NAD: PRS Archon Classic + PRS 2x12 Archon Stealth

[Warmart]

Well I meant, for the transmitter - I couldn't find its max input dBu spec. I don't want my wireless transmitter to be clipping my signal.

It won't clip. All my guitars put the same level at the receiver and none clip.

Messing around, testing recording the amp.

Turns out the max input is around -3.7dbU, so it will clip for many pickups.

Surprised, I would like to think I'd notice and I sure haven't.

I've been experimenting with mic positioning - I'm just using a cheap USB measurement mic, the Umik-1 but gets the job done.

This one is with my Carvin DC127C with a DiMarzio Crunch Lab

Cabinet is made of plywood.
The back cover is also made of plywood and it's a bit thin. You can feel it moving/resonating when playing sine sweeps.

Cabinet is made of plywood.
The back cover is pretty flimsy (also plywood) and resonates.

Idk about the resonating thing but that looks like a well built cab!

Some impedance measurements of the PRS 2x12 Archon Stealth


Without the back cover



With cover tightened, in the middle of the room, nothing on top of the cabinet


With the amp on top of the cabinet


Applying some manual pressure to the back cover


On the corner of the room, with the amp on top

I had an HDRX 1x12 cab and it was one of the best sounding cabs I've heard, regardless of size. Very well built. Reminded me of a Bogner in construction, especially the way they do their tolex. This cab looks solid, love the staggered speakers.

Pretty neat build - looks easy to mod. Haven't taken mine apart yet.

Have you run anything in the effects loop?

Yes my Axe-FX III.

Yes my Axe-FX III.

Is it quiet for you? I’m getting a bad hum when I even just have a cable plugged into effects send/return, trying to figure out if it’s inherent in the Archon Classic or I just got a bad one.

Mine doesn't have any noise on the FX Loop. Ran the Quad Cortex through it and went great.

Build looks pretty reasonable but so much hotsnot
