North - Central Illinois 9/27/2014

If you would like to experience the BigE (MVW) big guns then this show is for you.  It is an all day and night benefit featuring 8 touring DJs with live drums.  All MVW sound and we are bringing the heat with  18" and 21" subs - 10Kw of MVW front of house!  
We will also be using a new model GC top.

Running the 22's.?

Both 21's and at last three 18's...a tower of power!

I meant the new GC's. I know you take every opportunity to roll out those refridgerator subs

Yes we will be using the prototype GC-85 tops on the 22“ architectural series waveguide.

Following your bass guitar naming scheme...leads me to infer this is a PA top with 8, 5" mids? What's the formal name of this one? And will there be other mains used at the show?

Yes,  this is a variant of the MAS-85 with eight 5.5“ woofers and a BigE designed HF waveguide with a CD in the center. This will also be a powered unit with a passive single 15" subwoofer. The test units we will be using are passive and one uses eight Vifa tweeters the other is using two Ciare tweets. After evaluation we decided to employ a HF waveguide of our own design for the production models. We did have other mains to use as well but an angry Crown XTi4000 blew them up. See:http://forum.bigeloudspeakers.com/t113p15-crown-no-more#2009 We are building a 7' high prymid of subwoofers for the show!

Yikes!

What a fun show. The  MVW 's were heard at half a mile. We even blew up a 21" Lil'E! It was the first Lil'E prototype and was subjected to quite a bit of abuse including infrasonic testing. It will be back. We can rebuild it. We have the technology.
Temple of Boom!


It was good to see you again, Rich.
