They were really nice Loud amps, they were supposed to be only 3,600 wrms but they benches at 4,100 average between the two.

It was a Audiocontrol RTA mic placed in the kick. I'd be 3bd down on a termlab but I stopped competing when they started using them. Heres a 153 pic from a night before the comp tuning party.

80% of Alma Gates scores were with AC mics, does that mean she wasn't loud?

Im not saying youre not loud, im saying, any score not used with a tl mic is no good 8) Proven time again the most accurate mic, and the hardest to make loud. I have seen ac mics be 5-6 db louder than on a tl. When someone tells me their score, if its not used by a tl, I dont even pay the score any attention. Anyone in the lanes will tell you the same thing. Its 08, dicth the ac mic :wink:

O I C, these scores are not current, I have not miced this van since 2006, back then RTA was all they used. Meca might have been using the TL but I was running local SLAP. My best on a TL was 151.1.

Don't discount scores based on the type of mic used though, back when competition was fun and innovation and good install/box building skills won shows the ac mic was fine and a lot of legends were mic'd by that standard. Maybe I'm just oldskool. 8)
