    So...What are you carrying as a backup mixer? (or are you?)

    Well, I had my first mixer meltdown this weekend during a soundcheck. Fortunately, I was 1/2 mile from the house, so retrieving another mixer was not a huge issue. For the job later in the evening, I dragged the old MixWiz along. I know I dodged a bullet earlier in the afternoon. So...

    So, where do you position your laptop

    Hi folks, Seems mixing anymore is incorporating laptop(s) for one thing or another, i.e., Smaart, lighting, amp control, recording, remote connection to mixer, etc. So, where do you position your laptop? Beside the console, save real estate and put above the console (ala DJ), set up on a...

    Pseudo-intellectual bully with a sound level meter

    Hi Folks, I'm not sure if I'm asking for something from you, or whether I'm just venting. Probably just venting. But if you have something... Background In our little town, we hold a number of festivals that include a stage and music in the town center. Bands either play for free, of...

    How long do your XLR connectors last?

    Hi folks, Well, my pile of XLR cables that need connector replacement is starting to need attention. The venue I take care of has just about anyone and everyone handling the cables - the ones I've taught handle them "properly" but there are others I do not know of. Some more careful than...

    Mutiple Power Taps - Backine Power...

    Good morning, all, I have read a number of postings here as to not using normal Home Despot quad boxes on a cord to extend power for the stage. The general recommendation was those hard rubber - type boxes - from I don't remember who (but I have it in links). I've also read here that one...

    My first blown speaker (sigh)

    Friday night, the woofer in an old EV FM12-2a let go. I'm in the process of doing a postmortem and am looking to do an analysis of cause. What I do know so far is that it is the original EV 12'' speaker, something is rubbing on the magnet, and the voice coil is open. Cone is intact and still...

    Ford Transit Connect

    Anyone have any experience with the Ford Transit Connect for hauling audio gear? With a 1600 lb payload and 135 cu.ft, I'm guessing it may cube out before weighing out. Seems it might be more than adequate for a weekend warrior - at least better than the station wagon. And as a side...

    New and Shocking!

    Good morning, again. Had a guitarist in the other night who notified me he was getting shocked intermittently when he was at the mic - sang with lips touching the SM58 most of the time. I'm not going to say mildly shocked because that can be so very disconcerting to the performer. Any...
