Has anyone ever made something for front fills or monitors to kick them up?

Love you Al, but as a stand-alone sentence this one hurts.

If you use two speakers for front fill, would you orient the speakers with the woofers together or the horns?

Normally front fills are a set of speakers along the front edge of the stage, and are not together, so it doesn't matter which way they are oriented. And the level from them should be very low.

Thanks!  I separate them and keep the levels down a bit!

I used to use these:

Many technicians swear that's all they are good for, and cheaper than a log! :-)

Yup.  Every tech should have at least a small inventory of Audio Logs.  They are insanely useful for any number of things.

Absolutely and I use the Audio Logs in flat black for monitor propping, getting subs off the ground, and even to stack and support the trailer so it won't tip back when unhooked.  Funny thing is audiologs.com is taken!

On the Phoenix tour, the lead singer utilized a pair of Clair 12am wedges.  It didn’t look homemade, but there was a piece that would tilt the wedges up to certain degree marks. Didn’t know if someone made this professionally or not? I’m a sound guy not a English major!!! 😜

You can buy adjustable pneumatic legs that recess into the wedges. Maybe Penn or similar has them? Sorry no link to offer but I've seen them in a catalogue.

Cheers
