    Amp module inside of sub port?

    Hey all, I have a project where I am doing a 12" sub, 600 watts/96db with two satellites. Either 6.5"+ .63", or 8" coaxial. I have an amp module (Marani) to power all of this. I know that the convention is for the module to have it's own chamber, both for heat reasons, and for...

    Marani

    Hello All, I ran into a product at NAMM called Marani. I am posting this in DIY because I wanted to post this to a couple of other threads, as it is of interest to me, but seemed to want it's own thread, so as to not cause too much topic swerve. http://www.marani-proaudio.com/ The first...

    Superbowl Halftime breakdown, with audio critique.

    The halftime entertainment started with some band playing some song, three of the women at the party I was at had played that song in a band together, they stood up and started singing along. Yay! Bruno Mars and some other dancer singers then sang and danced to "Uptown Funk". EVERYBODY loves...

    My favorite Christmas show.

    Over the years I have done a lot of Christmas shows. Mostly I have not cared for the season, the commercialization, etc. But working with the Lower Lights was different. I have been doing their Christmas shows for about 6 years. They are a ~25 piece group, made up of lots of different...

    Rush Concert

    sadly/strangely disappoints, in the audio department. Strangely, because they have had such great sound over the decades. I think that this was the worst sound I have heard from Rush, and this includes the 1977, first time I saw them. Which was stacks of stuff, in a similar arena. Hockey...

    My newest "Get Rich Slow" scheme.

    Yesterday I came up with another "get rich slow" idea. This is an app through with you contact the sound man to make suggestions. The sound man would post his app contact, at the sound board, and if you want to make comments, you must go through this app, which of course costs a fee. So they...

    Interesting (to me) plots with hot water, recirculated

    So our power bills have been higher than expected. We had our HVAC person in yesterday to try and fix a problem with some windows (on motors) that won't stay open, and one thing we looked at was recirculating hot water, or hot water on demand. I asked the engineer about it when the plumber and...

    Too Much Subs

    In reply to a comment about a double 18"not keeping up with a full range box (from another thread, to me this is it's own monster): And an article that was linked for my viewing on facebook yesterday. http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/wp/index.php/time-to-shelve-the-low-end/ I am definitely...

    Is climate change affecting your business/ seasonal schedule?

    Right up front, don't care about any politics, reasons for or against, or causes. Just business implications. And any posts to this end will be mocked and taunted. Is your schedule changing because of temperatures? My busiest month used to be July. I remember thinking about 20 years ago...

    Customer Service!

    I get a call the other day, and the woman starts in that she is from the Cancer Relief Society (or some such name), and I yelled at her, "How many times do I have to tell you not to call here!" And she replied, "But the guy from one of the bands said that you could do our sound". Er...

    Induction Cooktops

    Are any of you using induction cooktops? If so, what is your experience, and which models are you using. I am finding woefully little information from real, or seemingly real users. Any reviews I can find seem more extreme in the puff pieces or just ranting than even usual internet...

    Fun things that Hilti tools do.

    Installing ledgers inside the foundation for the joists to go on. The Hilti guy is always selling my contractor new tools. They do cool things. EG, the vacuum (in the first three seconds of the first link) goes boom, boom, boom. It is clearing off the filter, so that it can keep going without...

    Does this picture bother your OCD?

    On the way home from the NAMM show, this was the scene in my hotel bathroom. Not buggy enough to do anything about it, but enough to go, "I have at least three things wrong with this". I didn't take a shower, just got dressed and hit the road, so nothing new to report to the "Official shower...

    Sigh

    So I don't go out much to hear bands. But I did last week to hear some ska friends from decades past. "Sounds good" "Thanks" "Cam I make one request?" "Sure" "Can you turn up the lead vocal?" "I get that a lot." I'm sure you do. And I did not get any my lead vocal love.
