[QUOTE="Jamin Lynch, post: 32200, member: 95"] Re: Si Compact 24 I did my first job this past weekend with the new Si compact. It was a benefit for a fellow musician. There was supposed to be 1 band and an acoustic act. Not a big deal. I thought I had it down pretty good. I found out after I arrived there would be 4 bands, 2 acoustics acts, an auction, and I was to supply all the break music. Holly crap!!
