From the beginning...

The original intention of the speaker shootout was to compare and evaluate several of the smaller format self-powered cabinets and systems that are commonly used in Disc Jockey and small FOH applications. I think we successfully accomplished that goal and were also able to fire up some bigger speakers while we were there too. This was not an exhaustive scientifically based shootout. We tried to keep things fair but informal and fun. We were mostly focused on listening rather than testing.

The playback system consisted of a laptop using an external USBpre interface for MP3 and WAV file playback. The USBpre was run into a Mackie 1202 basically used for level control and some very small EQ tweaks later on in the listening sessions. The 1202 fed a pair of Sabine Navigator 3600 DSPs (each DSP was handling the routing for one of the main channels from the 1202). Each output of the DSP was used to feed a different loudspeaker so that we could easily change the active speakers by muting and un-muting the DSP outputs. With the aid a Radio Shack digital SPL meter and pink noise we set the volume of each of the speakers to the same relative volume at approximately one meter.
