    [WTB] 6x Danley TH118's

    I'm in the market for some new subs. My local Danley guy is a total flake and has been bad at getting back to me. Additionally, he doesn't stock any TH118's to hear. So, I'm putting this out there. I'm looking for a price on 6x TH118's. I'd love to get some used ones - but, I know there aren't...

    holy crap, what a nightmare

    Had, what eventually turned out to be, a great gig the other day. But, it started as a nightmare. Local power outage put us 2 hours back. Band shows up late. 13 piece funk band (they're fantastic, by the way), 6 singers all singing leads on different songs... NO SOUNDCHECK. Gah, its been a...

    to biamp or not to biamp

    I am powering a pair of qrx212 with an XTI 2000 in stereo mode. I do currently own a second xti 2000 that's just sitting around. Would it be safe to biamp my 212's with the second xti? Or should I bridge one 2000 into each passive? Or just keep things as they are? I had heard there are some...

    keeping stages clean

    I am coming up on a busy two months where I'll be doing small festival after small festival. Many of these festivals will have very short change overs and about 20+ bands in the day. The last few years, in doing those change overs, my drum snake gets messy and tangled very quickly. I wonder if...

    [WTB] a used pair of yorkville ucs1b

    I have a pair and want to supplement them with a second pair. I have the chance to get a used pair of the regular ucs1's but I want the texture coat. If anyone has a pair they're looking to sell in the north east I'm game. My budget is around 400-450 per sub. [email protected] or...

    running subs off center channel

    I have been running my subs off of my center channel in LR+mono mode on my console. For me, it simplifies things. I just select the channels I want to go to the subs and everything is sent there post fader with no problem. Are there any real drawbacks to doing this that I am not seeing, or...

    strange subwoofer thingie

    So, last night I thought I lost a sub driver. It somehow, magically, between gigs gave out on me. Today I am testing it to find that it won't produce audio unless fed a more powerful signal. So, a loud tap on a microphone as opposed to a light tap. I am thinking this is indicative of some kind...

    [WTR] UCS1 subs and some qrx212 tops in NY in early may

    My current system is made up of a pair of qrx212 tops and a pair of ucs1 subs. I have a small festival with a wide stage... and, if budget permits, I may want to rent out a second pair of each for adequate coverage for the stage. Anybody in the lower hudson valley area have any of these?

    snares... what the dealy o?

    I do mainly bar band sound and teenie festivals. For some reason, though, I can never get snares to carry through a mix without blowing people's heads off with them. And, as a drummer, I hate that. What do you guys do to get snares to sit well? I have an inkling in may have something to do with...

    Mixing side of stage. How DO you deal with it?

    I've almost always had to mix side of stage, but, up until now it's always been on cheapo 90 degree boxes so I can sort of hear what's going on. I just recently got a slamming deal on qrx 212's and my first gig with them was mixing side of stage between the bathrooms and the bar in a crowded...

    ev serial numbers

    I am looking for some information on how ev formats their serial numbers. I am curious when a qrx speaker was manufactured. I have the serial numbers but can't figure out how they're formatted. Anybody know?

    The SM58...

    I don't get it. Whenever I am presented with an SM58 I have to work harder to get it to sound good than almost any other "professional" mic I've ever dealt with. There are cheaper and better sounding alternatives that are just as durable. Sure, I understand that branding is everything and the...

    [WTB] pair of JTR Triple 12x

    Been looking to upgrade my tops and I think I've decided on the triple 12x because it can still be pole mounted unlike the qrx212 or the srx722 which were my other options. If anyone's got a pair they're looking to get rid of PM me I'm more than happy to make a deal with you. I am located in...

    I wonder how many "what should I buy" posts I can make in a month

    I currently run a pair of old Mackie SR1530's and a pair of Yorkville UCS1's down below. I absolutely hate the way the SR1530's sound as they get near running out of gas and I am also tired of their size and shape. At 115lb's each doing shows all alone... that's not fun to haul at 5AM. I am...

    need some recommendations for a 4 channel EQ

    I currently use 2 stereo 15 band eq's for my monitor mixes 3-6 and have been getting tired of hacking away at the signal with such heavy handed eq to get rid of feedback. I would like to find a 4 or more channel eq that can fit in 2 rack spaces and weigh in at less than $300 used I've seen a...

    My first dryhire

    I have spent the last couple years just doing bar band sound, weddings, small festivals, town festival sound and have built up a small name for myself and a bit of a collection of gear. So, every now and again I get people asking to just rent parts of one of my PA's and I just tell them to...

    disassembly of an sm86

    I got my hands on an sm86 for next to nothing 'cus its not passing signal. After messing around with it a bit I'm pretty convinced it would be an easy fix with my trusty soldering iron. Plus, I've got more time than I have money. So, I'd rather not spend the 70 bucks to send it to shure...

    recommendations for a hardy cat5 cable

    Yesterday in the middle of a sound check in the middle of a multistage festival my cat5 cable gave out. Probably should have had an extra, but I didn't. Had to repatch everything with an analog snake I brought just in case. The cable was under a rubber cable protector between the stage and FOH...
