@TimMc thanks for the great response. We've had our presonus board since 2012, and we had a close sound guy do the install, do a pink of the room and set the channel EQs, and fix a few other cable termination issues. That was able to fix a tremendous amount of issues that we were initially...

I'm not suggesting that we pink the room on a routine basis. It's been at least 7 years since the system has been reviewed, and we've recently moved the power amps to a new location and overall system volumes have changed as well. I also know for a fact that when the last pinking was done, the...

I'm completely open to any feedback, snarky (yours wasn't) or otherwise. The wizards on the presonus are the same as doing a pinking with the DBX RTA, but it (being the presonus) allows for a more granular adjustment, from my understanding. On the presonus, we have individual channel EQs, and...

I currently have another thread going about how we're temporarily relocating our sound booth soon, but it's caused me to look back at some other things that I'd like to tidy up and get taken care of.We have a StudioLive 24.4.2 that has it's main out connected to a DBX Drive Rack PA. Before the...

Any such way of keeping theAs Josh88 mentions, that's exactly right and what prompted this whole temporary move in the first place. Being above the speaker plane and having a small window doesn't give us enough clarity to really hear what's happening. We have studio monitors that let us know...

I've been looking at this, but the presonus isn't that far off. The AI's are more equipped for this task, but we can still run the universal control app off of an iPad to control the board, but it just relies on the mac mini being the bridge. I just have a hard time relying on iPads and wireless...

Yeah, hasn't been fun for the past 10 years. If we had a permanent space in the sanctuary I'd gun for that. Also, what makes it a trip hazard is that to get the snake to the stage area, it'd have to run through one walk way, through about 15 pews and then about another 10' open walk way. It'd...

To run a snake from the sound room to the temp location would be as easy as running USB and HDMI, because they would all take the same path. Running a new snake from the temp location to where the other snake terminated, would be an issue of trip hazard. The existing snake terminates near the...

I completely agree with not wanting to do it through the mac mini using the control software. It'd be the worst case scenario as I keep playing around with this idea. I just don't like the idea of being that far away from the actual sound board if there is an issue. I also agree with running...

Hi All- I'm really torn with how to temporarily relocate our sound booth for an evening drama/performance at my church. We have a presonus StudioLive 24.4.2, with firewire (it's not an AI, so no network). Our current sound room is in a bad location, and we are planning on relocating to a set...

I'm at the point where I think I'd remove the original dimmer switches and just put blanks over them, and run everything directly from the dimmer itself. For the local control, I'd either look into getting an easy to use dmx console, or, this dimmer has 0-10v inputs for each channel, so in...

Much cheaper to locate dimmer in mechanical run and use existing electrical wiring and just run back a DMX cable to the control point. I could just wire past the switches and put a cover over them, but it would be good to keep local control at the control point for volunteer staff since they...

Yes. I could see issues if the dimmer supplied voltage TO the dmx dimmer, but I thought if the wall dimmer was in the output side of the DMX dimmer, worst case scenario would be if the wall dimmer was down too far, the SSR wouldn’t be able to control it.

Hey all, is it possible to put a standard light dimmer downstream from a solid state dimmer rack? I have a Chauvet TFX6D dimmer that uses SSRs and if I run it at 100% brightness would a standard incandescent light dimmer still work? Talking about using with standard incandescent it halogen...

Thanks for all the great feedback. I took a look inside the Cooper switch, and it's certainly hackable to make it do what I want, but at about $25 each at their cheapest, it's quite a price to pay to keep a traditional switch look. There is a small circuit in there with an additional...
