    UPS systems installed at FOH, introducing noise into RF rack

    Thanks for the input folks.Yes, the "electrician" who built the lunchbox did it that way. I know plenty about sound and enough about electricity to be dangerous but I'm not an electrician and if it were up to me I would have done a lot more research before implementing this solution but...

    UPS systems installed at FOH, introducing noise into RF rack

    Hi there,Thanks for the reply. More or less what I was thinking. The units are true sine wave... But I'm wondering if an On-Line UPS might have been better than Line-Interactive like these ones... Maybe there is still a way I can isolate them. It's a ridiculous story of why I have them...

    Bus carrying singer Josh Turner’s road crew goes off 50-foot cliff in deadly California crash

    Wow. Worked with him back in July.How terrible. He was great to work with, an old school monitor engineer who pretty much oozed experience. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed his cigars without apology. I had hoped to see him and his epic monitor guy pony tail again one day.RIP Dave...

    Stagehand dies while setting up for Coachella Festival

    Rest In Peace... tragic. And shocking. I worked with a gentleman this weekend who fell about 25 feet a couple of years ago. The fall ruptured his spleen and he had so much internal bleeding he almost died. Now he is much more strict about safety. Easy to take for granted familiar operations. I’m...

    Mackie boards? bad???

    There's a bunch of reasons professionals will decline a Mackie as a professional board. They're great for basic use, and for less high need installations. The forst board I ever learned on was the 1604. I have a 2404 and it's a great board for smallish stuff. Not a professional rig because it...
