", leaving 6'6" clearance

Rotate the 90/50 horn to give 90deg horizontal pattern

A single Q-SUB in one corner should suffice

 

Be mindful /responsible re.potentially high SPLs at very close range, considering how small the space is and how close people could be to the loudspeakers

Thanks Tony.

And of course, we'll watch the levels ... if its that loud, its not fun!

 

There are currently some 8S speakers on eBay - are these worth considering??

 

Best
