This week we're going to take a look at the setup that I've built for Sinai Sound system, while we were at Dub Camp in France. This video was shot during sound check on the morning of our gig, hence cable trenches not being buried yet. The system performed exceptionally well, covering 3k people in that tent. Many people commented it was one of, if not the best sound system at Dub Camp. 0:00 Int...

Speakons for Sound Systems

I get a lot of questions about Speakons and how to use them in regards to sound systems. I hope this video goes some way to explain their usage along with some basic wiring knowledge. Sorry the audio level is a bit low in this video, I messed up the settings for the output of my video editing software... 0:00 Introduction 0:49 NL4 and NL8 overview 2:05 NL4 4:15 NL8 5:03 What are they for? 6:09 ...
Intentional Design in Sound Systems | EP02 Q&A

I was recently invited to give a talk about a topic of my choosing to the Sheffield University Reggae Society, so long as it was educational and informative. This is the Q&A that followed the talk. I made a few errors in things that I said in this video which I corrected in comments during the edit down of the footage. Sadly these corrections have not rendered into this video, I'd not noticed u...

Paraflex cabinet specs are over at www.calumaudio.co.uk/paraflex-specs Don't forget you can get quotes for all your Paraflex needs over at www.calumaudio.co.uk/quote
Much luv!
stay strong music business is not easy but the stage where you are is great.conttinue praises onto you
What do you do with those round speaker hole offcuts seen around 4min30? I'm building some omnidirectional speakers that could really use round pieces of ply :) Just made some Duevel-style horns, but they'd be useful for regular diffusers as well. I'm in Oxford, happy to drive down if you're willing to part with a pile for a fair price. Cheers!
hi that's a brilliant video I just have a question I have a powered studio master desk with Jack outputs could this be changed to speakon outputs thanks
Hey, very nice workshop and CNC 🙂 I also have a NUM CNC-controller (NUM 1050) on my 5 axis Huber&Grimme, they are really very good and reliable! Greetings from Germany 🙂
Hey Calum do have tutorials on soldering NLT8FXX to 12 awg 8 conductor wire? Thanks
❤ 🙏
Whats the point facing the DJs with biggest stack?!
very helpful thank you callum.
Any ID on the last tune? 5:18 onwards? Biiiiiiiiig bass
Joe Yorke - Last Night's Tune. Dub it up!!
Cheers Calum, very interesting indeed. If the silver price takes off, i will be placing an order with you.
This was so helpful, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your tips & tricks. Now i finally know how i should link my cabinets nice and easy ! Jah bless 🙏🏼❤️💛💚
all the HOQS boxes in one place ,good work sir much appreciated ..
cool thanks for sharing always good to see how others work ..
Could you explain how you connect four speakon in the same cabinet? Like for a sub that has two Speakon at the back and two at the Front and therefor is easy turnable for a cardioid setting ?
thank you for this info! soaking it up like a sponge
when will your website have the full range of speaker cabinets available? can only see 3 at the moment :)
wow, did not expect this!
💙❤💚👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Vc tem o nome do lugar onde com tipo a loja…
Olá como faço para compra do Brasil esses conectores da Netrik NL4PM..
Recommendations for a box that plays from 80hz to average 300hz
Ha, wish I'd seen this a few weeks ago when I fitted out my rig as a total newb with all NL2 fittings. Things are congested,, but at that point I had no idea how to wire it all up with NL4's etc. And those fasten connectors would have saved me hours. We live and we learn lol.
Greetings from France! 🇫🇷 I need your experience for my project. What is the best box to build for an 8" subwoofer? To have the deepest bass it can give. Thanks in advance for your advice. 😁
Dude covering the topics that matter. Give thanks brother 🙏
where can i find the track from part 'on stage'? massive tune, big up Joe yorke
What brand cables are you using to wire up the panels?
We just use off the shelf 2.5mm or 1.5mm hookup cable, the RS Pro range is a good place to look.
@kingoriginalsound check us out
I need to know what song this is, it's magical. I've yet to find out if it's a special live thing or something
singer is joe york maybe a dubplate or chek his latest album
Joe Yorke - Fast Living
Lovely channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Love what you do fella. And with such humility. I intelligence and forethought. Big up.
Gotta say I’ve been watching your stuff for about year now and you are awesome man I learn so much, thank you cal.
Brilliant , I'm over here Ireland. I set up a workshop in lockdown for building campers and probably had a lot of the same difficulty as yourself with material cost , efficacy in the workshop ect. I have another job so I’m lucky enough to be able to make stupid mistakes and I have learnt a lot from it. Great so see you are doing well and look forward to seeing more video’s .
DONT DIS REGGAE SOUNDS PAL ITS BECAUSE OF REGGAE SOUNDS THESE HI WATTAGE DRIVERS HAS COM ABOUT WHAT ABOUT THEM ROCK PA WOT SOUNDS CRAP,BUT U WANA PLAY DUB CHEEKY.STOP WATERING DOWN REGGAE SOUNDS TALKING LIKE U R THE THE ONLY ONE KNOWS ABOUT SOUND AND REGGAE MUSIC U WANNA B.
You raise a good point, the issues of non intentional design are prevalent across multiple different areas of the PA world. No disrespect was intended, in fact I felt I was quite careful to give reasons for all my opinions. This talk focuses on reggae sound systems solely (and not other areas of audio) because I was delivering it a University reggae society and I was trying to keep things relevant to their knowledge base.
Haha damn, why you had to take it like this? He talked with respect.
I need this tune from the soundcheck.. Calum do you know if it"s alredy release ???? Joe yorke do it so right ..Masterclass vocal performance Big up Sinai
For anyone wanting know the tune still, Joe Yorke - Hopeless album released 2023, tune is Fast Living
Fuck yeah thank you for this - what a great album! @@jesus.loves.you.420
Please the name of the first song?.jah bless!
joe yorkee !
what wire are you using Calum?
Replace the bag filters on your dust collection system with a cyclone and pleated filters. Much nicer, and easier to clean. ua-cam.com/video/NillwoISAtE/v-deo.html
cut your hair man
Wouldn’t the tool clip be viable to have 3D printed in something like ABS or PETG?
There is a time and a place for 3D printing things, while it would be possible to do it I don't fancy risking bodging parts on my main piece of machinery...
Do you have any steps between gluing and painting to hide edges? That's been my biggest challenge building cabinets
After gluing we tend to apply some wood filler if there are any minor gaps, then either just trim with a laminate trim cutter in a router, or trim and sand. Tbh a random orbital sander with 80g paper should be plenty to tidy up the edges enough to give a good finish.
@@CalumAudioLtd I've tried everything like bondo and shellac but even with the thicker coatings like Duratex I've found that after a while (could be a year) the seams start to show. The paint you're using seems to be very thick so that probably helps hide quite a bit
@@octilliondollars Tough thing to hide , I've had turbosound/martin auto cabs , new and old that have had the rebate seem show through on the edges over time.
Keep up, and good luck for your business!
Dual sheet cncs for the win! Thanks for sharing.👍
Thanks calum !! Concratulations with your kid!! And the progression of your workshop! Inspirering for our soundsystem. Keep up the good work !!!
Joey onions on the mic! <3
Oh my days!!! What id do to play a set of jungle in there
Una belleza saludos desde México 🤗
People still linking and running 2R in2022??? Whilst paraflex isn't pro sound surely people would want proper cabling to make it the best it can be... Links leads = Mud end off!
you don't think they have proper cabling?
Such an awesome setup
