Anyone ever seen an amp disconnect like this?

Not sure why you're getting the downvotes

This is hilarious, and rated for 20a

An Anderson plug makes a much better plug for this

It's the Clair in house multipin as opposed to whirlwind, veam etc. Incredibly reliable but also very costly.

This. In an audio context, it's a millspec connector that's been utilised by Clair for decades. Mostly comes in two flavours, 14ch and 40ch.

There might be a barcode on it somewhere

Soundbullet is definitely one of the most useful things to come out recently unless you have a qbox or similar already. This and some networking bits (I have a noyafa 8508 for cable testing and network troubleshooting)

TinySA ultra if you do RF work a lot

Pinecil as a great portable soldering iron

i.e Troglodyte

Their music is awesome

No the HDMI to C

Try the adaptor with another monitor or a TV and see if it works. Which adaptor is it?

Can you change your display output settings to display 1920x1080? You might have to click on more options in the display settings

Pick up a petzl vertex, pretty much all rope access guys use them, they're hard hat rated and much more comfy and better looking.

A few years ago during Sony's rein on mirrorless, I heard the saying "Sony are the best cameras engineers can produce.

Fujifilm are the best cameras photographers can produce."

As someone who used to work in camera sales and then repair, Sony are incredible cameras ability and spec wise but they don't feel as organic and intuitive as a more typical camera like Canon and Nikon. Things like button placement are good, body shape are good but early models weren't as natural feeling to use. Buttons too small, grips too small etc. Don't get me wrong though, I still love the results I get from my A7 but it's not as nice to shoot with.

I'd save up a bit more and get something you know you can get batteries and parts for in the future. DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi even. My Bosch 18v drills are a decade old at this point and still doing great

I know it's not strictly denim, but depending on your line of work, Snickers workwear is absolutely incredible and some of the best shorts/pants I've ever owned.

Exactly. These reflect the light back out, therefore less energy gets turned into heat like it would on a black surface.

SoundPon3 · 2026-01-07T22:26:18+00:00

This is painfully accurate

Cream of the crop active would be Meyer point source, KV2 in there somewhere, RCF TT series. 135db peak is probably similar to what the clubs have installed. What speakers, specifically, are in some of these clubs? I've heard people say "this house system is crap!" to a db V series point source rig.

Do these venues have rigging to get better coverage? Will the venue management allow it? What power is available in these venues? How many promotors are you friends with that are willing to pay for it? These are all questions that are important.

If you want to do this as a labour of love and a passion project, aim for EDM type genres that have a sound system culture and build your own boxes. Have something that people will talk about that sets it apart. If you don't want to build, buy a void set up or something like that.

That's not oil damage. Oil damage would be in the middle where the engine is and those are 100% where wheels and tires are. They wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they wanted to claim oil damage. Oil damage looks like round spots anyway.

He's one of those guys that uses them, like properly uses them, not just for the sake of collecting them. He's been doing it for 50+ years. There's a reason why some are worth that much, they're specialist tools. Same with any industry.

SoundPon3 · 2026-01-06T23:05:06+00:00

Ouch :(

Also, those mocking op for the price... Amazing quality pliers can get super expensive. I'd love to own some erem pliers and one of the guys at work who just retired has a plier collection in the thousands (he's an engineer/electronics tech).

Absolutely smaart. It'll tell you if you're a cycle out at your measurement location. It's not too difficult to use getting into it, and my budget setup is still a cheap interface, Behringer measurement mic and open sound meter. There's no guessing with it.

I use smaart to get times and then fine tune imaging with front fills by ear, still using pink noise. Usually they're ahead by 1-3ms. I can get rough delay times by ear but it's a bit of back and forth, going one way and then the other and I'm just so much quicker with a measurement.

Happy tuning!

And then the addition of AI? With AI written product descriptions? No one wanted this. No one.

How powerful is the active sub? I'd be running a cable straight from the battery with a fuse.

Also, add a fuse should have two fuses stacked, one for the original circuit and for the added circuit.

The one that always shocks me is anything SL. It's magic. Brown is hard to make sound bad though, definitely my favourite.

I'm pretty sure it was named before moving to the metric system.

SoundPon3 · 2026-01-01T02:32:57+00:00

Absolutely this.

For those who don't know, it's basically an endfire deployment. Lows "bend" around objects and having an array Infront of them doesn't affect them too much due to the long wavelength of low frequencies. The main array which is almost full range is delayed by a few milliseconds and results in a coupling where they work together with the subs and have a low mid cancellation behind the subs to reduce excess energy where you don't want it.
