[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 84460, member: 30"] Re: Crestron/AMX Installers It is truly sad in our industry. More and more people are knowing less and less. I see systems all the time in which the audio installer simply puts in the manufacturers "presets" and walks away. There is no adjustment for the "system"-as long as each box is correct-WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have even seen systems with NO processing-even on the subs-and the installer thinks it sounds "just fine". DO WHAT???????? I guess as long as it "makes sound" they are happy. I guess they are happy they could get it to "make sound". If one truly understands what all the pieces do, and how to use them, then can do some pretty amazing stuff-with sound systems-control programming etc. But if you just want to take the easy way out-then there will be all kinds of things you can't do. WAY to many people are simply looking for the easy way out and the simple to understand WRONG answers. It is no wonder that the overall quality is getting lower-despite have much better tools than we used to have. But of course in the 'ol days-you had to know what was going on and understand things to get them to work. Now any idiot can go to GC and get a decent sound system-and go and install it wrong-and everybody is "happy" because it sounds like the other crap systems that people are putting in. Sorry to rant-but there are simply to many people in our industry that don't have a clue-AND DON'T WANT TO-that is the truly sad part. [/QUOTE]
