I know this is common sense but do not have the speakers on the same desk as
your decks, its amazing how many clubs have this and expect the foam to soak up
he bass but sadly it just doesn't happen :( Also I saw pics of them at
Movement this year so you could find out from them I guess :) good luck....oh
and let me know if they do work once your party is done as I'd be interested..
cheers

Subject: (313) Freefloats and feedback.
Incidentally for the gig I just mentioned in a previous post I've
purchased
a pair of those "Freefloat" things (bright orange, weirdly shaped
inflatable
cushions you put your decks on) in an attempt to reduce feedback which
seems
to the limiting factor with our set up at the venue we're playing. Does
anyone know if they work for this purpose? The makers reckon you
should be
able to turn your system up 20 - 30 dB more (so I guess they must
provide
20 - 30 dBrw?).
What other measures do people find effective to combat feedback (foam
vs.
inner tubes vs. paving slabs vs. water vs. combinations vs. something I
haven't heard of etc.) and what does anyone know about the phenomenon?
I've
heard that Technics 1200s/1210s may be particularly susceptible to
vibrating
at a frequency which I've heard quoted as both round 60Hz and 40Hz.
