Hey all, How many of you get a call about 1x a year from Sweetwater, courtesy of a new rep that is overseeing your (zombie) "account." I always feel bad for these new reps, who are trying to revive my business with Sweetwater after I bought [something not memorable] in [(present time) - (5+...

This is a pretty neat video. These guys made a 2D Rubens tube, really a Rubens plate. A pretty fascinating way to see modal behaviors in a 2D system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2awbKQ2DLRE

Hey all, Over time I've experienced a conceptual divide when guiding people through some of the basics behind wave physics, usually in the context of measurement. Some people quickly start dealing with wave length, group delay, and phase angles in their heads, and others are missing a speedy...

A wood-fired floating hot tub / boat hybrid: HotTug Awesome, crazy, both?

...Restoration of an old Weber Genesis 1000 gas grill. I purchased the grill for $65.00 from a yard sale. This unit had the full stainless steel internals that were in decent shape, the lid porcelain coating looked pretty good, and most of the other bits seemed in reasonable condition: First...

Hi folks, Need to scare up a couple of powered subs, say a couple of single 18s. Used only please. Let me know what'd you like to ditch.

Hey all, I'm working on an upcoming FOH article that's about a peek "across the desk" about engineering products for the industry. Originally the article was going to focus mostly on navigating compliance issues (UL, CSA, etc.), but it has expanded to talk more generally about various aspects...

Hey all, For a number of reasons, I'm going to sell the little Presonus 16.4.2 at church and replace it with something else. When I originally considered boards, I went for the Presonus over an 01V96 for several reasons, three of which were perceived ease of use for other operators, iPad...

All, I stumbled across this today, and I thought it is a nice visual representation of what Fourier was driving at. Hopefully it can be an "AHA" for people for people who are trying to understand these concepts: The smooth motion of rotating circles can be used... - Maths and Science blog- matthen

In light of the persistently short-sided policies regarding linking exhibited on PSW that resulted in others' posts being removed, I voluntarily removed a post today and transitioned it here. Hopefully it is helpful for those looking to learn some of the vocabulary from the NEC: --- The code...

For those of you who use smaller generators (e.g. the Honda EU6500-series) this is a relevant bit of electrical code information. It comes from my tracking for multiple months now on generators for entertainment use as a result of authorship of a series of article on portable generators for FOH...

Hey all, looking for a smaller diameter version of this: A10 - Split Single Socket Tee Kee Klamp Fitting - Simplified Building, Kee Klamp, Railings, Connectors and Structural Solutions, Trying to finish adding supports to some schedule 40 based furniture pieces, and i need a kee klamp, or...

Can anyone recommend drawer slides for deep drawers. I've never bought this hardware standalone before. I'd be especially interested in quality hardware that does the "soft close" thing you see in things like kitchen cabinets. Thanks!

Hey all, Thinking ahead to the holidays, and considering asking for a non-DSLR camera. Local photographer Zack Arias (Photography By Zack Arias) has steered me towards the Fuji line. He swears by the X100s, but the new X20 is more appropriate for my level of use. I'm drawn to the look, the...

Hey all, I did a good amount of TIG on mild steel, nickel, and titanium in graduate school. We had two TIGs, a "traditional" and an inverter unit, both nice and expensive Millers. I'd now like to buy a hobby level MIG unit, primarily to work with mild and stainless sheet, tube, or u-channel...

Does anyone have recommendations for hobbyist PCB house? There are a whole bunch of options (e.g. ExpressPCB), but I welcome first hand experience. I'm putting together some motor controllers and/or a buck converter. Nothing fancy: small 2 layer boards, silkscreen and soldermask, SMT or through...

Your smallest subwoofer. You probably have several and they probably stay busy. When you aren't happy with it, what is the most common reason. Poll is below!

By Riley Breckenridge, drummer (possibly turning drum tech) of the band Thrice: This an example of how to get to the end of the run as a touring band gracefully, and figure out what might be next: Riley Breckenridge's Everything In Its Right Place: The Other Side of the Curtain

Everyone, Since power distribution is such a big topic for the industry, the FOH editors have given me a little breathing room to do a multi-part article on generators (at least 2 parts). Part one is very much in the NEC (sorry in advance for being USA centric). So, with that in mind, what...
