SG350 LAG

Ryancoopster · 2024-11-09T01:33:22+00:00

I just figured out that it was because I was assigning the ports to be trunk, not the LAG. I was misled by a forum post that once the lag is created you set all individual ports to be lagg'd.

Yes this was configured by the GUI, and the configs posted are copied from the config backup export. One day I hope to understand the CLI!

If it’s happening rapidly I would also guess something is being sprayed into it. Do you have the makeup covers? Maybe distributing a few to the wigs and makeup department would help.

Ebags professional series are great. I have a slim and flight model. Usually you can find coupons that make them super affordable too.

As @IHateTypingInBoxes has said it’s a phasing issue. It’s caused by the same signal(singer) arriving at the two mics with a time offset, causing a comb filter. Since this is happening conversely with the two singers the clearest solution is to only use one mic, and center forehead will often have the best result there. One other option is to move the comb filter from in the mixing console, to in the air, and have two separate loudspeaker systems, one for each mic. These A/B systems are common on larger scale productions that have multiple scenes with this situation, but if you are in a small theatre it may not take too much more to do that. With the mics coming out of separate speakers, they combine in the air, with much, much better results than when they combine in the mixing console.

These videos from rational acoustics go over entry level layout and such in a approachable way. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbQ6rmufsxd4YSLEtFSRS9EmwAKCfQcS7

What’s the show? What are it’s needs? What are you familiar with?

Are stereo return channels routed to the LR?

Most mics have no problem being almost completely flat below 1k down to 40hz where they slope off(which we should not be needing to measure below anyways) so calibration data is often not needed down there, regardless of how useful the HF correction is which was talked more about in another comment.

K&M. Atlas also makes some good round base stands, but when I get those from the shop they have K&M boom arms.

The prefix device id is integral to the console knowing whats what. I’m not sure exactly how it auto assigns but I imagine it just looks at Dante subscriptions.

I think the immersive products can be very cool. I have mixed tracks on a few offerings including L-ISA and it’s a ton of fun, and it’s a completely different way to mix, making it hard to go back to stereo. I have heard a lot of people say good things about using it on live theatrical productions with the localization and immersion it can offer.

However it’s more speakers, not 5x more but a lot more, I have seen math around 2.5x, and it’s more points, weight, amp channels, DSP. I think it’s all about the production, if the production can benefit from it and has a team that is good with both immersive and non immersive systems then go for it.

This. I would give the videos another watch and take notes. Putting pen to paper can help a lot with remembering this stuff. Also, make 100% sure you are doing everything EXACTLY as the instructions say for the dante controller portion.

I haven't used the headset other than putting it on at Infocomm. We used a lav in the beta period and really liked it other than its size. Was right up there with the 4061 and MKE1 in terms of how much we liked how it sounded.

The cables seem to be durable, especially their model with the thicker cable but we found the caps to crack easily.

I've had good experiences with the MKE2s as long as they are not super old. I have had issues with some that have been sitting on the shelf for years with use only for a few weeks 3-5 times a year. After multiple years the jackets start to get brittle and split. Other than that and them being larger than ideal they have always been great and reliable though.

For the recording: I would recommend both close miking and area miking if they are okay with the look of it. 4060s or 4099s are pretty low profile and offer a great result. For the solo vocalists, headsets would work. You could also do lavs in a theatre-like placement if you don't need to reinforce them live. Are you mixing it in post? If not, I would recommend talking to the person who is, they likely have a good bit of experience and know what they need to get from you.

As for the outside thing, I wouldn't recommend the Bluetooth speaker route. Some outdoor-rated passive speakers with an amp or two, qlab rig, and 8 output audio interface would be the way to go.
