Build Your Own High Powered Rig

I have been receiving e-mails recently about the high powered rigs shown on this website and how to go about setting up something similar. So I figured I should get to it and post some instructions. I’ve also posted some links with some sources for getting the parts.

Connect all of the equipment as shown in the diagram below. In the rigs shown on this site, the sound source is either a computer playing back a .wav file or tone generator. However, a tone generator might be prohibitively expensive. A much cheaper alternative would be to purchase the BarkstopCD and use your own CD player as shown in the diagram.

The most important part of this project is to have a good understanding of how impedance is affected when connecting multiple speaker elements. Here’s a site I found that has an excellent explaination of the subject.     DIY Audio and Video

This project should only be completed by those having a reasonable degree of audio and electronics knowledge. I cannot be held responsible for injury or damage caused by improper connection or use of equipment.

I have provided some links below if you are interested in finding the parts to build a rig like the ones featured on this site. Have fun!

 

200W PA Amplifier 200W PA Amplifier

200 Watt PA AmplifierRack mount professional amplifier provides 200W peak output, into an 8ohm load.Internal five channel mixer accepts the following inputs:Three microphone One microphone/phono switchable Line level for CD, tape, tuner, etc. All microphone inputs accept XLR type or 1⁄4″ connections. Phono input is L/R RCA type phono jacks (combined mono), CD/aux input, EQ in/out and mixing bus are single RCA type phone jacks.

Portable PA Amplifier Portable PA Amplifier

Compact, versatile public address amplifier operates on conventional AC power, or 12VDC via included cigarette lighter cord. Three channel mixer/amplifier accepts two mic and one auxiliary/phono input, provides 80W max output and will drive 4/8/16ohm and 70V loads.

3.55'' Square Piezo Horn Tweeter 3.55” Square Piezo Horn Tweeter

Piezo Tweeter PairThese tweeters feature a piezo element for unmatched durability and reliability. Because there is no magnet structure or voice coil, these tweeters are practically burn–out–proof. Their nominal impedance rises as program frequency decreases, thus eliminating the need for a crossover. Very popular in stage speakers, the smaller size units are also popular in carpeted auto speaker enclosures. Sold in pairs.

High Frequency Tweeter CabinetEight–tweeter cabinet provides outstanding high frequency response and very high immunity to burnout, making this an ideal addition to any existing PA speaker system. Because piezo tweeters have very high impedance at low frequencies, no crossover is required, and they may be connected directly in parallel with the existing speaker system.
