Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences. I will also check with the installer to get a sense of their experience on previous projects. I will mention the shield being grounded at only one end. For this application, the board is a Mackie 1642 vlz4, sending out to some old 15" JBL eon...

Hi, @TimMc this would be installed by a qualified contractor - either through a bid, or the school may already have a contract with a particular vendor. I can try to determine whether there would be a big price difference in the cat6 vs XLR. One thought is that multiple cat6 runs could be...

Thank you @FMEng @TimMc and @jkowtko for your insights. I can investigate those center speakers further. Community makes an R5 that is a subwoofer but looks identical to the full-range version of the speaker. I believe that was what originally installed (subwoofer version) but anything could...

Hi, Looking to upgrade some wiring in a gymnasium. Currently nothing installed, so I run about 200' of sends and returns via analog whirlwind snake to get from FOH to speakers and any mic inputs. Does anyone have experience with analog audio over shielded cat 6 cable? Dave Rat's company...

Hi, I am working to advise my school on a loudspeaker upgrade in a large school gymnatorium. The space is used for both athletic events, PE class, and concerts / graduations. Holds approximately 1,000 people. Room dimensions: approx/ 104 feet wide (the stage wall) and 84 feet deep. height from...

Hi, I will check inside the mic to see if any evidence. It had a windscreen on it for the entire event and the people speaking at the event were wearing face masks at all times, so I don't think it was an issue of condensation. The way the issue came and went was somewhat strange - signal would...

Thank you for the suggestions, I will inspect cable ends and try deoxit. It may have even been the XLR connectors on the mixer inputs - is it safe to use deoxit there as well? The XLR cables I used had never given me problems prior to this, though previously they were used indoors probably 95%...

I recently did a live event where the audio was clean 97% of the time except for a few short segments - anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds, perhaps 5 or 6 instances altogether - where the signal suddenly dropped in level, approx. 15-20 db, and distortion introduced, then the signal would...

I like the ZLX and its bracket. Would you suggest using 2 C-clamps on the pipe grid, then the post side, instead of going through the yoke bracket of lighting fixture, goes through the center hole top and center hole bottom on the main part of that U bracket? I'm wondering whether the hole...

Hi, My school's auditorium recently underwent a renovation. We have a dead hung schedule 40 1.5" pipe grid, 4' spacing. Grid is about 17' above deck. I want to see if it is possible to safely mount two loudspeakers from one of the battens, ideally the one just upstage of main curtain, keeping...

Definitely check what everyone has mentioned thus far. Also, I've found on the G3 Sennheiser receivers that the squelch setting on the particular receiver effects the results (available frequencies) when you perform a "scan new list."
