Modular Noise

anyone have reccs for a modular noise friendly PA? im using a behringer b112d and it smells like burnt glue after every show, i only have the volume halfway up or less too.

Ouch hehehe! I don't think it's linked to your modular system, unless you are going straight out of it without stepping the signal down to line level.

nah, i have a befaco output v3 which brings it down to line level

And you don't experience the same issue with other gear? Strange.

yeah im not sure whats up with it. i guess im just going to use it until it perishes and hopefully by then i can find a good recommendation for a modular noise PA

I've used and played with several types and brands of PAs and I've never experienced any particular issue, beside if the PA system itself was already shitty or fucked up in the first place.
Good luck!

I wld maybe suggest go with Mackie powered speakers and a Mackie mixing desk, didn’t Behringer swipe their designs from Mackie anyway? iiuc.
I personally have ran live acts at full volume redlining motherfudgers thru full Mackie systems: The Haters, Emil Beaulieau, Sixes, Gerritt, Wolf Eyes, The Cherry Point, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, and many many others with no problems whatsoever.

thanks, when it comes time to replace it i'll look into mackie!

i did get a chance to ask anthony (nice guy!) from bastard noise/hypertrophy etc and he said that its likely signal offset or low pitches under 20khz causing the cone to constantly get pushed or pulled off center which causes it to burn and recommended i pick up a highpass filter that cuts everything below 20hz.

he suggested the shakmat 2hp high pass filter for this purpose. so i will be picking one of those up as soon as i am able. so if anyone in the future is searching threads on the board for answers as to why your PA keeps emitting abyssal odors of the worst sort, here you go!
