Lol. While we’re on the topic, I caught myself subconsciously taking note of step blocks at my physical therapist office today that are 100% Baltic Birch by the end grain. Is it like when you buy a car and start seeing them everywhere!? I feel like I’m coming down with something… Yeah, it really is...

Just checked my supplier in San Antonio. 1/2" Baltic Birch 5x5 - $44.39

So, look for the wholesale guys. Call a cabinet shop and ask 'em who they buy from.

Also, remember when asking about Baltic Birch, you may have to also use the term Russian Birch. Just nothing from China.

5x5 will be cheaper per foot as that's the normal size for BB. I haven't looked in a while, but I was buying it for $30 a sheet a few years back, then it blew up. But, last time I looked it was back down to around $50 I think. Look for a lumber wholesaler. The boutique shops are gonna be more. I use...

If you're good with the weight and you can get the DSP in 'em, then go for it. But definitely build a rack panel and don't try to use pigtails for those connections.

Just be sure that you use a voltmeter to test the limiting to make sure it clamps down tight for your subs.

Are you sure they are all CTS models? I didn't see any of those models with any option for DSP.

Definitely more useful for permanent install. Those in particular are nice when powered speakers are high on wall mounts or flying and you can’t get within arms reach of the cabinet. That's what this venue was using them for. Of course they could have fixed all of their problems for no money....jus...

I've been looking at the manual. This section concerns me.... Q. Mode Switch This two-position switch is used to select the amplifier’s mode of operation: Dual or Bridge Mono. Dual mode is used for 2/4/8 ohms, for 70V operation with the CTs 600/1200, and for 70/100V operation with the CTs 2000/3000....

I came across something I hadn't seen before at a venue here in town. Looks like Furman has some remote on/off switches that are for being distributed around the room. Pretty expensive.

They are two outlet boxes. Especially good for situations with powered speakers.

They aren't used in live sound because of the connectors. Molex type input instead of xlr and small binding post instead of the large ones or Speakon. They don't have any interal processing. Just the highpass switches and input options on the back. I've found just the opposite to be true on pricing ...

You can build all you want for yourself with the CD. When building for someone else, just have them purchase the plans for whatever they need on a case by case basis. I've done this a few times. I don't know what the particulars are on becoming an authorized builder.

With standard front loaded subs, what you described will work. I'd be very cautious though, trying to limit with the board....too much chance for error. You'd have to start from a master scene every time to ensure that your limiter parameters carry forward. One little mistake and your folded horn su...

And when you want the cops to see that you are within the required 85db at the end of the property.

Welcome aboard. Ask all the questions that you want.....this board is very responsive as you've probably seen over the years.

Looks to me like you've got the right stuff....
