Is that plastic?!  Very frightening if so.  I get that manufacturers are trying to shave weight and cost where they can but this seems to be a very poor place to do that...

May be aluminium, but I'm betting on white metal.

I'm sure if a cabinet was rated at 6 ohm some would think their amps would not run it.

You HAVE NO IDEA how many people think this.

I once rated a cabinet for 6 ohms (because that best described the overall load on the amplifier).

I got lots of calls asking where to buy a 6 ohm amplifier, because none of the manufacturers listed it.

I then rated it for 4 ohms and the calls stopped.  The cabinet did not change.


The lack of basic understanding in our industry is astounding sometimes

Hey gang.  Good to see the regulars still kicking.  Won’t be too long before we see full LED volumes like on a soundstage.  Grimes thing sounds like either a sampling rate error or some sort of tempo mismatch in whatever she’s using for playback.

Welcome back Dave, long time!

However, after having an M20 pole cup fail at a gig, I don't trust the straight poles anymore.  The weight of an X40 on top of a straight pole was able to apply enough torque to break a pole cup. Can you imagine with a UPQ?  These truss assemblies feel solid with a UPQ on top of a 900LFC.

Can you help identify the problem with the distortion in the vocal mic in this clip? It's a Shure GLXD system. Wondering if the problem is proximity to the Allen & Heath ME-1 mixing console the choir director is using? https://youtu.be/QBoEL3tZdbk

Oh, its definitely overkill.

What did Meyer Sound have to say about the pole cup failure?

Good to see a bunch of familiar “faces” as well. 

Make sure the internal gain/volume controls on the Lav transmitters are set accordingly.

While gain-staging is important for wireless microphones (particularly for analogue ones) to ensure low noise, it shouldn't materially impact gain-before-feedback (after all, "gain is gain" regardless of where it's being added).
