Hey, I need some advice on some problems that arose during the live gig I was running sound for tonight.
We have a DBX DriveRack PX, a 32 channel mackie , a crown ce2000 for main house speakers which are JBL. And Altec Lansing 600w amps for subs and highs.
here is my problem, The first half of the show was great, everything was working great, and it sounded awesome. It was a talent show, so there is a lot of acts and after this techno act went off (very bass heavy music) it all seamed to go wrong... First the whole main system went out, the only thing that was working was the stage monitors... So, giving control of the board to my assistant (who wasn't that familiar with mixing live singing and instruments), I sprinted upstairs to the amp cabinet. I reset the power conditioner first. This fixed some of the highs, but I had noo mains and subs sounded like crap... So, Stressed as all hell, I quickly went to adjusting the DBx DriveRack switching to a 2 way system, running it all through horns, and subs. After the show, I put the DBx back like it was, and I can't seem to get anything through my mains! The signal indicators on the amp show that there is signal getting to the amp, but Nothing on the speakers could the amp have blown? I know the speakers are fine, I took the output and plugged it into the backup set of JBL s and still nothing? What does it sound like to you.....
