Elegant as always, Dave. And I love a split clamp -- the king of clamps. I'm curious as to what the friction surfaces in the clutch are, if it's not a trade secret 😊 Al on Al, or something else?

I'd have to take it apart, as it's been sitting in storage for a few years.  I think it's delrin, not a friction material.

If you are getting feedback you need to EQ with more precision and agressively.  If you are getting paid for the gig and have a feedback issue most likely won't get hired again.

Thanks for the tip, didn’t know that EQ could fix that……….

The thing with the NX985, is the wider pattern of the horn and maybe inconsistency in the dispersion, once you start cutting freq. You loose the bite, the soubd becomes dull, conpared to the ETX-35P

For most gigs ( other than salsa and merengue bands) , I prefer the DBTechnologies Ingenia IG4T, two of these on top of each other, with one or two RCF 8006.  Another great thing of these boxes ( IG4T), for little truck space !!

I'm about to buy another 100ft to make mine 200ft with the neutrik coupler, works great for my SQ5 + AR2412. Lays flat and coils like a mic cable.

Actual Dugan is available from Waves for $600, or there's this one I haven't checked out yet:

I've made a couple of prototype self-tightening mic stand heads, with a conical clutch.  As they droop, they get tighter.  You raise them to loosen them.  Too weird for normal use, but great for overheads. Is there any interest?

Anybody used the Thor Hammer headset mic?  We currently have some E6's and some cheap headsets.  Wondering if the Hammer would be worth a shot in sort of a middle cost bracket?

No Dugan, ffs, but the new channel insert should let us add a software automixer, no? The new multiclient USB means you can still multitrack at the same time, too.

Our options in this series are Way Too Much Dugan (DM7) or none (DM3). 

Thank you for that information, Stephen. I'll go over what you've written and see if I can figure out the specific steps for my VNA and equipment. Appreciate the help!

Yes, driving speakers to their limits regularly can cause failures.  Yes, outdoor weather conditions can cause drivers to deteriorate.

Generally speaking though, rough handling of a speaker cabinet by a roadie will make it look less pretty and possibly damage the enclosure.  Rarely will it cause wear on the driver that doing a preventative re-cone will be necessary.

You would think so and at one time I expected that all "professional" users had a similar level of common sense but my years at the sound company repair bench disproved that theory. People kept inventing new ways to break things!

Now that I mostly deal with AV equipment repairs in an education setting the damage is not nearly as interesting.
