Your director is insane and needs to get a grasp on reality. If having 24 stereo separate mixes is a must have (and unless you're the set of American Idol, I don't see why it is), a single console is not the way to go. Rent a second monitor console, feed it with a second split, and for the love...

ULX is outdated and the only real winning feature they have over a comparable Sennheiser system is direct compatibility with Shure capsules on the HH, and a better connector on the bodypack.If they're considering ULX, go with EW300G3, or EW100 if they'd like to save some mulah.

This sounds like an extremely over complicated way of doing things, and is likely a pretty bad idea especially if you plan on training other people how to use it. In a church, it's even a worse idea because of the typically high turnover of volunteers. Specifying a highly complicated console...

Unless you need a 1D (High I/O, lots of mixes), get something else. If you're replacing PM4K's, you likely don't need a PM1D. And I certainly wouldn't rely on trying to use Studio Manager for mixing monitors, especially over an iPad.There are plenty of modern options out there these days that...

:rolleyes:In the TV/Film production world, it's hardly uncommon to see people walking around set with rolls of gaffers and other tapes on tie line clipped to their belt.Hell when I am doing conventions or other events spread across a large area, I will carry around a roll of tape on my belt...

My guess is audio. In the pre-whirlwind days, the 37 pin amphenol was somewhat of a standard for swing snakes, typically 10-pair because 12-pair cable was very uncommon. It's going the right direction as well. This photo is from an old 32-pair stagebox with swing mults on the side.

What you're hearing is known as 'zipper noise' and is a result of the preamplifier's gain stage introducing and removing individual resistive elements from the signal path as you request more or less gain out of the circuit. Because the changes are steps in gain instead of a linear gradient, it...

The GL series of boards from Allen and Heath are some of the most compact "full featured" analog boards you can buy. The Prodesk series from APB is also very compact. As far as digital goes, how much do you want to spend? Yamaha LS9-16 + expander as already mentioned Rolland M-480 Allen...

Why not get a few stock laughter tracks and play them back on cue sitcom style?

Are you running full duty sine wave into clipping on a regular basis? If not, you're never going to see a sustained current consumption of anywhere near that. You would be surprised on what you can run off of a single 20A breaker. In a pinch I have run a small outdoor festival off of a...

I recently did an install in a retirement community where we updated the AV facilities in their multi-use rooms and common areas. Part of the facility includes a 350 seat auditorium, which received a very nice 10,000 lumen 2K projector and a full 7.1 surround system. All the surround processing...

There are a number of other solutions out there, but I don't really see the function on having LCD touch panels if all you're controlling is audio. You should go into more detail about what exactly you would like to accomplish.

There are also microphones that have a five pin male on the bottom, and use an identical cable to break it back out to 2x male 3-pin XLR's, one for each element.
