    Shelf on the side of my mixing desk flight case

    Here's a few pics of the aluminum shelf. The plywood one is the same principle but plywood and a skinny rectangular size (good for an iPad stand with a clamp holding one to the other). The first one shows the shelf bracket with a disc of aluminum plate screwed to it with flathead screws. You...

    Shelf on the side of my mixing desk flight case

    I took a shelf bracket, attached (to hold the laptop/iPad) a chunk of aluminum repurposed from another project, put some captive screws in two of the three bracket holes, drilled some holes through the side of a road case holding the rackmount mixer, put T nuts on the inside of the holes, and...

    X32 Discussion

    Re: X32 Discussion Some time ago I posted about using the Producer, and Scott Bolt asked how I hold up the iPad. Things have been a little hectic since, and here is finally a reply, along with a couple of unrelated items in the same post so I don't run up the post count. I hope Christian can...

    Behringer X32 Firmware v3.0 Feature Requests

    Re: Behringer X32 Firmware v3.0 Feature Requests OK, I set up 2 consoles with 2.02, and created a scene on one in which the input routing was screwed up Interestingly and thankfully, the scribble strip shows where you are getting the inputs if it's not 1:1, 2:2, etc. The output patching...

    Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier

    Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier OK, just reread the thread because I didn't recall seeing this issue raised earlier, and didn't see it now, so: Got some of the 4 channel 6000's and the 2 channel 6000's. Used a 4 channel at a very low volume show the other night, and it worked great and...

    Re: iPad Connectivity Regarding the regular freezing of the iPad screen that has been mentioned here periodically, after some searching I found a pdf titled "iPad Tips and Tricks" which, in its very last paragraph after 12 pages, mentions this freezing. It recommends a hard reset, and here is...

    Re: iPads The above post about iPad connectivity reminds me that I did a reggae band at a wedding a couple of weeks ago where the FOH position was in front of a major doorway, and there was not room to put the X32 there, or to have a snake crossing that and another main doorway. So I decided...

    Re: Monitor Whine Hi All, As I mentioned over the course of a couple of earlier posts, I sent in a console to get the monitor whine fixed, among other things; It came back with that problem unfixed, with the tech saying "problem could not be found"; My monitor guy Matt later sent his...

    More Show Pics Hi All, Here is a show we did tonight with Trombone Shorty, and JJ Grey and Mofro. It was sold out; those are two acts who can really put on a show. The crowd was jumpin' the whole night. Here is a view of most but not all of the field; there are close to 5,000 people...

    Re: Dual X32 weekend OK, Mateusz, you've forced me to do it. Here are a few shows in the last week: This is Randy Newman last Wednesday at my big concert series, for which I've done all 30 seasons. 1 vocal, 2 piano mics, lots of spill back onto the stage from the arrays. I was able to get...

    Re: AES50 Since this forum has devolved again to Cable Talk, :twisted:, here are some measurements I've done for my upcoming workshop of all the snake cables I have access to. I used the Fluke DTX-1800 that I've had for the last couple of weeks, but don't have the cool software/PC like Victor...

    Re: CAT+power-cable test results Thanks, Joe and John, for a most informative webinar today, and for being so open in responding to questions. Proper interconnect cabling is pretty fundamental to reliable usage of the S16/X32 combo, and I will be interested to see how Jan responds after the...
