Re: Crest prolite 3.0 still delayed

Tried to contact Crest by email but they have not responded. They have more capacitors than any of the other class d amps in the same price range. This is what attracted me to them over some of the others. I can't see them being much different than the 2.0 which seems to be available. I wouldn't thi...

Crest prolite 3.0 still delayed

Does anybody know why the PL line keeps getting pushed back. The original production release was supposed to be August of last year (at least that's the first date I was told when I started checking into them). I was just informed by the store I was ordering through that Crest has now moved the date...

Re: Advice on starting over...

One quick way to solve stage volume problems is to backfire the amps (at least on small stages). In other words don't set the amps behind them but in front of them blowing right back in their faces. This works best when you have someone FOH to mix. A lot of guitar players have the amps blasting away...

Re: Poor Man's Wireless In Ear monitors

What do you mean 'smash it in?' Are you talking about headphones that sit in your ear (like the old iPhone standby), or in-ear headphones that come with rubber pieces to go around the speaker (like a sennheiser 300)? "Smash it in" may have been a bit of a simplified term. You do have to b...

Re: Poor Man's Wireless In Ear monitors

An easy way to create a well fitting sealed earbud is to order a/b silicone. You put your favorite bud in your ear mix up the putty in your hands smash it in and wait about thirty seconds. Instant custom molded ear bud. Our drummer has been using one set up like this for a few weeks now and loves it...

Re: Rainy day disaster

Been away for awhile but finally got around to fixing the board. Rather I had it fixed as it exceeded my abilities. Ended up replacing most everything in one channel then had to have entire sum and output board replaced. Everything was repaired, board cleaned inside and out and total bill was only 1...

Re: Rainy day disaster

Bad thing is I normally am under a tent but the layout of the site was such that I couldn't use it. Thinking about buying an old used cheap board to set up in situations when I am at risk. I might have to work a little harder and give up some quality in sound but it is better than killing good equip...

Rainy day disaster

Well I was looking forward to ordering all the components for the dr200's I was getting started on when mother nature planned otherwise. This was a three show weekend that should have paid off pretty well for me. Right after setting up for our Saturday show we started to get some rain. We still had ...

Re: Just joined

I like the fact that ribbons (most anyway) can usually be ran to their limit without changes in dispersion or the development of high resonate artifacts. I am, in fact however, a long time cd user. I have yet to get the plans so am unaware of how the highend section of these two cabinets incorporate...

Hello to everybody, I've been involved in running sound for about 25 years now but have just recently got into the build thing. I do live work for a couple bands and my kids have recently started doing DJ work. We work at least one night a week and sometimes two to three with different rigs going di...
