Proud owner of the Big Baby 3 here!

Got a question about hiss.

I've been running the cab with a Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.2 and it's brilliant! Today I decided to check out the Audio Form Factor BI1000DI and with gain at about 3 and master at about 3 the hiss is unbearable.

Question: Is this normal, have I just been running the Genz-Benz which outputs 375W and now hearing a 600W via the the BI1000DI or is BI1000DI just complete shit with very bad noise floor?

It sure doesn't feel/sound like a normal thing, but I haven't been around in the cab/head area enough to know if this is normal.

Cheers!
Jacob

Alex responds: Glad it's sounding great! Regarding hiss, cabs don't hiss but all amps do (to some degree). If there's a lot of hiss then it's an amp issue - usually a design/product issue, not a fixable fault. Having a few dB more power should only add a few dB more hiss if you're increasing the gain too - and a few dB isn't much anyway.

I have a couple of Big Baby II cabs that I normally use for bass but I'd like to also use them as a PA for a friend's swing band.

Is there any bracing that I would need to avoid if installing top hats?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Alex responds: You'd need to reinforce the base panel on the inside, so it's 18mm thick minimum, and mount the top hats with bolts and t-nuts, not wood screws. It's a fair bit of work to do well but not that complicated - grill off, speakers out, insulation out in places (you'll need to make sure no sawdust gets left behind stuck in the insulation), cut an internal reinforcement to fit neatly between the spine braces, glue it in solidly and then the four bolt holes and top hat hole through the lot, fit t-nuts and use silicone to make sure there are no air leaks past the top hat before bolting it in place. They do make great PA speakers!

Thankyou for that Alex.

Much more helpful than I could have hoped for.
A nice little project for me.
As you already know, your cabs are miraculous.

I wanted to take a moment and just say a huge THANK YOU to you and your crew for making such an incredible cabinet! The Super Twin coupled with my Bergantino Forté HP is a match made in heaven. 

I’ve only had a chance to play it in a small handful of venues so far, but my band mates and the sound crews and audience members have been commenting on how great it sounds and each time i plug in and play, i get even more enjoyment from being able to hear myself with great depth and clarity. My Serek Midwestern, Serek Sacramento and a Warmoth ‘54 P-bass all respond incredibly well with this rig. It’s also great to be able to make only 1 or 2 trips into a venue rather than multiples and i don’t have to worry about hurting my back moving it around.

Thank you again! Take care,

It's far and away the best cab I have ever owned! There are already a few bass players in Kent who have purchased from you after hearing mine, and I will certainly spread to guitar players as well.

Best wishes

BTW., can I also say how completely delighted I am with my cabs.  It is such a rare thing when reality lives up to expectations but your cabs certainly do. They are everything your said they were but that doesn’t quite capture the feeling, the satisfaction, of playing thru the cabs – simply a different world !!!

The BIG baby arrived today, it is great — and light enough to use in place of the 10T (still waiting for a driver).

The low (and mid) end is already lovely and just started breaking it in.

Thanks to everyone involved!

Just received the cab, looks beautiful. My amps are at the rehearsal spaces where they're used so I haven't had a chance to plug in yet. The anticipation may kill me. I keep eyeing my blues deluxe but no. I refuse for that to be the first thing I hear through these speakers. As a long time chronic back pain sufferer, lugging this thing down my stairs one handed was delightful.

I bought a BB3 at the end of last year and it KICKS ASS!

Now I'm looking to replace my head and downsize but not sacrifice.

I have it down to an Orange Terror 500 (which all reviews say is amazing) and a GK Legacy 800 (I owned a GK 400 back in the day which I loved) and was wondering your thoughts on which you might think brings the beast to bear.

In particular, volume, which while I'm not filling stadiums or anything, just bars, I want to have available.

I come from punk, but am most often playing a wide range of music in my band (60's to 2000's).

Any thoughts you might have would be welcome!

Thanks!

Alex responds: Glad to hear the BB3 is performing well! What amp have you been using recently with it and what do you most like/dislike about its tone, output, etc?

I have a brief question regarding mic (Shure Beta 52) placement (without opening the proverbial worm can; future vid topic???) for my wondrous, thunderous BT3. It hovers about 2-5 cm in front of the top speaker (seems to sound best there). I kick down the horn, but wonder if you had any personal recommendations? By the way, the sound was a little different when the bottom speaker was recorded. Thought they'd be identical (more centralized resonance???). Curious about your thoughts.

Regards,
Will O

Alex responds: I'd put the mic where it sounds best! ;-) You'll be getting more boundary reinforcement from the floor with the bottom speaker, maybe some early reflections of shorter wavelengths too. Glad it's sounding wondrous!

I received excellent feedback from a few audience members on a recent gig - with the bass sound; Barefaced Big Baby 3 and Bergantino Amp + Musicman Sabre

Simply inspiring.
Clean, punchy, they carry sound quite well (thirty feet is almost as ‘present’ as three feet).
Alex, you are a wizard. Thank you.
