[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 125353, member: 2826"] Re: X32 Discussion Some time ago I posted about using the Producer, and Scott Bolt asked how I hold up the iPad. Things have been a little hectic since, and here is finally a reply, along with a couple of unrelated items in the same post so I don't run up the post count. I hope Christian can snag the honors and respect that will surely come from being not only what I assume is Mr. #1 as well as Mr. #10,000. Here are a few pictures of the case combo holding the Producer: [ATTACH=CONFIG]153690.vB5-legacyid=10472[/ATTACH] The first one is a side view of the top of the assemblage. It's one of the SKB popup mixer racks bolted to a 12 space SKB rack bolted to a casterboard so the whole thing is lifted/moves as a unit. The Producer's headphone jack is unfortunately placed below the armrest on its right, and so is unusable with this kind of rack, since as you can see it barely fits in. There is no space for a straight TRS plug, but a right angle Neutrik just barely fits in. You may be able to see a panel TRS jack mounted on this side of the top case, in a recess of the case below the latch. [ATTACH=CONFIG]153688.vB5-legacyid=10470[/ATTACH] Here is a front view showing one way to mount an iPad. It is a Monoprice stand and a couple of clamps. [ATTACH=CONFIG]153689.vB5-legacyid=10471[/ATTACH] Closeup. It is this guy: [URL]http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10843&cs_id=1084305&p_id=8263&seq=1&format=2[/URL] They have been real good stands. I'm going to change this, though, for the summer shows. [ATTACH=CONFIG]153693.vB5-legacyid=10475[/ATTACH] Here is a little iPad shoulder bag to solve the problem of how to secure the iPad when doing outdoor shows in the middle of a crowd while still being easy to unsecure and take with you when moving around. It is this one: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7RT5OA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#[/URL] Not sure how long it will last, but so far so good on two or three shows. It's easy to grab it and walk. I just made a sun shade for the console out of some smaller clamps and a chunk of gaff-tape covered sheet aluminum (very thin and light), and the iPad case's strap kind of fits over and around the shade and will grab to the console case with a clamp. The shade seems strong enough to hold up the iPad in the shade, and the little squeeze clamp promises to make it real easy to install and remove when leaving the console.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]153691.vB5-legacyid=10473[/ATTACH] This Producer will be used at a couple of outdoor series, some shows of which are under 16 inputs and some shows are over 16 inputs. To accommodate that, there is also an S16 in the rack mounted backwards so the inputs are all on the same side as those on the Producer, connected by a CAT6 cable with Ethercons.
