    Horn bass frequency range

    There is nothing wrong with targeting 100 - 400Hz, but what is going to cover the lower and higher ranges? Those need to be covered for most full range music to sound good unless the systems is being used only for instruments or voice that does not go lower than 100 HZ. A lot of voice only...

    Expanding outputs on an M32

    There are also eight auxiliary outs - sort of. There are 4 mono TRS balanced 1/4" outs labeled aux 1 - 4 and, and a stereo 5 -6 that also has RCA outs. The same configuration is available as aux inputs. Aux 7 - 8 only send to (and return from) the internal USB recorder. These are line level...

    Question about basses

    I'm a live a live engineer with many years experience. I truly prefer a signal straight out of the bass through a high quality DI box for most music, but I take what I'm given. I will say I have had post eq bass outputs that made it very hard to get what I consider a solid foundation for the...

    Behringer WING 48 Channel digital console

    All digital boards have a learning curve, but the Wing is definately harder than the M32/X32, in part that is because it does more. At it's current cost its a deal, but as Jan stated, a stage box is needed for more inputs and outputs beyond what is on the surface. This adds considerably to the...

    XLR balanced to 3.5mm audio?

    A USB D to A interface could possibably provide a much higher quality audio signal. The headphone jack's internal amplifier isn't the highest fidelity device. I have several House Of Worship customers that complained about noisy audio for the "tracks" coming from their expensive MAC's. They...

    Recommendations for an analog console

    Just curious because I owned a M3000 with a case that we used as a monitor console. It required at least two people with an EZ Tilt or four (or more) people to lift onto a table. It took up a lot of room that many clubs just couldn't provide. Just one of the downsides for an analog mixer even...

    QSC Touchmix 8/16 shortcomings - can anyone add solutions I couldn't think of yet?

    You may want to add the analog gain without any memory/recall to the shortcomings. That a big one. Yes it does have a recallable digital portion but this has a limited range. I have a TouchMix 16 and use it for some events, but not usually those that require a lot of changes quickly. It's...

    Want to build this sub and need info

    Also keep in mind that unless you were actually hearing both sets of subs with the same source material at the same time and place, the comparison may not be valid. The room (if indoors) and how systems are processed (eq's, filters, limiters) all affect the sound of the sub greatly. A great...

    Low drop ceiling sound issues

    There is a lot of room for improvement. Like Dic, I don't really like the sound of vocals going through 15" speakers, but that being said I have heard carefull EQed 15" systems sound good. The better the quality your speakers are, the easier it is to make things sound good. I would look...

    Powered speaker on a stick for 2020 and beyond

    I'm surprised no one suggested the QSC K series. I had eight (two were stolen - still have 6) K12's in my rental stock since the first year they were available. I had one failure from a faulty wired electrical outlet that QSC not only repaired under warranty but returned to me next day air at...
