    Middle cluster for a live worship setting

    Hi, I am looking for some advice from you guys here. We currently hold our service in a wide cafeteria, and our speakers need to be spread wide apart so that people can view the center projection behind the stage. This means the center area gets a muddier mix. I was thinking about purchasing a...

    Monitoring question for portability

    I have about a $5000 budget for an in-ear monitoring system. We have approximately 10 people that would need monitors. An Aviom system would cost about $5500 that would give us 4 personal mixes. I would expand this to get 10 outputs via a headphone amp so people can share mixes. 10 personal...

    Allen & Heath vs Mackie vs Soundcraft

    All 3 of these boards are similar in pricing. I'm looking for something that's functional, durable, and nice sounding. I've worked briefly with the Allen & Heath, have an M-Series console at home, and have worked with the Onyx in other events. They all seem pretty functional, but I've used them...

    Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST-200

    I put in an order for this tuner because of its reviews. http://www.turbo-tuner.com/pages/manual-st2.htm I couldn't pull the trigger on a Peterson Strobo Stomp because of its shortcomings on durability and the price. There's a video that compares the Strobo and Turbo Tuner side by side here...

    How do digital consoles work?

    Our church is in the process of purchasing new equipment, so I thought I would explore the possibility of moving from analog to digital. In the past, I mixed on this http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/products/mixers/pm1d/index.html and really enjoyed the flexibility and options that the board...

    Can someone explain to me how to match amps and loudspeakers?

    I know that you would want the power amp and the speakers to somewhat match in impedance and wattage (erring on the side of more for the speakers), but what happens when you bridge an amp, or run speakers in parallel? For example, I have a speaker with these specs: Frequency range: 52Hz - 20k...

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro with Logic

    I got a good deal on the last generation's MacBook Pro, but it has a 5400rpm drive in it. I just installed a 320gb 7200rpm in my Dell laptop before I bought the MacBook. Would it be better to swap out drives? Or should I just use an external 7200rpm drive for the MacBook. Swapping out the HDD...

    Casio Privia PX575R has no Midi connection

    I love this keyboard, but mostly need it for midi. Unfortunately, I'm running XP-64 on my DAW, and Casio doesn't have 64-bit drivers available for the usb slot.
