MathOfInsects Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 This case isn't a perfect fit (19x12x14), but it rolls and the price is right. Plus the bit of extra space is good for pizza. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31lCCtjBi-L._SY355_.jpg Here it is for $119 for two stackable cases; use the second one for beer, which you'll need because pizza: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arriba-ACR-19-Padded-Stackable-Rolling-Case-for-Lighting-Gear-PAIR-/311155981505?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4872577cc1 Quote Now out!

16251 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Okay, I thought I had seen everything there was to see with my SSv3. Not so... A local KC forumite came over to check out my Space Station. I set it up in my living room with my PC3 so he could hear it. Sounded killer...anyway, while he was playing it, I wandered out of the room into the kitchen, which is separated from the living room by a wall that you can walk around from both sides to get to either room. Get this - while in the kitchen, separated from the living room by the wall, I could still hear the stereo effect. Clearly. Seriously. .... Interesting ! I have a question, if you had a ping-pong delay type bouncing between L&R channels, would you still hear that directional separation from another room ? i.e. would you hear delay repeats from opposite sides ? That was my first question when deciding on an SS. I posted a video a few pages earlier using that effect. It's not the same as sitting at a Fender suitcase but it's close, but unlike the suitcase you hear the same lush sound everywhere and just close up and at sweet spot.

Joe Muscara Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 IMHO, "stereo" is the incorrect term to use, as the term carries all this connotation - distinct L and R channelization, a focused sweet spot where balance coalesces, an attempt to build a "wide soundstage, and all that other audiophile jargon. Rather, what this little speaker does is create a spacious, multi-vector point source - very much like (as Ray points out) having an actual big old acoustic point source in a room - an acoustic grand piano. I'm guessing because to some degree all conventional speakers beam along a vector trajectory, they don't do a great job generating the complex reflections that acoustic instruments create as a point source (in all directions, including the vertical). The SSv3 also doesn't perfectly imitate a true acoustic point source - but it does a much better approximation by working along more than one vector at the same time. Been a while since my college physics classes, but that's my best guess for now. So if it's not really stereo, that means even kanker can use one.

rickp Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I almost have down-pat a method for adjusting the width (requires a few trips between width control, keyboard, and out in room); there is a point at which some of the sound begins to seem like it's coming from the direction opposite the SS3's position - uncanny.

rickzjamm Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I set up a home made acrylic trifold (12" x 24") enclosure placed behind the SS & set it 8' from me, played an organ patch from my FA-06 and had the "Aspen Epiphany Moment" (AEM)... it felt like parts of the sound were literally to my far right & far left. I then played a sequence and walked around the room, the whole room was a sweet spot, even outside the room it the stereo field was felt... for me the trifold baffle made the difference. And it wasn't a matter of volume but rather a comfortable rich stereo field, for loud barking directional blasting it holds its own in mono mode. I used this set up in church (a pretty large bldng) & everyone was looking for my "multiple speaker system"! ;-) Quote You don't know you're in the dark until you're in the light.

HammondDave Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I am truly amazed at the amazement of people hearing phased shifted signals. Weren't TVs doing this for years with their "simulated stereo" sound processing? The SS3 is a much more advanced application of this... Right?

B. J. Love Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I set up a home made acrylic trifold (12" x 24") enclosure placed behind the SS & set it 8' from me... for me the trifold baffle made the difference. I experimented with a smaller "deflector" with similar results. I wanted to try something that would fit in the already tight case. I had some 1/8" masonite laying around, so I cut two 17"X10" pieces, gaff taped them together at the 10" edge, and just stood it up at a 90 degree angle on the floor in the middle of a small room with the SS in the "corner." The difference, even with this short little deflector, was remarkable. Stereo effect more pronounced and increased bass response. I hardly missed the Behringer sub. For grins, though, I put the whole Rube Goldberg contraption on top of the sub. Ugly as sin, but sounded glorious!

endlessummerkeys Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I am going to do the plexiglass idea this weekend also and will let you know what I find. mine was just going to be a bi-fold design about 12" taller than the side speaker which sits on top of my Sub. I even envisioned a more type of a faceted design kind of like a cut diamond would have many reflective surfaces. Thinking that that would disperse the should in many directions, but I kind of think that just a simple bi-fold would do fine. Will let you know my results Sunday morning....

16251 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 How about some trifold, duofold, etc. which becomes a case for the SS? Quote AvantGrand N2 | ES520 | Gallien-Krueger MK & MP | https://soundcloud.com/pete36251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickzjamm Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The middle section of the trifold is against the back of the SS & the sides fit with a few inches of space.
