Dave Rat's 120,000 Watt Relaxation Chair

This is the fastest I’ve heard Dave talk! In his videos his words are typically slow and meticulous with how he speaks, very intentional.

Dave is absolutely one of the innovators of our industry. In a time before you couldn’t go to the store and buy what you needed, Dave was inventing and fabricating. 😉

Congratulations Dave on your award!! ❤️

I've been following Dave for as long as he's been on RUclips. This was very enjoyable, thanks!

Miss my engineering days. I’d love to learn more with these folks. Looks like they know what the hell they are doing. Great shirt too.

I saw that that Fleabass and that was all I needed to see

the smile as he yeah yeah yeah's about human tests.
your it son😂strap in.

The fallacy of the sub in the pistol 😂😂

That would make for amazing VR experence

Thanks for a look.

Cool setup and video.

Thank you for the video.

Dang, 50 yrs ago, working there would have been a dream job!!!!

I yearn for that chair

Excellent ⚡️⚡️

LOL! That's one impressive setup.
I guess it would be even better for actual good recordings and not commercial film mixes, with all their dynamic compression and distortion
- where also the low frequency parts is mostly faked (that's why sounds like a pistol shot may have bass - they try to add "punch" to it, even after removing most of their dynamic range by compression. Other sounds that's naturally rich in bass, like for example a big rumbling V8 or ship engines, usually have the bass removed instead, as the film makers "don''t think it's an important sound"). Anyway, really nice collection of sound equipment he had there as well.

Dave Rat built different 😭🙏

I want to work there

wow ime loving this vid ive worked alot of gigs over the last 20 years but on the security side of it .however i am very interested in the logistics of all the other parts of a festival ,ime also 3d printing a version of the smartstage 180 in 1:14 scale to go with an rc truck .could you or would it be possible to do a line array speaker system that works and truss system to go around a pc desktop monitor as i think that would look cool

This is the rig to test the Brown Note conjecture 🤣.

My one regret in life is that i didnt grow up living next door to Dave

Relaxation chair XD

Is this not a reupload of the previous video?

Nice title

what's the spl at the seating position on the lows?

is Dave Rat strictly an open air concert Stage audio?

Hey man young sound engineer here. Saw those krk monitors plus sub on shelf. I'm in south africa and can't exactly afford monitors let alone nice ones. Any deals to be made?😊

It almost feels like a re-upload

How do you do, fellow kids?

120kW! Have you seen the cost of energy in the UK? Paying the electricity bill on that thing would not be relaxing. 😂

That reversed magnet speaker? What type/brand is it?

Has anybody explained comb filtering to this guy?

is this for playing video games?

what about the theory of line array LOL

This was a semi dangerous video I'm realizing after the fact that watching this the second time in planted the seed the first time that I had a 5.1 decoder. Trying to understand 5.1 and 7.1 a bit better that I might help my local 1900s theater I needed to understand how the signal was routing through there recently installed surround sound system. Exacerbated by a recent old movie that was played they only had one channel audio yep the decoder was decoding Signals it was quite interesting. That is until about 10 minutes and when a rhythmic thumping came through the subwoofer and then 10 minutes later would go away.
Turns out when they converted the film to Blu-ray they just did a straight convert including the subsonic low-frequency control signals for left right center panning of a very very outdated quasi multichannel single channel system. There was surprisingly enough low end in the Signal but I decided to turn off the subwoofer amp because it was a little distracting and wasn't adding anything to the film with the extra frequencies.
Which led me down the rabbit hole of learning a whole lot about “Perspecta Stereo” sound something that MGM used on all of their movies between 1954 to 1958.

You think that baby will give you hearing loss?

Wish I could meet da R at
