Since a lot of people here seem confused, perhaps I should shed some light on the situation. The toaster in question is manufactured by NewTek and the current version is VT4. Within the next few months VT5 will be released promising a fairly decent feature set. My Highschool had a VT4 system...

Hello fellow CB'ers, I recently put aside some funds from my birthday and am interested in possibly buying some new monitor speakers. In my search I came across this offering from Harbinger. I am curious if anybody is using these speakers and what their opinion is. I can not find much data on...

I would take a look at your local home improvement store. If you are willing to buy a spool of 100 feet, you can walk away with some very nice prices. While SO is an extremely sturdy cable, it's also heavy and hard to get into NL4 connectors. You can easily get away with SJ/SJOOW and save...

A question for the original poster, how do you have the computer connected? It sounds like you are perhaps suffering some sort of phase cancellation problem as if you are possibly using a Y cable to combine the stereo outputs into a mono input on your mixer. I don't remember the science of all...

I'm Curious as to what you did to somewhat safeguard the connections on the rear of the powercons. Did you use insulated fastons or heatshrink or some other meathod. I have been really wanting to use powercons but I want to make sure the connections are safe from wandering fingers. The wiring...

Its a little late, so I'm going to answer the ones I know off the top of my head. 123) What are the two types of feeder cable authorized for stage use? Type S and Type SJ however SJ is very limited in use, leading us to question number 124. 124) According to the NEC 1999, what is the...

As far as I know, it really depends on the system itself. All of the systems that I own have the same issue as yours. I believe it also has to do with the fact that a CD can not go above 0 dB in level otherwise it will experience digital clipping while a radio operator can send a signal to their...

Jonathan, I know it is not illegal to run cam extensions, but am I wrong in saying that you can not run 50 feet of cam cable directly to a bull switch or directly to a circuit breaker if using bare tails to cams? I thought that code said you must have bare tales to cams witin 10 feet of the...

I'll just say that the show that borrowed your dimmers is lucky they didn't have an electrical inspector, and that they are even luckier that they didn't have anybody or any equipment injured. Bad electrical practice is a real pet peeve of mine, and now that I've learned more, it scares me even...

Koncept, I am no expert when it comes to power distros and three phase, so please wait till somebody more experienced comes along to make sure what I am saying is correct but from what I read I'll try to help you out. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, IF YOU ARE...

Well are we talking about a dimmer module like one from a sensor rack, or are we talking about what I refer to as a dimmer pack or like a set of 4-12 dimmer circuts all enclosed in one box that is fed from one power input? In the case of a dimmer pack, I don't think you are having any...

While what everybody has said above is possible, could it also be possible that it is a 20 Amp 240v breaker that is feeding the dimmer? If that is the case, then you would have 4,800 watts of available power and not the 2,400 watts that you think you are limited to. I am not claiming any...

Yes Andy and Andy you are correct, I do want channel inserts. I tried opening my board up today, but unfortuantely I don't think I can get it open without breaking some part of it, so #1 is not an option. The compressor I was looking at buying (Alesis 3630) says that you can input Mic...

Dear fellow CBers, I am in somewhat of a self-created dilemma. I recently have come into some capital to invest in my favorite company (my own). Lately I have been shopping around for a compressor/limiter and an EQ. Other topics have helped me with the selection of these items, but any...

I would suggest perhaps a "large hall" type of effect, but you have to be careful in how you mix the signal because at times it could get overwhelming. I don't use effects too often, so someone please correct me if im wrong, but I think that a hall effect would aid your singers without your...
