Please join the group if you're a TVI Audio owner, they've gone out of business. I'd like to compare notes on parts, maintenance, etc... https://www.facebook.com/groups/900121313800258/

No, apparently the MSRP is $1800. Unless the Mandela Effect has occurred, I remember them being around $7-800 for many years. In fact, my friend who used to work for a dealer, told me he paid about $650 for the ones that I eventually bought from him. No worries though, I've located some good...

Anyone know why Peavey's prices seemed to "double" from just a few years ago on the QW Monitors? I remember when they were going for $799 brand new and today they're $1,359?? In fact you can find old web links from vendors where the preview shows the old price, but when you arrive at their...

What's the proper procedure on the P&G channel faders? Very little info is available online...I haven't done anything yet, but I do have Deoxit F5 and F100.

Does anyone know what size battery goes in the Master Section of a Heritage 3000? I'm not doing surgery until I'm actually ready to change it. The voltage was a bit low last time I was in there cleaning and the console is not remembering anything if it hasn't been on for a while. I tried calling...

Saw RHCP at Jazz Fest in New Orleans yesterday....A+ 100 on the sound

I was on Alibaba and noticed a fair amount of pro audio knock-off gear. Anyone tried any of these QW clones? I don't know how much they want for them, but I had some cheap speakers stolen from me that I sometimes rent out for DJ rigs and the like and thought this looked interesting...

My VCA section has died in my Allen & Heath ML console, all of the analog audio circuits appear to be working fine. The U.S. Distributor for Allen & Heath said that repair would be the only option for them as this part is no longer made (very disappointing IMO). Does anybody have an extra one of...

Wow! what a great package deal LOL! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Peavey-Versarray-212-Dual-12-Loudspeaker-w-PVi-8B-Mixer-2-Mics-2-Cables-/131336932600?pt=US_Pro_Audio_Speakers_Monitors&hash=item1e944a8cf8

If I know some of the people here, ya'll are ready to pounce on me. :) But you should know that I now own an M7 that I'm using for monitors. But back to the topic at hand, I noticed in the October edition of Pro Sound News that Dierks Bentley and Eric Church are now carrying Midas Analog at...

What's the best/safest cleaner to use on the push button auxiliaries on the Heritage 3000? I've got some over on the far side of the console that are tough if not impossible to push. We rarely use more than the first 4 as this is a FOH console, but I would like to keep everything working...

I've created a Facebook group for people to post pictures of Analog FOH setups. Sure they are becoming less and less frequent, but hey some of us still like it. Join and post your pics if you like: www.facebook.com/groups/586460901477345/

I received a rider for a headliner (which shall remain nameless) which specified Heritage, PM4000, etc... for FOH Console and also noted "Digital Consoles are a last resort." However, upon advancing the show I learned that they travel with their own SAC System with Behringer Preamps which they...

Ah, thanks Tim. I also found these guys: Artist Representation and Management - Roster which have the bands I mentioned as a matter of fact. We're almost a one stop shop! For several events I have booked the act, made the radio commercial for the show, made hotel/food arrangements, bought...
