    Audio South Boston area

    Checking on viability, have a wedding on the 26th of this month with an 8 piece band in a 30x90 tent. I can truck our gear down but would be open to hiring locally. Would need decent gear, small and capable of getting loud would be great. 8 mixes of SRX712 or equivalent with appropriate power...

    Qsc pld

    These have been out for a bit, is anyone here using them? I'm looking at the 4.5. Any comments? Do they work well on subs as well as full range? Looks like a good package on paper, but reliability is a concern. Thanks! Matt

    Router for Soundcraft Expression/Performer

    I have two routers that travel with me for iPad use, metering doesn't work with either with the latest SC update. Having issues with the UDP thing, they're Linksys which according to SC support is not a good thing. So what router are you using that works? Best range and speed being...

    ADAT/Optical Expander

    I got a Presonus 1818VSL thinking I could use it as an expander. Apparently this device only functions when attached to a laptop. Anyone know of a device that takes optical ins and outs and converts them to analog?

    What the h=€£?

    What is up with these things? I had a bunch two years ago, and this is the third in two weeks. Making a comeback? And whose dumb idea is this, anyways?

    Things that make me go, "hmmmmmm".

    In the last couple of weeks, I've had a Governor and the CEO of a huge corporation at different events. Guess which had tighter security (and protesters)?

    Replacement Lamps Source?

    Where do you get replacement lamps? I've been using the same place for a while. The last batch I got said "GE" all over them, but lasted about 20% of rated life.

    Danley TH-Mini Users ?

    Question for TH-Mini users: What is the "biggest" event you have used a pair of TH-Mini for? I have some but have only dared use them for corporate stuff, playback things at sane volume, drum fill, etc. I would like to use them more 'cause they're small but I'm being a big chicken about it...

    OK, THIS pisses me off.

    When a company's rep tells me I need to place a custom color speaker order two weeks in advance. So I place order two weeks in advance of install date, and then get an email from the company telling me I need to pay 50% deposit upon order and remainder on SHIPPING. I have a signed contract with...

    Deposits?

    Has anyone had a client refuse to pay a deposit upon signing a contract? Clearly spelled out in the contract, " x% deposit due upon signing, x% due upon equipment delivery, remainder due at completion". Now it's time to sign, client would like to pay equipment as delivered, billed weekly (!) for...
