    SRX 800 - the real deal?

    It's been a while since SRX was considered top notch, is this the final move towards a purely MI product, or can we expect some long-needed magic from JBL? (I already decided I want them, and desperately hoping they'll blow me away :nod: )

    Anyone recognize this spigot?

    Hi guys, I bought a 300/250 mm rig without any papers or markings, most likely produced in China, and have a shortage of spigots and some other parts. I'm aware that the rig isn't legal for most uses since it's not certified, but would still like to make it complete for my application (no...

    The bypass effect

    Hi, I was at a concert the other day, and noticed that the soundperson pressed a button labelled "Bypass" on a box with lots of faders. The sound instantly got a lot clearer, with less mud in the bottom and no icepick-thru-the-forehead at 2.5 KHz, but he switched the effect off again after a...

    Green technology?

    So I had to replace a led bulb today after roughly 2500 hours. This lightbulb replaced a 20W tungsten bulb that would have consumed 50 KWh at a cost of roughly $6. The led bulb cost roughly $20 more than the tungsten bulb, so I'm $14 down. Now, to pay me wages of $14 net, my employer have to...

    Emergency/panic mute?

    First a confession; I really screwed up the other day, here's what happened: Setting up a show on my PC for a Behringer X32, I set the monitor sends to unity, making several scenes with different mute patterns and effect settings. I routed the monitors through some matrices, again (foolishly)...

    Overtime

    Lady Gaga’s ex-assistant Jennifer O’Neill given green light for overtime case. I guess the days are gone when one would just quit the touring life and put it down to experience. "Crappy work if you can get it" :twisted:

    Subs, what to do if you lack excursion?

    So, I've got a few dual 18 reflex cabs that take up too much space compared to what they are capable of. I'm thinking I could maybe rip them apart and build some boxes using four elements in each box, preferrably using the existing boxes (60x60x120cm, 2x2x4ft) The elements, Eminence Omega Pro...

    What to put in your Marshall fridge?

    Came across this today: ironmaidenbeer , must be the stuff to fill your marshallfridge with (yes, it goes to 11). Are there other obvious or not so obvious candidates? Sorry to everyone that clicked this subject believing it was about what elements to retrofit in a Marshall cabinet :D~:-D~:grin:

    F*** off, this is a soundcheck not a bleedin' rehearsal!

    Rant: Sometimes you just want to tell them to f*** off, and today was certainly one of those days. 10 piece choir/soloists plus a handfull of actors, shouldn't be too bad, should it? Even had the soundcheck scheduled with a line check/individual voicing and monitor levels before a run through...

    Macbook Air + Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-adapter for audio?

    Anybody tried the combination of Macbook Air and Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-adapter for the more troublesome audio applications that only seems to work with the "good" firewire ports (ie. apple firewire 400/800 and TI chipset pc firewire ports?

    Digital Wireless in the 2.4 GHz band

    Anyone using the offerings from Line6 and AKG? One of the main distributors here in Norway have discontinued the AKG DMS70 system from their line because there are too many challenges with running that system in the 2.4 GHz band, they are still carrying the DMS700 so that system is obviously...

    Why is left channel louder?

    Insane question, but I seem to allways have more program material in the left channel from prerecorded backing, music fom MP3, CDs, you name it. I have allways assumed it had to do with my hearing and small irregularities in the equipment I'm using, but here is the funny thing: Playing throug a...
