Replace lug screws with longer screws to hold in square wire-tie downs.
Begin base for wire-tie netting. Faux shock mount.
Feed wire through air vent and tie off then solder to speaker. For a couple reasons I went with a guitar cable. 1.) I had a broken one available, 2.) the speaker only has two connections and an XLR has three, 3.) other projects said the gain was too loud and needed padding – I figured a 1/4 into a DI that had gain padding would benefit me, and it did. Run this way, I had no overpowering gain issues …
Mount speaker to outer ring and pull up slack maintaining as close to center as possible.
Cut acoustical foam to fit.
Install mesh heads and reassemble lugs.
Fini!
Sound Samples:
No EQing, No level adjust, simply untouched sound files … The very first thing you will notice? I’m not a drummer.
Beta52 only:
SubKickSK only:
Both:
After mixing these a few times, the sub-kick is turned down a lot … usually half the gain of the Beta52. Still, getting that sound naturally is definitely awesome …
Please would you like help me to understand this part better. Thanks
Replace lug screws with longer screws to hold in square wire-tie downs.
Due to the extra space taken by the tie-downs, you’ll have to use a longer screw to reach into the lug threads.
