The 310's have arrived !!!!

[Steve LeBlanc]

First impressions:

- Holy Sh-ite; they're small and light. I'm thinking: "No way these little boxes are gooing to provide enough sound...."

Also noted.....no gain control (just volume), no bass, mid, treble controls. No ground lift switch.

So for kicks, I hook them up..sans (no) sub.....Man! They get loud and clear for little boxes.

On another board, a dj mentioned he used these stand alone for small gigs.....For dinner...yes, ceremonies...yes, reception dances....Hmmm! not so sure.

Most songs sounded Great..clear crisp highs and mids.....clean bass; however as expected on songs such as Umbrella, Hips don't lie. Sexyback.....you don't hear feel that low bass that I hear when running my 6A's standalone...

They weren't distorting or clipping....They just weren't putting out that ooomph....which again I wasn't expecting....Perhaps I'm being critical, being a DJ. I suspect to the average guest won't notice any lack of oomph.....

Again though, these boxes on their own get loud...without getting harsh or distorted...
By themselves 9/10


So I hook up the sub and set the x-over at 100hz.... cue up the way I Are......

Holy Sweet Mother !!!!!! does this set up sound frickin' nice... The sub is taking all the low end...the tops are crankin' and crystal clear....Sounds amazing.....Far better with the 310A's versus the Maxx6A's...with the sub...

put a second 705AS sub , I figure you could do some pretty big rooms...

I find as well the set up, visually looks nice.....No starballs on these boxes though....

Super pleased...happier when the bags arrive from audiopyle....

That's it, I've heard enough. Gonna get me those speakers too!!

 

[Papa Deuce]

What are 310's?

 

[Steve LeBlanc]

RCF 310A's

 

[maestro]

Two 705's provides more than enough bass to do this 500 seat dinner / dance hall.

Steve,

Have you looked into the Matrix systems? The 1000v2 and the 2000?

I use the 2000 and I can comfortably do a 200 person hall, with pleanty of upmh!

[Steve LeBlanc]

Lou...never considered the Matrix....Don't know why...right now I've got a potent package tha weighs in total - 140lbs.....

I just ordered this exact set up (a pair of 310A's with the matching 15" sub). I was originally going to go with the ART 312A, except when looking at the specs between the 310A and the 312A, things appeared fairly identical. So, I decided to go with the 310A's for the weight savings.

I expect the set up to be here within the next week or two. I can't wait to try them out!

 

[Steve LeBlanc]

You will be impressed!

Make it even more portable...Order the cart for the sub or fabricate one...Make moving the 80lbs. easy.....

Here's some pics I made when I built a cart for my 18" RCF. Just adjust for size.

Did you get your setup? how you like and have you been able to use it, also how many people have you covered with this?

Yes. I love them. So far I've done a wedding of 200 people as my largest event and they performed very well.

 

[maestro]

I've done the hall pictured above and others the same size with only a pair of FBT 4a's and a single RCF 705 sub, sounded great!

 

[Steve LeBlanc]

I did 270 last week.....I posted pics.....Lit the limiters on the 310's a couple of times....the 705 was pounding though....

So do you feel you were driving the 310's hard with that many people?

 

[Steve LeBlanc]

Nope - sounded great. the sub does the hard work......these things "sing"...It was loud...in a good way

 

[maestro]

Remember, for 270 guests you are only providing background music. If you have a dance-floor with 270 peeps on it, of course you would need more power. But for a 300 or 400 person wedding with a hundred people on the dance floor, no problem!

 

[sirdj]

I just got my pair of 310's, haven't tested them but will do this week.

I'm wondering how about if I had 2 RCF 705 Subs (which I do) and used them with the 310's would that do the work and handle up to 300-350 people?

Just wondering

 

[Steve LeBlanc]

Easily...I think one sub would do. As Steve mentioned; with weddings ; for the most part you have a small dance floor. You're not looking to bombard the whole room with dance floor volume.

If I were doing a 300-350 person wedding, in a typical room, I probably wouldn't change a thing; again I'm only interested in the dance floor.

These boxes go as loud as most 15" boxes. Where they suffer is the ability to "oomph" like a 15" box.....you let the sub do that.

In the 30 years I've been at this, I can't remember a time I've been asked to "turn it up"

You'll be pleased. Cross them over at 100hz.....
