Hey all, So, this past fall, I've had a good deal of jaw tension, to the point where I had to start wearing a mouth guard while I slept. January and February have been decidedly light this past year, and as a result, I've had some needed recovery time. During the past two months, I've had...

Hey all, I'm looking for possible solutions to getting both the FOH talkback and whatever I'm soloing in my cue wedge on an M/X32. So far, I've only been able to come up with two solutions: 1. Route the solo output back into the board, then sending both the solo output and the TB to another...

I was thinking of a talk Bob Scoville did a while back on virtual soundcheck, and he brought up that up until then, a lot of people's practice mixing came during the gig it's self. Virtual soundcheck allowed him to continue trying things without the time pressure of having a band on stage. That...

Hey all, I recently A1'ed a gig where the client had a huge aversion to the look of ANY speakers. Unfortunately, the solution that resulted was a pair of Bose M12's. Fun times were had. It got me thinking about aesthetics, though. EAW JF80's and Meyer UPM-2P's probably would have fit the bill...

Hey all, I've been trying to dig through all the specs failing miserably. Is there any real advantage to purchasing a DL153 over a DL16 for a Midas M32R? Best, Rafi

Hey all, Does anyone have experience with the backpacks Pelican makes? Given the varying levels of situational awareness of crew on work sites, I've always been a bit antsy about bringing my laptop on site, but their product seems like a possible good solution.

Hey all, I wasn't quite sure if this belongs in the Marketplace, so Mods, feel free to move if needed. Who/where rents Honda EU inverter gennies around the Boston area?

Hey all, I just picked up a Cyberpower OR1000LCDRM1U for use with my M32R. As I was checking it over, I saw a warning label that the output of the UPS that stated that the output of the device is not sinusoidal and has a THD of 41%, as well as a maximum single harmonic of 52.2%. It also states...

Hey all, I just did a gig with a friend's band this past weekend, and I ran into issues getting the vibes player/BG Vox audible in her monitor. Now, one of the existing conditions is that the drummer plays too loud, so I tried mic'ing very close with two dynamic mics in hopes of trying to...

Hey all, I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I'm between purchasing a full-sized X32 or the M32R. M32R: Pro's Smaller footprint Better faders/knobs Cosmetic "It looks like it sounds amazing!" With the purchase of stagebox, can either be 32ch at FOH, or 16 via cat-5 (ignoring the 32ch box.) Less van...

So, yet again, I've worked with an artist who keeps on asking for more and more vocals in their ears (the only thing in them) to the point where I'm seeing red lights on the transmitter, yet they don't bother to turn their beltpack up, which is running at halfway up. I keep seeing this happen...

Hey all, So, in the ongoing battle of aesthetics with equipment that splits time between corporate and music worlds, I've been thinking of getting form-fitting covers for some of my speakers, which in theory, would eliminate having to break out the sharpie on corporate gigs. What I'm wondering...

Hey all, Has anyone had much experience using the X32's firewire out to multi-track? How reliable did it seem?

Pardon me if this belongs in lighting, but it seemed to straddle into rigging a bit. What is the general line on safety regarding using ST132's for supporting 12" truss to hold lighting while under a stage's canopy? It's been suggested to me, however it didn't feel like the most stable/safe...

So, this is yet again, a personal reminder not to place orders for gear when sleep deprived. I had intended to get a 1560 and ordered a 1650. As such, this item is new in box and completely unused. I'd prefer to keep this local in the Boston/Southern NH/Northern RI region, but if you're...

Hey all, One company I do work for does a fair amount of shows with Spanish-speaking musicians and crews. I've been searching around for something like a translation list of common stagecraft and audio terms to help me communicate better, but my search queries aren't turning up what I'm...

Hey all, my apologies if this may have been covered in the past, but I couldn't unearth any. Has anyone considered coating their K-series speakers with Line-x or equivalent to help deal with the inevitable scuffing? Is this even a remotely good idea, or should I just suck it up and deal with...

Just got the word of this. Truly terrible. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/circus-acrobats-involved-in-bad-accident-in-rhode-island-witnesses-say/

Hey all! I'm doing a favor for a bassist friend of mine and putting a feeler out to the live sound community. He's currently looking for a used CA9 for his bass rig. If you happen to have one in in good condition, please ping me and I'll connect you two to complete the transaction. Thanks! -Rafi

Hey all! Does anyone have experience with the EV TX1122fm monitor wedge, either positive or negative? I got to very briefly say some words through them and like the form factor, but I want some impressions before I go and buy. -Rafi
