Porter & Davies
Jay Weinberg has been using his BC2 on tour and this is what he says: ‘The Porter & Davies BC2 has revolutionised the way I feel the impact of my drums, in the best way possible. As someone who loves to feel the rumble of a strong subwoofer on a tight rock club stage, I’ve often found it difficult to replicate that physical sensation on larger stages, without boosting my in-ear monitor volumes to compensate for the lack of impact. The BC2 tactile monitoring system gives me the low-end response I love to feel — no matter the stage conditions — allowing me to listen to my in-ears at safer volumes. Thank you P&D for this amazing device that allows me to feel more connected to my instrument than ever before!’
