Gary:

Just had a idea. The z5500 mid range seems to come from only the center speaker, maybe wireing the top speaker on your pole to the center might get more projection. (if you hav'nt done this already).....Pose

Gary, very cool... you keep outdoing yourself. BTW, count me in for 2 of those.

Good show again Gary....I hope that your getting the material together for the book
...it's got to be a big hit with do it yourselfers.....need a agent????

Thanks guys and gals. I think I've figgured out the mid range problem, but won't get to work on this again until later in the week.

Pose, getting to the inside of the speaker case was not very obvious. The four little rubber sleeves that the speaker cover fits into are easily removable. Beneath them are small phillips-head screws, which allows you to take the face plate off and get to the interior of the speaker enclosure.

Cheers,

Gary

Gary,
It looks very cool but what about the stereo image of the sounds?
Don't you loose it?

Stam

Gary:
Thanks for the tip, I thought of that possibility, but did'nt want to risk tearing something up.........Pose

Stam,

Yes, you do loose the stereo image, however, even with the speakers separated and on posts, stero can only be heard by those persons located within an equalateral triangle in relation to the distance the speakers are separated. Persons outside the triangle primarily hear either unbalanced stereo sounds, or if the room has lousy accustics, they hear mono because the sounds are bouncing off the walls, ceiling, floors, etc.

Cheers,

Gary

Gary:
found time to fix the loose nut in the speaker, thanks to you.

Those puppies has quite a magnet for such a little speaker.

When I first looked at the top picture,with the red bricks in the background, I thought you were converting your wood stove to a pas........cheers......pose

Doc,

I suppose you could fire everything through a mixer, then with some ingenious routing, end up with a pair of 5.1 surround-sound systems that would be 1,000 watts RMS. The hookup, however, for a gigging musician, would be a nightmare.

Almost forgot. A local restuarant where I used to perform just installed a Z-5500 5.1 system as a permanent house sound system. The speakers are all mounted high on the walls, one in each corner of the room, and the center speaker is mounted directly overhead, in the center or the room and facing straight down. The sub sits beneath a Baby Grand where no one can see it, and the remote receiver sits on a window ledge. When the guy at the piano, who also plays a keyboard through the system as well, fires up and performs the sound is awesome and fills the entire room with incredible sounding vocals and music.

Cheers,

Gary
