Aspen, I think SS owners are single-handedly responsible for purchasing 80% of the Behringer B1200D production. Rather than share the wealth with Behringer, perhaps you ought to build a Center Point sub in the same form factor as the SS. I'm sure you can find an 8" single purpose driver that will go down to 40hz, and I would expect 200 watts would be enough to complement the volume of the SS. If more cab sq inches are required to support the low end, then you could simply build the sub cab higher. Finally, a single-purpose crossover would ensure that the SS is seamless all the way down to 40 hz. What do you think?

What is the consensus best amp stand to use in deploying the SS3 on its side?

Anybody else observe an artificial resonance on or around the C above middle C from the side speaker on AP?

Hi Aspen, if I have a mono source and apply a bit of reverb via the mixer, don't I still wind up with a mono source? Can you explain why the SS would recognize this as stereo and spread the output among the two drivers? Thanks much.

So here's a question. If I pan a number of mono sources (voice, bass, horns, guitar) across both channels of my mixer and blend them in the stereo out, does the SS send any content to the secondary speaker? Or, because there is no "difference" in the sound sources does it just sum all of the mono sources through the front speaker?

Yep, the SSv.3 is not short of bass grunt. Just for fun I ran my bass through it last night and, although it was a little shy on the fundamental, I couldn't get it to fart out, even at a good volume. Would happily use it for bass on a jazz gig if I had to.

 

I'm very fussy about AP tone and have been carting my ADAM-A7 reference monitors around to small cocktail party gigs. I find the SSv.3 measures up very well tone wise, so long as you keep it at least 8 feet away (not so good at short reference monitor distances where the two speakers can't mix). So my days of carting fragile reference monitors around are over.

 

I find amps that faithfully reproduce the lowest octaves on my Kurz PC3 APs wind up sounding boxy and slow to respond on the mids. So I wouldn't be in any hurry to create a Goliath version of the SSv.3 with 12's or 15's. Plus most bass players appreciate a little bandwidth they can stake out for their own.

 

At really high AP volumes (2:00 o'clock) the SSv.3 gets a bit muddy and shrill (probably less of an issue on organ) so I would guess a sub that limited the frequencies passed through to the unit would permit a considerably higher volume with superior fidelity. However, this is not a need that I have.
