One of my continual bugbears is how rotten all the photos we have of our gigs look. We're trying to redo publicity and website at the moment and really struggling to find shots that convey what we do. I try to take photos using my iPhone, some come out OK but lots don't, and in any case I'm...

I've got a little job on at the moment with a smallish church who are refurbishing. They have two pairs of Bose 802s, I think they're Mark II cabinets (they still have the "nozzles" on the front and are jack inputs rather than Speakon). I've managed to steer clear of 802s for most of my career...

First time posting in a while but I've been lurking faithfully... We've got a small rig of 8 x Meyer UPA1c and 6 x USW. It's done us well and the ROI has been good. However, there have been problems at a couple of recent gigs where the rig has been used for electronic dance music. The...

Hi folks, First time posting in a while but I have been lurking faithfully. At a recent gig, I had a band flung on stage who were a major "challenge" to get monitors happening for. The line up includes a full acoustic drumkit, electric backline, and a cello and violin. The strings have...

Over the last few years, the audio item with the highest return on investment in our entire inventory has been the humble Mackie SRM450. We do quite a lot of dry rental to DJs and up and coming bands and they have proven extremely popular. Some of our stock is beginning to reach the end of its...

We're looking into Capsule CRM as a way of keeping track of customers and jobs. Looks like it will solve a lot of problems for us, but I'm curious if anyone else is using it or has considered it? I'm sure there will be issues that arise in a production environment which aren't obvious in more...

Interesting gig the other night. Smallish venue, seats about 600 or so. Roughly split 50/50 between a large balcony and the space downstairs. The mix position is right underneath the balcony. It was obvious that the lower frequencies weren't getting under there. There seemed to be a uniform...

At a lot of our smaller, Lounge-level gigs, there's quite a lot of pressure to speed up rigging and derigging. One thing I'm thinking of doing is making up sub-multis which have power, speaker lines, and XLR lines all loomed together. The idea is to drop one at each person on stage, and just...

We've got six Meyer USW subs in hire stock. They are the older, unpowered version. The foam is held onto the outside on the grilles by essentially a heavy-duty velcro strip. The velcro hooks into the foam, but what we're finding is that the foam snags easily on the flightcases and some of the...
