    Sound f/x Cue Playback Software

    From the makers of QLab is QCart. It is absolutely worth the $100 price tag. I would never use anything else. I am not sure if they offer any of the rental options like they do for QLab, but it might be out there.Here is a link to the website. http://figure53.com/qcart/We use them a lot...

    Auditorium Fire at Dallas-Area High School

    Wow, thanks for this. Just heard about this today and I live in the metroplex. Who knew that we were dealing with these kinds of challenges in the high school sector.

    JBL SR4722 Power Ratings

    It normally means per channel. There are a couple QSC amps out there that have one power rating on channel one and a different rating on channel two. In this case with the XTi it is per channel. Hope that helps.

    What is a patchbay?

    Uh - no - I am not the world's gift to engineering. I do know what I am doing. But that doesn't make me the worlds gift. Secondly - JBL does suck and that is all I was saying. Third - I don't ONLY use Meyer - I also use KV2 audio at times and some EAW and Nexo Geo too. But I mostly use...

    JBL SR4722 Power Ratings

    A good amp to look at would be Crown XTi. You should be able to find them around 450-700 range. The XTi 4000 is capable of 1200 watts at 4 ohms. Not sure what this amps sells for but the XTi at a local dealer here was $489.00 at our cost. I figure that in most dealers you can get it for...

    JBL SR4722 Power Ratings

    No it isn't. Since 1200 watts is all that is needed. I guess it is up to them - if they want to listen to a teenager or a professional. All that is needed is an amp capable of 1200 watts at 4 ohms. It is fine if there are a few more watts.

    JBL SR4722 Power Ratings

    Giving the speaker more power to "protect" it is actually not exactly what you are doing. I typically pick amps that are a few like say 100 to 200 watts over the specs - and then back the amps down a bit - this is more to give the speaker headroom and protect the amp - more than the speaker...

    What is a patchbay?

    That is correct - assuming the following.... The channel on the patchbay is tied to the tape deck inputs. Then you would be able to take a channel - again assuming they are connected to the patchbay and tie it direct into the tape deck. This is possible with a patchbay - but not...

    Which speaker is loudest... a test.

    I did bear that in mind - that is why I recommended looking at the KV2 audio. I never recommended Meyer. Secondly - I also gave my opinion about JBL - therefore leaving it to be understood that I would sell them. So - since I didn't really make it all that clear. I WOULD SELL the JBL...

    Cant find a particular type of snake.

    You should be able to find this pre-made. Hosa makes some of these - but not exactly the best quality. You should also be able to get a local A/V supplier to make something up for you.

    What is a patchbay?

    First off - I was not talking to you. I was talking to Curlz. Second, I work in this industry professionally. I further have a doctorate in music production and accoustical engineering. So I feel I have a good bit of information to offer.I apologize if you are offended - but Curlz was...

    What is a patchbay?

    First off - you are only 20. You have a horrendous attitude and you have not explained very well. You have told him that a patch bay has 1/4 male plugs - IT doesn't. It has 1/4" female plugs. Secondly - if you are using industry standard ADC patch bays... they are really not true 1/4"...

    Which speaker is loudest... a test.

    I personally don't like JBL. In fact I actually hate them - but I also run Meyer sound and prefer them by far. Of course Meyer is extremely pricey for most people.I would personally highly recommend your looking into buying KV2 audio instead of anything else in that price range.Take care

    Which speaker is loudest... a test.

    Being a huge Meyer fan. (That is all I use and allow on my show sites.) I really like the KV2 audio stuff. I believe it is by far the best sounding box on the market next to Meyer and Nexo. I have even heard of a few places tearing down Meyer Milo lines for some KV2 ES 1.0. I don't know...

    What is a patchbay?

    The most common form of patch bay in auditorium installations is a mic line patch bay. It's purpose is to take all of the mic XLR plugs (typically located in floor pockets) and tie them into one place. Then the other row on the patch bay ties all of the channels of the snake to one place...
