    DigiCo shut down - need insight from regular users.

    This just reinforces now why I don't trust new hires that claim they went to "school for sound" A proper education would involve unpatching absolutely everything from the mic thru to the speakers, erasing the board to factory blank start condition and as a whole class together putting the...

    Beam Clamp Mountable Equipment Rack

    Re: Beam Clamp Mountable Equipment Rack I was idling around in Menard's the other day waiting for someone and I looked up only to be reminded of this thread Brand new store opened a month ago and passed all the proper occupancy inspections. Apparently a wall-rack mounted on a uni-strut...

    DBX 120A Subharmonic Synthsis... anyone Experienced one?

    Re: DBX 120A Subharmonic Synthsis... anyone Experienced one? You can still use a 120 with ported eminence subs, -just have to ignore certain functions... (but seriously, even the higher knob very quickly helps the voicecoil find the backplate on some of my Eminence-loaded reflex boxes)

    Danley SM 80 vs SM 60F?

    Re: Danley SM 80 vs SM 60F? The continuous dB SPL figure is impressive, but the program figure would probably drown-out an atomic bomb! :razz:

    hornresp

    I've been fighting with this "software" for a few days and about to throw my laptop out the window in frustration. Is there anything easier to use out there? I will gladly pay for it. I just want to figure out a simple exponential horn for a 12" Black-Widow that will give me the most 100 to...

    Anybody waiting for a shipment from China?

    It might still be sitting in a field in ND: (BNSF mainline between Williston and Minot a couple days ago.) -It's still amazing to me how in such a flat prairie area people still can't see trains coming and park their oil-industry trucks on the tracks!

    bad install

    I found this hanging in the gym I just did a graduation setup in. There's 7 in total. Done by a "properly licensed A/V design-install firm" like we always recommend people seek when they post on this board. (I really think we are handing that qualification out way too easily!) They appear to...

    Video of speaker playing 61 Hz tone recorded at 60 FPS.

    Re: Video of speaker playing 61 Hz tone recorded at 60 FPS. Each frame appears to be progressively scanned which means the cone has moved between starting at the top of the frame and ending at the bottom, that's what gives it the tilt. Try an iphone on a prop airplane someday, I'm still...

    [FS] Belden wireless antenna coax

    I have 125' of Belden 9913F7 coax left over from an install. RG-8 type large diameter, medium stiffness. (definitely not mic cable but I have wrapped stiffer types than this on stage before) There's enough to make a cross-stage antenna run and a shorter for the near side antenna. I do not...

    Speaker repair/rebuild questions

    I'm just stabbing in the dark here that someone may know some of these DIY repair answers. 1)Does anybody have a good source for reconing parts? I have a hobby of restoring antique radios, speakers and backline and would like to rebuild some speakers. Need shims, glues and generic cones and...

    Just when you thought you saw the worst....

    Re: Just when you thought you saw the worst.... They look quite similar and seemed to be very close in price -are you sure you're thinking of the right connector? nema 14-50, nema 14-60 The 50 uses a molded pigtail whereas the 60 you can buy an actual connector-plug for, still way cheaper...

    2" exit "line array" horn lens?

    Re: 2" exit "line array" horn lens? I was referring to the design that yes the HF is horn loaded, but in a horn that doesn't have a top or bottom surface! In other words, the vertical coverage angle isn't determined by a "horn" type element (such as in the design pictured below) A stack of...

    DIY Push-to-talk switch

    I'm looking to make a momentary push-to-talk switch that handles phantom-powered mics without popping but can also work with dynamics. Is such a thing possible? Was thinking of putting it in a direct-box sized enclosure with an XLR in/out and a large momentary pushbutton on top. Any circuit...

    Proofreading?

    So should I set the LPF at 100kHz? In all seriousness though, good box, great size and format, comes with a bracket automatically, gets stupid-loud -but really wish it had just a wee-bit more low-end. (and how about a 16-ohm version :-)

    Horn theory questions

    Can you make any driver go really low with a specifically designed horn? Such as could I take an old EV 10 or 12 (or something of equivalent midrange performance) and get 30Hz out of it with a horn if you have no size or folding restrictions? -More "in theory" as opposed to actually build-able...

    CL-3 yamaha

    Did an unusual install for me today, 2 CL-3's in a theater. I'm usually the DSP and PA designer and installer so was a nice change to mess with a set of new digital consoles between pulling miles of cat-6 infrastructure for the Dante snakes. Been out of touch with Yamaha for the last year and...

    Plywood

    Found some 11 to 13-ply "veneer core" birch ply in 4x8 sheets at the "Menards" near me. Not used to that chain of home improvement stores yet, but have never seen anything like that type of plywood at Lowe's or H-D. (and from first impressions I liked the store much better than either of those...

    Neutral-Ground bonding at receptacle?

    Was this code 50 years ago? All wired with 2-conductor 12ga, but because I've seen it in quite a few buildings around here I was wondering if it was code at one time for 2-prong to 3-prong conversions or something. Although it could have just been the same "electrician" I guess too. Wouldn't be...

    Football

    What's better for a small-town highschool football field system: End zone or distributed? There's also no enclosed press booth or under bleacher location for a rack and the place sees really nasty winters so was wondering if high-wattage 70V is acceptable for very long speaker lines from a...
