Old School Loops on Old School CDJ Kit and Hnh TNA-2051 Line Array

0:01 Rather nice line array

All right, so if you've got a bit of old, well, old-ish technology like this, then this video will apply. But also I want to talk a little bit about the TNA 2051 from H&H. Rather nice line array. Okay, so let's play the track. I'm not going to play much for copyright reasons.

Okay, you can hear that sort of click. Now listen. I don't know what happened there. Maybe rewind and tell me what happened. Okay, so what I did is I actually started the loop on the high beat and finished it on the high beat instead of starting it on the low beat. The reason for that is because when you start a loop on the likes of old school players on the kick, what you may do or more likely you will do is when you start the loop, you know, you're almost... If you imagine a wave format, if you imagine a hill and the hill as it rises is the kick peak. And what you've got to do is you've actually got to try and slice inside that hill dead center and then match it up with the end of the loop dead center. But because there's a lot going on,

1:54 These are the line array speakers from H&H

If you're slightly out, then you're going to hear the difference. Whereas if you start the loop at a quiet point and finish it at a quiet point, at a quiet point, then you're less likely to hear any kind of, say, error. All right? Anyway, small sort of video there for your bit of advice. But I want to talk about these. Okay, these are the line array speakers from H&H. And I mean, that just looks like sex, basically. Sorry for anyone. I mean, six, one, two, three, four, three, four, five. Six. See, there's six of them. Okay. So what we've got here, 1.33 compression driver. We've got two five-inch drivers. These are the H&H TNA2051. Okay? And they are very inexpensive line array speakers. Now, each one is 16 ohms.

You put two together, correct configuration, you go down to eight. Ideally, you want four a side. I... If you... If you check out the video I did, or H&H did when we did Lake Fest this year, you'll see the setup we had. We had four of these either side. We had 12-inch and we had the 18-inch subs. And I'll tell you what, the sound system was absolutely crystal clear. But what I do like about these, and I've talked about it before, is you've got no ports. Okay? So when you have a ported speaker, what happens is the driver moves out, air is sucked in through the port, the driver moves in, air is pushed out through the port. Whereas with these, there's no port. So what happens as the driver moves out, there's actually a natural vacuum that happens inside the speaker.

So the cab naturally wants to pull the driver back in, even though the driver wants to come out with a kick. What that means is that they're more efficient. Now, don't expect to have like full-on sub bass with these. It may be a nice idea to have sort of... I don't know, a 10-inch, 8-inch sub added if you're going to use them like this. Because I've just got them on this Cambridge Audio HiFi. Now what I've done, I've got the volume full max on the HiFi amp. The reason being is set that full volume and then I can just use the volumes on the XZ. So if we...

4:19 A really nice, bright sound

There. All right, that's all I'm gonna play. A really nice, bright sound. As can be expected. This is a compression driver, all right? That is a very big compression driver. I mean, not massive, super massive. But for the size of the cab and for what you want, that is stunning. And if you... You know, again, I must reiterate, you know, if you want full-on bass, then don't bother. Alternatively, if you like the sound, if you can maybe get some demo somewhere, all you need to do is add a bass cab. Now these aren't ideally meant for home use, but I thought sod it. I'm gonna stick them in and use them for home use because I love it. They're absolutely amazing. So once again, the TNA 2051 there from H&H Audio. I will put information in the description and I hope that was a help.

So let me just do that again. Okay, so let's put that up.

Okay, there you go. Thank you for watching. Practice and enjoy.
