Title: Sophia Electric in Parabee
Post by: RPMac on May 04, 2011, 09:10:33 AM

Is Sophia Electric 300B Mesh safe to use in Parabees?
Seems I remember reading about arcing, but can't find anything searching.
Thanks.

I don't remember if we've heard of any issues with the 300B; I think there were some with the 2A3 which is direct-coupled in the Paramount. In any case, the "soft-start: board, which is not incorporated into the Paramount kits, eliminates that problem.

Thanks, Paul.
I'll give them a try...any issues should be at startup and shut down...correct?
I got the soft start kits for my paraglows...may have to go into the Parabees and get another set.

Update...the Sophia Electric 300B "perforated plate" tubes work fine in my stock Parabees. I have Klipsch Hersey's in a sexy speaker arrangement...had to turn the subs down from the settings with the JJ 300Bs.
