savman Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hey,just in the process of upgrading our monitor rig, need opinions from anyone who has used the following units:JBL MRX512MJBL SRX712MEV ZX5Dynacord 15-3 D LiteTurbosound TXD rangeAcoustic Line A6HK Audio Contour CT/CN 112 or 115 I need four wedges which will be run off 2 x Crown XTI4000 poweramps and I'm looking for something that can do rock band volumes without a struggle. I'm thinking I may not have enough juice to get the best out of the SRX wedge but I'm open to all suggestions. Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 In terms of the JBL 512, have a look at this thread from PSW. Unfortunately the MP3 link doesn't work any more, but it is of a vocalist begging for the monitors to be turned down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Riley Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 We've got a big (6 pairs) TXD12M rig, and they certainly punch above their weight (and price) in terms of SPL, sound quality, general feedback 'well behavedness' and build quality. Get the black ones though! They're also really light, compact, can be used in pairs effectively and have some really neat features such as the pole mount integrated into the handle, and the way which there is a paralleled speakon on each end of the wedge. I'm sure the other ones would work well also, and I know that they're not the perfect wedge, but I would be happy to use them in pairs on all but the loudest, most prestigous gigs. HTH, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savman Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Aye I've been looking at the TXD range with interest, thanks for that Matt. Hard trying to find the right box for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_BB Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Aye I've been looking at the TXD range with interest, thanks for that Matt. Hard trying to find the right box for the job. Hi There, I purchased the TXD rig Matt is referring to after about 18 months of demoing and testing everything I could get my hands on. For the Money, the TXD beats every product in its price range and most of the ones that are a bit more. If you need a bit more low end or need to bi-amp go for the 15" version as the 12"'s only run passive. We use Camco Techtons on them and run them at their recommneded power of 600w a box, with a 50hz high pass. You really have to push them very hard to get the amp to go into limit. If you have more money to spend then I would look at the EM acoustics wedges as well as the new LE series from Martin. The Radian Microwedge is also very good, but you might find the sound is projected upwards too much (which is ideal if the performer is stationary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savman Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Cheers John, seems Turbo's more popular this side of the big pond ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
