A tapered rod used for aligning holes in separate components, often truss, so that the components can be bolted, pinned, or otherwise fastened.

Does your teacher have permission to get rid of them? Do they have asset numbers on them anywhere? Things like this are often taken back by the district (assuming this is a public school) to see if any other schools want them. If nobody else wants them, the district then has it's own process...

Is it that someone trusted an ordinary counter with a QSC amp? har har har

Your profile says you're a high school student. Do these belong to a high school? If so, do you have permission to get rid of them?

We've got 24 old brown 75Qs. No major problems to report. You'll be fine with what you've got.

It's a school, everything goes to the lowest bidder. Welcome to the world of education system purchasing! Not surprising that they used speakers that aren't rated for being on continuously, but still disappointing. Do you know the brand of the speakers?The contract still exists, they don't...

What sort of space and sound install is this? Does the venue only have four stage inputs? If not, where do the others go? Were there originally more to the mixer but they later bought 24 channels of wireless? How much money are you prepared to spend if it comes to buying new equipment.

The base station is an MS-702. Typically, to get show audio into the intercom system you run a line into the Program Input. Whatever is sent through that will be sent across the whole intercom system. In an older system, it's usually easy to trace where everything connects. The problem with...

The SPI-2 modules in the Mark VII rack should all have a minimum of 40A SSRs. I want to say some are considerably more, but I can't tell off the top of my head. All I have to reference is one conversation with someone who knew a little more about the units. What I can tell you, from...

I understand wanting to run cues from a computer, but if that's what you're going for, why not run something like QLab? Why does the entire mix have to run through the computer? If the answer is effects, there are any number of external effects processors out there you can buy or rent for...

My question is not so much "what are you trying to accomplish?", but why do you want to do this? Presumably the school theatre already has a mixer. This mixer is designed for the very thing you're trying to do, is already in place, and you won't have to pay for it (assuming you don't already...

Without knowing exactly what effect you're going for, or how the surfaces in the hallway are treated, it's hard to say what will and will not work. However, based on what you've provided and some assumptions about college art installations, I can provide the following information:For a 40...

If you have intercom, plus someone with arms and a little common sense then automating a curtain is relatively easy...

In defense of the Mackie's, our 32-8 is still going fine. A while back our district went with new boards (literally, "a round of Mackie 32-8s for my friends!") and so far the power supplies have been more trouble than any of the boards as far as I've heard. That said, ours is the only one left...

Wow, thanks for the information. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do this, but I'll try to have a look at the unit soon to see if I can confirm that controller is the problem.
