I had an amp module go down this weekend. QSC says it's obsolete and no parts are available. Am I dead in the water with this? These things have been workhorses for me and I hate to think the cab is scrap. Suggestions?
Thanks
John
The cab is not scrap, even if the amp may be.
You could either replace the amp with a current QSC module, an outboard amp, or another brand of plate amp:

Won't be exactly the same, but it will work, until it doesn't..

Looks like the Dynacord amplifiers you currently have with those subs are your best choice for DJ use with those speakers.  As well, it looks like someone may have already sized those amps with those speakers; appears those amps are safe for those speakers; at one speaker per channel.

I got those amps a year or so ago for < $1k each. I've been using them for a much smaller Danley setup and they've been really blowing my mind so far. I acquired them separately from the TH118s.

Before thinking of spending money on big amps... there's a lot to know about a speaker's power rating. 

Yes - it doesn't sit right with me at the moment to spend > $5k for a DNA20k amp or similar when I've got the Dynacords, but I don't feel knowledgeable enough to confidently make this call by myself so really appreciate all the comments from everyone here.

For the OP - if your playback includes sustained VLF content you will be surprised at how fast your subs will heat up, and how few Watts it takes to "smell the voice coils."  On a popular 2x18 reflex sub, 400-500W was sufficient to have the cabinets dancing around the floor and after 10-20 minutes one could smell the heat at the reflex ports.  The "peak rating" was something around 5,000 Watts.  There is no doubt in my mind that to apply that much power would result in failed speakers and maybe necessitate a fire extinguisher moment.

DNA20k amps are what a majority TH118 users seem to be using though: https://www.danleysoundlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/DNA-Pro-Specs-v1.4.pdf
It's super hard for me to compare amp specs but the cost is astronomical in comparison to what I paid for the Dynacords.

The Danleys are 4ohm boxes?

Yep! Specs are here https://www.danleysoundlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/TH118-Spec-Sheet-v.202209231214.pdf. The "Recommended Power Amplifier" specs threw me off.

Hi all,

Has anyone here used L'Acoustics A10s? Looking at maybe having 4x A10 wide and 2x KS21s all powered with 2x LA4x amps. Not looking to fly anything at this point as 95% of my events are ground supported PAs. I have never used L'Acoustics before. I downloaded the Soundvision software and was completely lost. Much different compared to LAC and ArrayCalc.

What's the throw on these boxes like?
How do they sound?
Would a 1 over 1 or 2 over 1 be sufficient for a band gig and possible DJ. No EDM, hip hop.
The biggest room I provide sound for is 60' wide by 120' deep.
How's the accessories in setting these up etc..

Looking for Pros and cons of this rig.

TIA

I've got one. No such issues. Works great for "break-out rooms" - especially ones that may not be staffed 100% of the time.

Once set via the bluetooth app, simple fader control for more/less volume gets the job done. The more dangerous settings remain beyond the reach of untrained (un-bluetoothed) hands.

The reasons I chose the PS amps in the first place over the Danley :
I could use an amp per side (placed next to each stack), allowing for shorter/neater speaker cables runs and of course I could take the stack side opposite to the board using XLRs from the stage box outputs on that side. Now I will have to run long speaker cables to the farthest stack on stage from a more central position where the amps will be placed. Using the D snake outputs also allowed me to run mono subs by using 2 separate L and R feeds - board and Snake. 
 
Just gotta make some small changes in layout.....

I run everything from stage left; amps and stagebox. 
Stagebox has 8ch of AES outs, so two channels per amp go directly into the AES in on the DNAs. 
DNA20k4 to L/R mains, subs, 2 mono front fills. DNA10k4 to L/R side fills, L/R delays.

Yes still crooked, only it does not show up as bad as having the connector flange exposed.

Didn't think of that...   Learn something new each day. 
Thanks Mike.

Hey guys.

Do any of you have one of these? What do you think of it? Pros? Cons?  A friend of mine says that it has some "weird" fader issues.  My Sweetwater guy was not a lot of help. He just said that it had some "kinks" that needed to be worked out. 

Thanks.
Scott
I have one sitting next to the keyboard I'm typing on.  It's my USB mixer/interface for Zoom and Teams (yuck).  What weirdness are folks talking about?  Other than lacking some flexibility in the feature set, I've not observed it doing anything it shouldn't, nor failing to do anything it should.

I'm with JR.  Preamps - straight wire with gain - have been sussed out decades back.  What has been happening since then is selling "color" or any audible difference as being "better" when it's your product and "bad" when it's a competitor's.

When operated within their linear range most preamps sound far, far more alike than different.  It's what happens around the edges that set them apart.

If you want color, fine.  If you need 70dB of ultra-quiet gain, (like in video and film and some corporate stuff), fine.

If you want to make good live mixes almost anything and everything will have greater impact on the perceived sound quality.

Leave the preamp, take the cannoli.

I have never been overly impressed by the AT IEM systems, they have just never sounded that good to me.  I don't have any experience with the MiPro IEM systems but I have sold more than a few of the microphone wireless systems going back to when they were OEM wirelesses for Beyer. They have always been rock solid and I have never had an issue with tech support.  As far as repairs, I have never need to have one repaired.
