I send off mics for repair from my theatre every year. If countryman can not repair the element they will send you a new one. As of last year the charge for a new one was $150, solidly less then buying a new one from a retail source. If they can repair the element they will for a lesser...

Yes, more amp can cause a whole other set of issues. I did point that out to Jared555 in my last post. But also like I said we don't have enough information. We don't know the size of the room, the efficiency of the speakers, the type of music to be played through it. Without that and some...

Brad, That is an interesting point you bring up about the “program” power rating. I would love to know the source of that. It makes sense from the other stuff I found, only one mentioned “program”. After our other posts I did some more research and found the following about amp to speaker...

MuseAv, Yeah, "draw" is not the right way to word that I thought of that after I posted it. Thanking you for clarifing though. As I believe you got the idea was that to get the full 1000w of program out of your boxes a different or more amps would be advisable.As far as continues power is...

I agree with the ones before. More info is needed about where and how the cabinets are crossed over. But you are asking a lot of your amp. I am from the school of thought that an amp should supply everything the speaker needs and only be working at about 80 percent to do it. In the current...

I don't think anyone has said this yet but the last time I installed a Clear-com system their manual said that you should not run less than 20awg w/ shield. Most of the companies out there have an installation manual that will tell you what their wire requirments are and suggestions of wire.G

gpforet,We have check but from your post a did go double check. Our biggest issue is the problem of the computer and it not talking on the first try. It just zaps our confidence in the equipment. As far as taking them off our hands we have three units that we are planing on cycling out of...

BLah067I did not watch closely to the post times but I would recommend to go to your theatre with a note pad a do some serious scotting. It sounds like you have only half the picture and it is not going to be possible for to give you much help until you have more info. Start and the...

Thanks Sharyn, I stand corrected, the DI is not necessary. That is a good summation from the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook. ;) By the way Len if you have not heard of or got a copy that is a good book to get. It is starting to get a little out of date but still has loads of valuable...

Live in Marietta. I am the Master Electrician / Lighting Design Intern at the Center for Puppetry Arts.Thanks for saying hi, G

Sharynf, I agree with you that a DI is not to reduce the gain, but you statement that it is just to run over long distances I believe is a little miss leading. DI 's are truly for impedance matching, there is an ohms difference between mic level and line level the DI is a glorified transformer...

Arez, Yeah I have already read that book but that is the kind of stuff I am looking for. Thanks.Derek, Thanks for the info.G

The bank is not nailed down but less than a grand for sure. $500 would be better but we are wanting quality.

Hey, We are running a M-Audio 410 Interface on a Mac Mini running Q-lab. The unit is putting an audible electronic hiss into the signal and if that was not bad enough it has started to fail and not want to communicate with the computer. We are looking to replace it and are looking for...

Hey, I am working on a research project about lighting simulation and pre-vis software. I am in need of sources of articles, books, people that are telling about the software, how it was used in the design/prep process, and what were peoples take on it. I have been looking through some of the...
