Prodman22 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm doing out door theatre up North and have several D&B T10 point source speakers in the rig. Does any one know how weather resistant these cabinets are ? I'm in England and the weather is very wet at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does any one know how weather resistant these cabinets are ? I'm in England and the weather is very wet at the moment. Id make sure that none of the speakers point up if you're in for a while, otherwise the cabinet might fill up... but should be fine, I've never had any problems with d&b gear outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilflet Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 dont know about t series, but iv used q series and d&b wedges outdoors with no problems, and Iv seen pleanty of J series in fields. General good practice would be:- dont leave anything pointing upwards in the rain as they'll fill up- Bit of gaffer over any speakon/ep/other speaker terminals that arnt in use (ie if your linking 2 cabs 1 has 2 cables, in and link, in it so is fine, the second has in and a unmated link, gaffer over the link)- wood under subs/groundstacks to reduce sinking-keep everything out of standing water, and if you can reduce direct heavy rain exposure (under the lip of the stage roof) its a bonus.-be very careful about your amp rack, distro placement.
