    Allen & Heath's Advantis Solo is out

    https://www.allen-heath.com/allen-heaths-award-winning-avantis-expands-with-solo/ For those who already have compatible stage boxes it seems like a nice desk and a good price. Douglas R. Allen

    classic rock reproduction

    You may want to try the same type of horns on one side and the same type subs on the same side as well. Douglas R. Allen

    Mackie m1400 amps. Any good? Reliable?

    Although this post is close to 10 years or so old thanks for the report. I didn't know these amps were still around. Certainly not new. I'll have to look into it. Doug

    Yamaha DM3S and DM3D Released

    I have a 2003 O1v96. Purchased it on a pre-release sale for $1795. Best small mixer I've ever owned. Own a M32R with stage boxes now but this mixer looks good for the 16 and under kind of shows.

    Yamaha DM3S and DM3D Released

    I see the DM3 is out. DM3"S" or standard or DM3"D" with Dante. Not bad at all for the 16 and under XLR jobs. Douglas R. Allen

    Yamaha DM3

    I haven't looked at Yamaha mixers in years but in general looking around this morning I found a picture of a Yamaha DM3. Has this been out for a while and I've missed it? Looks to be 16 channels and has a compact size for smaller jobs. Can't seem to find a manual either.

    Please help me identify a rackmount item

    I'm guessing a crossover but hard to tell with the picture quality. 2nd guess would be a reverb of sorts.

    Column speakers systems

    The IG4T is 100 degrees L/R and 20 degrees up and 70 degrees down. As I'm sure you know that on the outer fringes this is not a ruler response. SPL drops at the outside edges and top and bottom of the horn as with all speakers I've measured with Smaart. It is also frequency dependent in relation...

    Column speakers systems

    Honestly when the install calls for directivity control, certainly in the horizonal area, columns are often used depending on room. I wonder what kind of "cute" columns you've heard? Gemini's? Low budget ones are, like other types of speaker designs, not the best. When you look into the Db...

    Column speakers systems

    I've been using IG4T's and IG2T's for some time now. The throw is as good if not better than a standard 15 or 12 and horn and should you stack IG4T's or IG2T's the coupling is great. I see no reason to go back to a "standard" box as with subs these work better for me. The light weight and slim...

    X32 to S32 setup

    The best way to think of "Out 1-16" is a patch bay. You assign what you want to these "numbers" and how you want them to go out in relation to the Master Faders, Pre/Post fade,eq etc. Then different sections of the desk "Patch In" from these numbers. Your Compact only has 8 out so the other 8...

    Harmony Central Gone?

    From time to time I'd go over to the live sound group at Harmony Central. Taking a look today it seems the whole site is gone? At one time it was thriving, but I guess it's time has come. Douglas R. Allen https://www.harmonycentral.com/ EDIT: Looked this afternoon and it's back.

    Soundcraft UI16 Tips

    It's important to note the 2 added outs are not "Balanced Outs" but "Unbalanced Out". You would not want to run these down a long run. 20 feet or so may be ok. Also, if you go from this to an amp the channel that used Pin 3 as Positive it would feed an amp that way but polarity reversed if the...

    Ghost of Paul Revere trailer stolen

    The Ghost of Paul Revere has had their trailer stolen in Colorado. I've worked with them and a great bunch of guys. If you happen to see or hear anything about it could you let them know? Thanks! Douglas R. Allen https://www.facebook.com/ghostofpaulrevere

    JBL SRX815P vs RCF NX 45-A?

    It looks like in this picture the new NX945a have feet. The Nx945a look to be a beast! I wish these were out a few years ago I may have headed in a different direction. 135 db output and under 50 lbs. https://www.rcf.it/en_US/products/product-detail/art-945-a/1643784 Douglas R. Allen

    Midas M32 product lines 10 year warranty gone?

    I was looking around at different Midas M32 products and noticed a 3 year warranty instead of the 10 year that they have had from 2017 or so. Have they dropped the 10 year warranty already? One reason to go with a M32 instead of a X32 is the 10 year warranty. Is that gone? How about all of us...

    JBL SRX815P vs RCF NX 45-A?

    The new Art line looks very impressive. Sadly still no HPF for use with a sub. https://www.rcf.it/art9 The Art 945-A and 932-A look very nice. The 945-A has a 4 inch voice coil horn and the 932-A a 3 inch one...

    JBL SRX815P vs RCF NX 45-A?

    Thanks for the great review... Maybe try a different section? Try Junior Varsity.

    Sound for 300-700 Guests events

    Are you to the point where a delay line in the room or outside would be better? Are the guest complaining or is this something you want for yourself? How are you setting this system up? The QSC are both different somewhat and may not array well together. How are you splaying the cabinets out...
