I'd go for seperate curcuits that are switched on/off in the correct oder...lot of hardware has mute-functions to have it turning on w/o unhappy noises. The "remote" switch aspect is as far as i know not used anywhere in that segment; rather data-linking like dante networks but not the po...

Power amps (Powered Speakers) - Last On/First Off Especially if using a Driverack....they will pop. Also, in running live sound - always mute your channels before shutting down the board, that way there won't be any open signals happening when you turn everything back on......especially if you have ...

You are correct, sir!

Those are no longer available. Bill has another recommended driver in the plans. I think it's the F151, but don't quote me.

Went to check out the Guad and scratch a fly fishing itch (mistake).

I've never understood fly fishing. No matter how many flies you catch, it just ain't enough for a meal.

I don't want to start a flame war, but there are people who seem very impressed with Compression Horns, and people who are very impressed with Piezos. I have no way of making an informed decision. It looks like Bill says it's really dependent on throw: Piezos for dispersion and less throw. But what...

Was in New Braunfels over the weekend- man you guys are building EVERYWHERE. Yeah....it's a bit of a problem. We have severe water issues here, but no one seems to want to address it. We've pretty much been in a drought for several years. Population when I was growing up in the 60s was about 10-12,...

I do the size crowd you are talking about....have been for many years. I use two OT12s per side and 6 T-39s total. 4 OT12s with the CD horns at 1.2k crossover will serve you well. Add 2 more T48s and you should be golden. You can always V-plate those T48s and get some more oomph out of 'em. +1 to B...

I'd add 'em. They're cheap and you're increasing the high end by 50%.

My NSD2005 CDs are attached with two bolts. Never a problem. I would use lock washers, though.

Hi Bruce, Problem is stage is small so there is space for one t39. Also, the entire church room is 2400 sq ft. There isn't room in the stage corner for two t39's. The optimum spots would require removal of seating. Instead of two 20 inch t39's we will try 1 24 inch cabinet. It will still be light y...

Crazy how many uses they end up filling- but it is a another project before the sub build for him! Now, making one while listening to teeth rattling bass? well that's just fine.... I built it years ago, but even then I wondered why I had taken so long to do it. I can break down big sheets with a ci...

Get one or two of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/250-lb-capacity-adjustable-roller-stand-with-edge-guide-58810.html?hftm_sc=3212&hftm_source=google&campaignid=21901739435&adsetid=173216746071&product=58810&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21901739435 Or just build you one o...

If you haven't already, the first thing I'd personally do is swap the speaker cabs one side to the other and see if the problem follows the speaker cab itself. If it doesn't follow the speaker, it's something upstream... damaged speaker wire or XLR cable, dirty/loose connector, amp on it's way out,...

Thanks for the link Bill, apparently, my wife uses the same snake comment. Also, I learned there is a plethora of misinformation about sub placement on the internet, - thanks for the link. The facility is a small church - 2400 sq feet. Due to space constraints, it seems like the best option will be...
