    Issues with Multiple Generators Powering Band/FOH?

    I've a fairly remote event coming up and there was some discussion regarding power availability. One of the band members mentioned they have a couple of Honda EU2000i generators we can use if the facility power is insufficient. I've seen this done before, but only when using a parallel kit...

    Smartphone based IEMs exist?

    Have a band telling me another sound guy says be can do IEM audio streams over WiFi to smartphones. I replied I'm not aware of any solutions that can actually stream the audio, but he's certain of it. Have I missed some new tech that can do this? Far as I know it's just the mix you can control...

    First show smashing success; need help with bigger show

    I'd like to thank all of you for your recent input regarding bridging, limiting and setup of my subs with the iNuke nu3000. Show was an indoor bar gig for (maybe) 50 people, in a 15'x50' bar (pretty small). This was my first public-performance/hired show. Everything went amazingly well...

    Who provides music between sets?

    I don't usually do bar gigs, but have one coming where I'll be providing sound for an 80's cover band. Who provides the music/playlist to fill the time between the band's sets? Do you have the band provide it? -- Mitch

    iNuke nu3000DSP outputs when in bridged mode

    I have two 8 ohm subs I'd like to connect to my nu3000DSP as a single 4 ohm load. When running an iNuke nu3000DSP in bridged mode, can I hang one of the subs off each output, or do I need to actually cascade them (in parallel) off a single output? (In other words; do the outputs become wired...

    How to salvage recording from X32 USB recorder

    It is well known that one *must* stop the USB recorder on the X32 before powering down or removing the USB stick, or the audio track will be lost. I don't normally use the USB recorder, so I'm not in the habit of thinking about this, and this past weekend, the urgency to get packed up resulted...

    Shure PSM-300 vs. Senn. EW-300 IEMs

    I'm looking to add a couple of channels of wireless IEM to my teeny inventory. I don't currently have anything wireless (other than that some cheap mics. that let me down). I think I've landed on deciding between the PSM 300 from Shure or Sennheiser's EW 300 radios. For the money (single...

    Recording Electric Rock Guitar with Distortion

    Wondering what y'alls favorite mic (and technique) is for recording electric rock guitar with a good amount of distortion. Guitarist is playing through a Mesa Road King into a 4x12 cab with two Celestion V30s on top and a pair of G12T75s on the bottom. We've been trying a number of positions...

    How powerful generator is needed for this PA system

    I've been asked about providing sound for a local five piece band at an outdoor mall ... where the venue has committed to providing generator power. I'm a little concerned they (the venue, and the band, for that matter) think that means digging up a utility generator out of someone's garage and...

    Shorter extension cords or shorter speaker cables?

    In cases where your passive speakers aren't right next to a source of AC, is it preferable to to run a longer extension cord and place the amp right next to the speaker, or keep the amp near the power source and run a longer speaker cable? In this case, we're talking about a single ~2000 watt...

    Using crossover filters on X32

    Trying to figure out how to use the crossover filters that were added in a recent (v1.10??) firmware update on the X32. I'm having trouble finding any documentation regarding this new feature, and what little playing I did, didn't seem real intuitive (at least for someone as inexperienced as...

    Configuring new board: Routing vocals

    I've been a sound operator at our church for quite some time (iLive), but this is my first time actually configuring a new board (X32). I can say it's given me lots of things to look at next time I run sound at church! So I've been playing around a lot with setting up my new X32. Kind of...

    X32 without expansion board?

    Is there a way to tell, other than the pictures (which might not be current), whether this specific item includes the expansion board? I remember reading something (I think here) that the price on these boards went up over the initial offering, when they started including the expansion board as...

    Behringer EP2000 Amp

    Did some searching and didn't find any discussion, but am wondering if anyone here has used the Behringer EP2000 and has comments regarding it. Supposedly 1000W/channel into 2 Ohms or 2x 750 watts into 4 Ohms. So, would these be a reasonable place to start or don't waste the money?

    Driving stage wedges

    My apologies for this particularly elementary question. The forum description said "hobbyists" and that describes me, so I figured this is the right place. I'm looking to set up an area for my son and his band to practice, but something that would give them more of an on-stage experience...
