XLRs are indeed bi directional, you'll just have to deal with male / female possibly not being as you want as you said.That's for just a cable though. Is there anything else between those two plates in your system? Frequently there isn't but if you had any fancy active hum eliminators, pre...

If you don't have those components around, another very temporary solution is to use the small other audio out on clearcomsI think it's a 3/32' female port on many of their boxes.... It's the size of many one ear black berry headsets.Anyways, once I plugged in to that port then split it, and...

Well - it sounds like the first thing to do is check your cable. I've certainly had several less than great cables that introduce annoying hums into systems. Can you check the cable some way? (1/4" DI out of a sound board into another channel on that same board then PFL and see if there's...

I built my own USB go button tooI used an Arduino Leonardo my school was wiling to give me - 5 buttons total they are -GO -Load -Next (down) -Previous (up) -STOPThe nice thing about it being from an arduino is I can change all of this - which button is where, or what each does - to suit my...

Make sure the gain on your pack is OK? Maybe it's just a quiet element? There's nothing muffling it inside the grill?For when you can make sound by blowing on it, how does that compare when you blow in the same way with the good element?More likely, and my guess: Sounds like you're...

See three pictures attachedFound this in a drawer earlier today. Has anyone had an experience using it before?It looks pretty old, but when I plugged it in it worked totally great!My other question is... does anyone know what the grille is for running up and down the handle? Covering it...

The video on the Shure website at the link from the OP showed an ability to adjust gain at the receiver. So that would allow gain to be adjusted at the pack and at the receiver unless I misunderstand you.Personally, I'd prefer gain were only adjustable at one of those two places, and then...

I've had a pair of these for around eight months. For the first six months, I'd run with them around 4 times a week; so they had to stand up to significant levels of sweat. Which explains: Two months ago, the left ear bud decreased in volume output by about half. Nothing I can do to make...

Those colors are easy to remember, but in my theater, anything with red or yellow tape is an indicator for malfunctioning equipment. If it's got red or yellow, it can't be used. How do you label a S4 as not working? Is it possible to tag out a S4? Seems like an easy thing to miss.

Our school is doing a production in our small (30 ish seat) black box. We're still in the very early creative process with our sounds, but I've already run into something I thought might be strange: We have four speakers in each of the four corners of the room, split as left and right...

This is a "cheat sheet" I use to keep track of levels when I have to.

Thanks for all the responses! I'll look in to the trauma scissors now, they sound GREAT Stookeybrd, you list a whole bunch of different kinds of tape - what's your criteria on choosing a specific one? Also, (warning, potential greenie question:) is Krylon MME spray paint? What's the...

I've been asked to assemble an "A/V bag" containing basic supplies for mic'ing people backstage and before shows for our High School. I have around $80 and we hope for it to last the year. We'll be using 8-10 wireless mics with DPA's or Shure elements taped on the face (or through hair) for...

for reference, here is a link to the tape we use. Blenderm Tape by 3M if we do a good job cleaning the skin beforehand, then it sticks to even our sweatiest actors. Ours is 1 inch wide, and we try to use no more than 1/2 an inch of length on the face.

Hello A guitarist friend of mine bought an amp in the UK because it was simpler (and slightly cheaper) than actually bringing his own amp from the US on a plane. Now that he's played the new amp, we've decided it sounds nice and would be good to bring back home. Our biggest concern is the...
