I don't keep up much with PA things anymore, but I needed to order the instrument cables for the UHF-R belt packs. Went to the Shure site to get a model number. There, plastered on all of the UFH-R products is the "Discontinued" Label. Kinda disheartening...Looks like the line is still listed...

Wondering how to handle a less-than-stellar experience with a show yesterday. It took a week to reach someone with the production company, the contact I finally reached couldn't have been less interested in talking to me if I were selling him needle-point supplies. Then at the show, I woke up...

Hello, all. We need to rent a Sennheiser EW-500-965 G3 wireless microphone system for an artist with a non-negotiable make-or-break-the-show requirement on the rider. Positively nothing else will work fore them Alternatively, the artist can supply the mic-transmitter, but we need at least...

I am saddened more than I can say about the passing of Chris Squire, original and steady member of Yes. He was one of four bassists that shaped how I think about and play bass (he, Rocco Prestia, Larry Graham, and Louis Johnson, who we lost not long ago). No one will ever fill those big...

We have an artist in Jackson, MS who has a new Vi1. They are not familiar with the desk and are having trouble programming. They are passing music through it to the mains, so they've at least gotten that far. If anyone near here can help them, they are more than willing to pay tune and travel...

I hate to sound aggravated, but is there anyone else on the planet that services Lab Gruppen amplifiers? I've had enough of TC Electronics. I've been trying to get a return call or email from them since Tuesday. I don't know if my usual contact is still there (who isn't even in the tech...

We have a Hartke Bass rig in our meager backline inventory and the amplifier has developed a problem. The local repair guy, who is really good, says that parts for this unit are no longer available. Is the factory closed? Does anyone know of a shop capable of repairing these things? I meant...

We've had our first opportunity to use Nuendo Live and one of our CL5s in a live recording situation. The show is being recorded live for later production into a TV show. Getting Dante Virtual Soundcard and Nuendo Live up and running was a fairly straightforward process, considering the last...

Blues musician Bobby 'Blue' Bland has died - MSNewsNow.com - Jackson, MS

Seems appropriate enough.... Geri O

We have several of the ClearCom CS210 base stations that have worked well for years and continue to do so, for the most part... However, we are in need of some small parts, such as the odd channel enable button and switch and other little parts and pieces. And ClearCom is no longer supporting...

Sorry for the Mac newbie questions, but I'm stuck on a particular area... We use a few processors that are controlled via RS232 serial port. And for all these processors, the control software is PC-only, no Mac version available. I've bought and returned 3 Expresscard-to-serial port adapters...

I just wanted to share the recent and excellent service experience with the community on having a LG FP6400 repaired. This was by far the best service experience we've had with TC Electronics. Timely and reasonable rates. VERY reasonable. Thanx again, Geri O

(at my age, that doesn't take much anymore... ) ...from the shitstorm that has blown up over there in just a couple of weeks. I have't posted much lately, but just what the hell happened to cause all of this? I was kinda following along the progress of the new PSW testing, but it...
