You might be able to use SoundFlower or a similar routing program to do what you are looking for. It essentially creates virtual sound cards in the machine that have a variety of routing options. I don't have time to give it a read through to know if it would work for your exact situation but I...

If you are looking something a bit higher-end than consumer speakers but Meyer and the like are out of your budget consider the EV S40's they are a solid speaker. However, also take a look/listen at some EAW UB12's. Ive always liked them a bit more than the S40's.

2 great amps for you to consider (among many options) would be a QSC GX5 and a Crown XTI-2000.The GX5 runs about $400 and is rated for 500w a channel at 8 ohms. The Xti is rated for 475w a channel at 8 ohms and is a bit more expensive.Both amps are very quiet and light which is great in for...

Here are some short answers until someone else can give you a longer explanation.On 3-phase disconnects the rating is usually a per phase rating so you most likely have 3 200a legs assuming it is 3 phase service not a split phase service. EDIT: epimetheus beat me to it.208v is made from...

Soundcraft's Spirit 8 range has phantom power. At least it is listed as a feature on the Soundcraft website. It is individually controlled on each channel. There should be a button on each channel strip to enable it, most likely it will be at the top near the gain knob. It also may be labeled as...

Thanks Kyle for putting it in clearer words than I,I do understand that many corporate/industrial applications make use of RJ-45 for other purposes, including phone lines. I assumed when the OP mentioned "Telephone Cable" He was not referring to RJ-45 which is less common for home phone use. I...

Cat-5 refers to Category Five cable, which is a twisted pair cable very commonly used for networking. The Cat-5 qualification however has nothing to do with connector type. RJ-45 connectors are usually put on the end on Cat-5 cable for ethernet/computer networking cables. Standard phone...

Yes, you can setup the M7 to respond to midi data through its midi input. This means you could either buy a midi foot switch or for more flexibility buy something that can convert a foot switch (or any contact closure) to midi signals. I have heard good things about the Midi Solutions foot...

I to prefer the s40's over the Control 1's. I am not sure exactly how the price lines up but you may want to look at some EAW UB12's. They are a nice little fill or effect speaker.

I've seen shows run like this before. One thing to be careful of is having a plan if you either accidently hit a cue early and need to fade or need to fade it early. I don't know if there is an easy way to do that on the fly in multiplay. Other than that there is technically no need for a mixer.

I'm going to try and talk things over with IT first, its not that we lack money however it may be better spent elsewhere because our PC with SFX still works. I was just checking to make sure there wasn't a work around for this situation I was missing. I understand this. That doesn't explain...

It is a school computer, and yes I am an alum working for the school. We really don't have money to throw at this project right now and if we try and have the IT dept. install leopard we will lose all administrative privileges on the computer which will be a mess. This project was going to...

I know that they wrote it so they can do what they want but it just seems like an unnecessary situation.And yes i'm on a G5 tower, it is for a high school and i'd love for them to be able to use Qlab, but I am stuck on tiger for now.Also the interface is a MOTU 2408 so its not like I could...

So I am trying to run Qlab on a computer running OS 10.4.9; so I cannot run Qlab 2 as it is leopard only. I downloaded a copy of 1.3.5 from their website however it says I need a license for it because it is no longer free now that Qlab 2 came out. I cant believe they would do this they are...

The Digi 002 will only support 8 channels of ADAT input bringing your total to 16. However only 4 of the 8 analog inputs are preamps which may be a problem depending on your source. Also I assume you really meant the Digi 003? The 002 is no longer manufactured by Digidesign.Unless you are...
