Rob Swallows Posted August 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2016 I loaned out my 3400 watt inverter generator to a very good friend to power his DJ equipment over the weekend. For those into amplified music or public address you know spurious noise spiking is also amplified, and undesirable. He reports back this generator is exceptionally quiet in operation with no noticeable "hum" , or background noise of any type at elevated dB levels. The generator's engine noise being spaced 100' distant, was not a factor but is also very quiet. Basically just as clean of power as provided by the utility company. I also had him take my vintage 1962 Onan 5kw set which is not inverter based, and the reports in this application are good and acceptable, but not as good as the new inverter technology. This same guy is playing my daughter's wedding early next month and given his feedback, there may be another one on my want list. The old Onan set I've had over 40 years and is a really good mechanically quiet unit, but parts are getting hard to come by and it really likes it's fuel.....

Flyinfool Posted August 15, 2016 Share #5 Posted August 15, 2016 Wonder if it got as bad as the local arena with indoor go cart and midget racing on a track about the size of a hockey rink. Nitro and Alky fumes in a confined place.................. sure smelled good. real clad I was on the upwind side and near the open doors............... They only tried that once. I bet it took a while to get the rubber off the floor............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
