danno 0 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Terralec stock 'em. Have a look on their website. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to post Share on other sites
Kingy 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I used to stock these. I would not recommend them to anyone other than very very budget systems. They sound pants. RCL are based in Watford, Don is the owner, a nice enough guy. Sadly, even he will acknowkledge them as being budget!!! I beleive he is currently offering some "improved" designs. Time will tell.

ChrisPointon 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 My advice is to avoid anything that uses a £3 piezo 'tweeter' as it's only source of high frequencies. These are better off used for Cat scarers and alarm systems and have no place in modern speaker design. Even if money is limited, there are budget cabs out there which use compression or voice coil driven horns, for the same price. Even existing budget cabs can sound better, just by replacing the piezos with a crossover and a decent HF unit!. Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Dicky 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Chris I supply virtually identical speakers the only difference being 1 design uses tweeter and the other has a horn. Both designes sell well and have always been praised for the sound quality, but the version with the piezo tweeters out-sell the horn version 2 to 1 Dicky DMX help and support Great prices on class-d speaker systems Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen some of the horns that are used in RCL's cabs, some of them sound so shrill it's un-believable. Having said that, the cabs sell. There is a market for them, its just that I don't think the pro's on here would ever contemplate these units. That 2 x 15" cab used to trade in at about £75 + vat each!!!

Andy Westcott 0 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Here we go, know-all speaks again.... http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif The design of those cabinets is wrong as regards the placement of those tweeters. Obviously selling on looks to the lounge party brigade..... You see, with four sound sources on the same plane as is the case here with those tweeters, the high frequencies would be beamed to a very narrow angle, making them sound pretty crap in a larger room unless you were directly in front of them. It would have been far better if they had been mounted on a convex baffle to simulate a point source. Lack of attention to this most basic concept would make me seriously question the rest of the design. Anyhow, weren't piezo tweeters intended as a joke?? http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/laugh.gif Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, Sherlock Westcott is on the case again!, I wouldn't have noticed that http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/tongue.gif I hope that it is just the back of the cabinets, the backless speaker design never really caught on http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/scared.gif Link to post Share on other sites

Cerwin Vega V152 have no backs in the bottom 3rd. These cabs are great! Sadly, after the first batch they re-designed them and put the portings in the bottom of the cab. Lost some of the bass then.... Link to post Share on other sites

However some of them are copies of Cerwin-Vega products whilst others are copies of JBL EON cabinets. No idea what they sound like. Link to post Share on other sites
