It might sound really weird, but... I was jamming with a couple friends this weekend and we'd all crammed into my room and we wanted to do a little recording of some stuff we'd written, so I went through my adapter box and grabbed a mic and plugged it into my computer. The problem was when it...

Continuing the tradition of 'break a leg' one of the sayings to come out of my school's auditorium is simply: "May the Grandmaster fail..." And that may sound kinda weird, but in the past we've experienced incidents where that's happened so... It kinda fits.

The only reason I can think of for not placing the sub in the air is if there's literally no place for it. If your spot bay is smackdab in the center, or you've got two on either side that have room for the subs then you just have to make sure that when you're putting that much low end in that...

Thanks! For Sr. High Youth Group today... (is it still today... <checks clock> yeah, it is still today) I went back to the amp box and made my usual changes to the wiring and cranked the crossover down considerably. I am going to walk this Sunday's tech (who happens to be one of my youth...

Crossover: DBX Project 1 223 (powered 2 or 3 way) Mains: Either 1: JBL MS28 (60Hz - 19Khz / 45Hz - 20Khz [-10db] 300watts @ 16ohms) OR 2: JBL MS26 (65Hz - 19Khz / 50Hz - 20Khz [-10db] 400watts @ 16ohms) I'm not sure exactly which one our mains are, they look like they might be large...

I don't have a model name/number for our crossover right now, though I'll make a note to grab the manual back from the church when I go there for Jr. High Youth Group, tomorrow. I'll also grab the names of the subs and write those down; heck, I'll even whip out a ladder and see about figuring...

Our crossover point is now set, and I'm not allowed to touch it anymore. I had been experimenting with different x-over points and seeing how it changed the sound of our room. Before I even went in to take a look at our crossover the first time, the techs who came before me had 'accidentally' (I...

Okay, I guess I'll broaden this topic a bit... Currently at my church I work with Shure-SM58s and a few Audio Technica microphones that I can't currently remember the names of. I like the quality of the 58s, but they're also not a cheap mic. I know that you have to shell out decent amounts of...

It does, thanks for the run down... I think I might have to look into Carvin's 10-day trial program and see how it works.

Hey, I was browsing around looking for places where I might throw up questions about some Carvin equipment I'm looking at (post under Sound Questions forum) and came upon this lovely site. Man I wish I'd known about this place when I was a freshman in High School. Now that I graduate at the end...

Thanks for the insight. As for what we're doing, mostly we're running shows that we put together ourselves, picking the venue, the bands, the time, etc... However, we do want to be able to recoup our investment by hiring out to other groups. I have good contacts in my area and for the most part...

Okay, I've been running sound now for two + years, ranging from plays, to ballets, to auctions, to full fledged 'rock' concerts. A group of my friends and I have been putting on concerts ourselves for now over a year, and we're just about ready to finalize and grab a business license and start...
