Hello All, Time to get rid a pile of gear that I have collected, starting here on SFN before heading to fleabay. I am located in 30317 and will accept Paypal or cashiers check. Send me a PM, email me: info at passbandllc dot com, or text/call my Google Voice number: 404-997-8640 I won't pick...

Hey all, New TV has the ability to strip the raw digital audio stream off HDMI inputs and output them as SPDIF over coaxial audio output (i.e. rca). Does anyone make a simple AC3/DTS decoder with discrete RCA outs? Trying to decide between something like this and a Craigslist receiver.Thanks!

Hello all, I've been extremely busy as of late, and that has resulted in several things around SFN falling by the wayside. I haven't been updating the "how to mix blog" and didn't finish the how to interpret measurement" thread. I also didn't really finish my thoughts on non "flat" tunings...

Hello everyone, Attached is a SMAART screenshot from yesterday's small gig, before I applied any equalization. I had time for four quick measurements of each side of the PA. These were taken with the mic on a straight stand at audience head level. The four traces shown are the L and R averages...

Solyndra, the US's best hope for commercial CIGS solar cells declares bankruptcy, out of the blue. Third American solar manufacturer this month... The guys were a big time operation. Big clean rooms, advanced robotics for packaging, etc. They were planning to expand production into a shuttered...

We've now had a series of structures fall over, accompanying armchair quarterbacking, and too many erroneous things in "print." I'd like to encourage people to get serious about learning the basics of structural mechanics. Your local community college will have "Statics" as a 2000-level...

Full report PDF is here: http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1118/ML111861807.pdf The interesting part, to me at least, is from pp. 32-57. A couple details: The report suggests uprating the station black out (SBO) definition to include not only loss of external and internal AC power, but also...

Posting this because I finally found where to buy this band's music. They are an instrumental three piece, two keyboardists and a (spectacular) drummer, from Tokyo, Japan. I'd call them jazz inspired post rock: Mouse on the Keys Live in Tokyo

Hey everyone, Bennett and I have been kicking around putting together an advanced system tuning class sometime in the dead of winter (early 2012) when work is typically slower for would-be attendees. I should stress that there is nothing written in stone at this point, but we'd like to make it...

Once the U2 show wraps on July 30th, they are evidently going to sell the "claw" stage(s). For anyone involved in sound, lighting, video, or staging, these structures really have to be seen in person. Its fantastically cool engineering. Personally, I want one for football tailgating...

The topic of inventory software was a semi-regular feature on the Live Audio Board for as long as I can remember. The advent of SaaS with HTML/JS interfaces, I feel, has the potential to produce inventory management software that will function well on all classes of devices (e.g. local/remote...

I've spent a fair amount of time over the past year becoming proficient with Wordpress as a CMS for website design. I've still got a fresh VPS to config for more optimum Wordpress page serving, but before I launch into that, I thought I would post a screen capture of the new site from my...

Hello all, Yesterday I called 1and1.com's customer service to change my hosting package (I am moving off of their servers and only using them as registrar). To complete my transaction they needed my account password, which I could not remember as I use LastPass.com to setup website passwords...

Since space management is a regular and important topic in production, I submit this interesting office desk design from the ycombinator discussion board feed: A new minimalist office desk

So, I've got to rent a U-Haul (as opposed to Budget, Ryder, or Penske). Its not a matter of price, but rather that its a one off personal rental (transport of supplies for my wedding) and the other rental houses can't seem to handle our multiple drivers (from multiple states) arrangement...

Before this forum ever existed, Jeff B approached me to see if I would be interested in contributing designs to a DIY audio forum, and I politely declined. Some of the reasons I cited for this were: Desire to be paid for expertise Lack of desire to provide "tech support" for every bad copy of...

Title says it all. The genset is configured with Advanced Devices CLM mini camlok. The lighting vendor does not have mini cam to camlok adapters, and I can't seem to source them locally, so I need to rent the adapters. The genset is wired straight, so either 5 male minicam to female 5 regular...

I am writing this from the realistic position that the nuclear power cat is out of the bag. Perhaps not for future reactors in light of economic considerations, but certainly for all the currently operating plants, as they are not going to be shut down and decomissioned on a short time scale...

For those of you who recognize me from the LAB over its history, you may remember my infrequent discussions of nuclear energy. From those discussions it is generally clear that I am a proponent of nuclear energy, and, with important qualifications, remain so. The rest of this post is not going...

Hello strangers! It appears we have rented a tent for an event (my wedding :D~:-D~:grin:) from a uniquely incompetent manufacturer. Between 7(!) phone calls and 6 emails, they seem incapable of sending me dimensioned drawings in a standard format of their product. It defies description. Their...
