Ordered some Beamblockers today!

[Nocki]

Hi all,

I ordered some beamblockers today. Just to try them out! maybe my 2x12 recto cabs will sound better with them in front of the speakers. anyone else here uses beamblockers???

Let me know what you think.

No, but I would like to. A front mount 4X12 with Vintage 30's IMHO needs them to kill some of that high end sizzle.

Please do a follow up. I read about these and many folks swear by them. At times I will just place a guitar on a stand in front of the speakers to sort of break things up. How do you mount them so they don't rattle around?

Could someone give me a link to this and tell me exactly what they do? I've never heard of them....

 

[Nocki]

Beamblockers will stop the high notes to be shot forward and trow them to the sites so high notes will be mixex with mid and bass notes that get spread to the sites...

You can always email Ted at Weber VST and ask him for the entire low down. If you tell him the amp you use, and the cabs & speakers, he will most likely be able to tell you if they will help you or not.

They are great guys and very honest. If they think a product won't help you, they will simply tell you so, or offer something else that might be better for your particular application.




As for mounting, they appear to just bolt onto your speaker, using the speaker mounting bolt.

Do these make recording hard? with mic placement?

I think most mics are placed off-axis, so the cone will still be accessible!

 

[Grandor]

Most guys just throw on some gaff tape on the grille in front of the centre of the speaker

 

[Nocki]

Gaffa??? You think i Play Mesa amps for the sound??? I play m only for the looks and the cool manuals they include!

Gaffa on a nice looking cab... what will the girls in the audience say???

Or you could just install them in all the speakers but one of your cab and reserve that one speaker for miking up.

So hows it sound? and how do you get that grill off?

 

[ibanez4life SZ!]

I'm really considering these for my avatar! Waiting on your review!

And, did you get the 4" or 5" dome?

 

[Nocki]

I think it is the 5"inch dome. allthough i'm not shure.

I still have to use it in band practice but at home they sound great!

Ill let you guys know more as soon as i played it in our studio!

 

[samhill]

I got the 4" for my two Mesa 4x12's. They work great, my stage sound, volume and dispersion have improved dramatically, greatly improved FOH mix because the stage volume has come down and at the same time I can hear better.
