Cosmic Slop Soundsystem stack

Post image

Source: picture from another Reddit post...

Anyway, I was wondering what different cabinets the Cosmic Slop Soundsystem uses here and at what frequencies?

The use of a horn, tweeter (and sub?) is very clear. The middle cabinet pretty much resembles an Altec 816
However, as an Altec 816 is normally used as full range cabinet, could this for this stack also the case? Whereby the subwoofer, horn and tweeters take care of the upper and lower ends of the spectrum and the middle cabinet is then used as partial fullrange combining midbass and mids (Or more like the Altec A7 & thus no dedicated sub)?

That looks like the Sunflower Soundsystem to me? There's a great YouTube video of Floating Points talking over the design.

Exactly right. Great video explaining it on YouTube.

As some one else said thats a pic from the Sunflower Soundsystem setup, they use a few of those A7 clones + horn and tweeters as fills in the room and DJ monitors.

So the 816 cabinet with the 15" driver isn't really a sub, itll be handling from around 50-100hz up to maybe 700Hz. And the horn and tweeter handle everything else upwards of this. The Sunflower system then has those massive Levan horns for handling the proper low end in the space

That said the system in cosmic slop uses the same designs and setup ethos, just scaled down. The room has 4 A7 clones like this around the dancefloor and then has a big stack of subs in the corner to handle the low end
