Check out this post over at SoundYork. A very nice blog. Very cool Ubangi system. SoundYork also first posted some of these pics. They are some of the best I have been able to find of the Ubangi.

ReplyDeleteThank you for linking. I linked, too. I am glad to meet you.
ReplyDeleteHi Iain.
ReplyDeleteGood to see someone who appreciates fine
technology. Back in the 70's - 80's I had
a small sound company in eastern Pa., and
we used 8 Ubangis as our all-out system
bottom end. I can tell you they as good
sounding as they are hell to cart around.
18 ft. truck with lift gate minimum just for
them. For a shot of one of our stacks at a
Jerry Reed concert we did in '83, checkout:

Sold them when the live concert market turned
sour in the 80's. Still miss them.

those are my Ubangi's in the photo. I have them in a 21'x21'x9' room. The horns have been chaanged to a pair of Tratix horns with Altec 288C's, and powered by a pairof Altec 1570 B's refurbished and Improved jby Tom Tutay. Easily the best sounding audio system Ive heard, including Wilson Alexandrias (awful), Magnapan 20.1's (nice but difficult), and Khorns (also nice but a bit fatigueing in the highs. None of that fatigue in these, and the only system Ive heard to date able to recreate the full wieght of a ful symphony orchestra. Anyone wanting to hear them is welcome...Im in Charlottesville Virginia, about 2 hours ssw of Washington DC.
ReplyDeleteVery cool I hope you don't mind me posting the pics.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm in the area I'll send you an email. I'd love to hear the Ubangi.
