You may want to try the same type of horns on one side and the same type subs on the same side as well. Douglas R. Allen

Although this post is close to 10 years or so old thanks for the report. I didn't know these amps were still around. Certainly not new. I'll have to look into it. Doug

I have a 2003 O1v96. Purchased it on a pre-release sale for $1795. Best small mixer I've ever owned. Own a M32R with stage boxes now but this mixer looks good for the 16 and under kind of shows.

I see the DM3 is out. DM3"S" or standard or DM3"D" with Dante. Not bad at all for the 16 and under XLR jobs. Douglas R. Allen

I haven't looked at Yamaha mixers in years but in general looking around this morning I found a picture of a Yamaha DM3. Has this been out for a while and I've missed it? Looks to be 16 channels and has a compact size for smaller jobs. Can't seem to find a manual either.

I'm guessing a crossover but hard to tell with the picture quality. 2nd guess would be a reverb of sorts.

The IG4T is 100 degrees L/R and 20 degrees up and 70 degrees down. As I'm sure you know that on the outer fringes this is not a ruler response. SPL drops at the outside edges and top and bottom of the horn as with all speakers I've measured with Smaart. It is also frequency dependent in relation...

Honestly when the install calls for directivity control, certainly in the horizonal area, columns are often used depending on room. I wonder what kind of "cute" columns you've heard? Gemini's? Low budget ones are, like other types of speaker designs, not the best. When you look into the Db...

I've been using IG4T's and IG2T's for some time now. The throw is as good if not better than a standard 15 or 12 and horn and should you stack IG4T's or IG2T's the coupling is great. I see no reason to go back to a "standard" box as with subs these work better for me. The light weight and slim...

The best way to think of "Out 1-16" is a patch bay. You assign what you want to these "numbers" and how you want them to go out in relation to the Master Faders, Pre/Post fade,eq etc. Then different sections of the desk "Patch In" from these numbers. Your Compact only has 8 out so the other 8...

From time to time I'd go over to the live sound group at Harmony Central. Taking a look today it seems the whole site is gone? At one time it was thriving, but I guess it's time has come. Douglas R. Allen https://www.harmonycentral.com/ EDIT: Looked this afternoon and it's back.

It's important to note the 2 added outs are not "Balanced Outs" but "Unbalanced Out". You would not want to run these down a long run. 20 feet or so may be ok. Also, if you go from this to an amp the channel that used Pin 3 as Positive it would feed an amp that way but polarity reversed if the...

The Ghost of Paul Revere has had their trailer stolen in Colorado. I've worked with them and a great bunch of guys. If you happen to see or hear anything about it could you let them know? Thanks! Douglas R. Allen https://www.facebook.com/ghostofpaulrevere

6 year old thread but good to know!
