DiY Hifi uses unique designed speakers providing a crystal clear full-range sound with maximum efficiency  not like anything seen in Autralia . Inspired by Tom Danley`s (Danley Sound Labs Ltd)<\/a>  innovative designs we have 4 x Unity Style Horn Mid \/tops and 4 x SS15 Tapped Horn Subs<\/a>. Big Barn doors on the subs increase efficiency even more! Full Fat Audio<\/a>, C-Audio and Behringer Class D \/ AB SMPS amps for the best output versus power ratio and of course sound quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use an XTA DP6i as LMS\u00a0 providing crossover and limiters. Everything is controlled through a Behringer X Air 18 wifi digital mixer, this has Midas developed mic pres and full EQ and dynamics on all the ins & outs , it is a very powerful tool in the smallest package. We also have an analogue option of A&H MizzWiz 16 with full BSS and Lexicon outboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring is provided by  Quest QS350 12″ + 1″ passive or Quest QS300 12″ + 1″ active full range speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the designs were chosen to provide the best power consumption \/ SPL for use off-grid but also to be managable by one person. The trailer transports all the equipment and power generator  system making it compact in footprint and less in fuel costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trailer provides a Solar powered generator to give us a steady 240v supply completely off-grid. The Battery bank runs at 48v DC with a large capacity inverter to get us the power we need for the system. We use Solar panels on a tilting roof with 2 extra panels which fold out when the trailer is parked up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
