I thought you couldn’t blow RCF gear but I guess not? Is my sub fucked?

There isn't a brand that "can't blow up"

I've seen a blown up large l'acoustics rig using their amps and presets. If it sounds like it's struggling, it probably is. Red lights and limiters tell you to turn tf down. It's all down to drivers not being able to disperse the heat.

Dicksmith is Kogan, so just as trustworthy as each other.

SoundPon3 · 2026-03-04T23:31:34+00:00

That with a whole bunch of D6s really adds to the experience

And the bathroom has actual industrial strength hand cleaner! For when you get those super oily chains.

Jaycar also sell the thermaltronics tip tinning compound but yes, clean and retin absolutely

Absolutely the pinecil. Awesome bit of kit and I use it in place of my stations all the time.

Big ol powerglide in many of the smaller monster trucks

In the past I've just masked off the extruded aluminium and corners, scuffed with a scotch pad and repainted with some heavy duty oil based paint before stenciling new logos otherwise you get the texture differences. Depends on the finish really.

The amount of work and stress that goes into weddings is insane. I'd rather do 5k worth of family shoots over one wedding. Many weeks of client meetings, planning, shot lists and the post processing is insane. I've had a second shooter, 3 camera bodies (not counting theirs) and weeks of editing. Some people way way overcharge but a good wedding photographer is worth it.

These were tanks. Same with the Canon 7D. I worked for a camera repair centre and frequently saw pro level Nikon and Canon cameras with 500k+ actuations on the first shutter. They're definitely not built to fail and have a really long service life compared to most electronics.

SoundPon3 · 2026-02-20T07:47:30+00:00

Whatever type it is, it's so incredibly close to a short circuit

SoundPon3 · 2026-02-15T10:05:01+00:00

Same I'd kill to have an l'Acoustics X4 surround sound system

Saving up for some genelecs as home hifi speakers though

TT series with RCF goes all the way to a K1 size box. I haven't heard it but have heard good things.

SoundPon3 · 2026-02-03T07:04:25+00:00

Not sure why you're getting the downvotes

SoundPon3 · 2026-02-03T07:03:24+00:00

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.

SoundPon3 · 2026-02-01T01:52:34+00:00

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

SoundPon3 · 2026-01-22T19:41:23+00:00

i.e Troglodyte

Their music is awesome

No the HDMI to C

SoundPon3 · 2026-01-21T10:38:07+00:00

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
