The Boominator - another stab at the ultimate party machine

[Picarro]

Just to cut it out in effing cardboard for me - we agree on this form of connection right? Speakers with blue wire are paralleled, speakers with red wire are paralleled.

Then you read the answer wrong.

One end is left. The other end is right.

That would make more sense - the same signal would be sent to each pair of glued speaker, and they would play precisely the same thing, right?

[Saturnus]

It would take a long time to explain but having 2 different channels in the same cabinet especially when the drivers are put directly opposite eachother would be problematic for a long list of reasons.

Note that some people do exactly that when they build a Halfinator. But I have never condoned building it, I have just been saying it's the better option over splitting it down the middle.

There would probably also be some problems regarding a signal only going through 1 channel and then having a 24 L cabinet to fill that with instead of 1 shared signal in the same cabinet.

I just assembled my Boominator and have been playing a couple of songs.

Told you

Hard to believe it uses less than 5W at max, right?

Saturnus: I think it´s time for you to write that assembly-instructions-manual down. Your new members need a summary of this thread. =)
When i read the whole thing last summer it took me 3 weeks along with massive googeling och searching for knowledge and details. You sure have it all written down in this thread but everything is spread over 1600 posts wich is massive. Even a chance to make a buck there

So a quick question.

Do you really need two Neutrik NTE10/3 or NTE4 input trafo's for stereo?

Seems weird you have to solder two wires to each wire coming out of the jack cable.

Don't you just solder the black wire from the jack input to the black cable of the input trafo and so forth with the red cable?

[Smoothy]

The question is, do you need it at all? but yes you need 2. there is only one trafo right? then the 2 stereo channels would need to pass through it together and then be separated again. you have 2 channels and one ground, 3 weirs and the trafo have 2 in 2 out. one channel and one ground i think.

Euforia:

That is a good idea but i little much to ask by anyone, don´t you think? Dont get me wrong here it would be great! The problem is that much of the people have no idea how this stuff works, including me, and its a big subject to read up on. I have learned a massive amount of stuff under the past weeks by googling, asking apparently stupid and easy questions and reeding this thread. Saturnus have been to big help already. But yes it would be great with a How to do guide for the boominator.
