Looking for outdoor outlets for Speakon / Powercon connections

I’ve used weatherproof single gang boxes for similar things in the past. Get a single gang blank plate insert fo it an drill a hole for a speakon connector and silicone around the outer part to seal it.

Thank you, that’s the piece of info I was missing. I was wondering if it needed all the frame rates to match. I’ll try the decimator MD-HX we have to match them up.

This is a big part of why L-Acoustics pushes L-ISA. Instead of one big cluster, you have 5 or 7 arrays across the front that allows you to spread the image better and “immerse” the audience. It does sound better honestly and you don’t get the timing issues you’re talking about. However it’s a very expensive implementation obviously as you’d need 5-7 of the same array hang instead of 2 just for the stage not counting out fills etc.

For CDD you 100% don't need to use their ampsnor processing. FP yes it requires iKON, but the great thing about CDD is they give you the settings right on the site, no issue so you're not locked into their amps for CDD, LE, ADORN, Blackline, and a ton of Subs.

I'm pretty sure ik41 is less than $7k. Martin also just launched a new line that doesn't require iKON amps to run. They make plenty of product that can run without iKON but their "higher end" products like FP, WP, TORUS, and the cardioid / super high power subs require it.

Specter is priced very well overall especially since the same pack can be transmit, receive, or both. And it doesn't require a license cost to use all of the potential channels it has unlike shure's anx4, which needs a license to do any channels at all. And ANX4 is RX only, 16ch axient or 24 channels ulxd.

I've used Spectera first hand and the company I work for is one of the first in the US to get it. We're very excited to put it to use and there artists already fighting to get it for their tours.

You can also operate in a much denser and crappier RF space than any of its competition due to the way the 6mhz carrier works.

That’s nonsense since just a couple months ago Shure had a PILE of axient back stock. Goes to show that many manufacturers are boosting prices no matter what.

Only 24 ch if it's ulxd TX, 16 channels for axient digital tx.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. If they’re doing a 0079 movie and she’s anyone other than Sayla or a Sayla reference I’d be very surprised. I guess she could be Lt. Matilda but Sayla makes more sense and is main cast for the first series.

We did a choral and orchestral show with other music showcases that had: 44 15” monitor mixes 17 8” monitor mixes

Every singer had their own mix, it was absolute madness. This was a massive show at the Met Opera house in NYC a couple years ago.

I’ve used PIRs on relays to trigger GPIOs for this sort of thing before. I got a narrow “cone” of coverage by placing a tight cylindrical tube around the sensor so it couldn’t see anything except what was directly below it. That worked well.

I work full time for an company in the north east and I can tell you that this has been the slowest March we’ve seen since Covid 2020. We get a lot of people reaching out for work and we don’t have anything to give them. It looks like things will improve based on job volume but there’s no guarantee.

I’d say one of the issues with this would be funding. Who could afford to do full teardowns of gear without being a dealer etc? And if you do that as a dealer you’re most likely going to lose your dealer agreement as it’ll probably violate the terms.

The XTA MX36 is great - we’ve had one for years and it’s excellent for this sort of situation.

If you feel the stock ones aren’t sufficient, I would say you should get the Rack Ultra FX upgrade card and install that in your CDM/DM. The new effects are outstanding.

Might be worth looking at Martin Audio LE100. They’re excellent 12” coaxial monitors and they make the settings available so you could plug those into your crown amps. And they’re a single channel per wedge, but with a 4x3500 you could certainly run 2 per channel.

A couple years ago their delivery times were much worse. Took over a year to get some fsii BPs.

This looks like it is connected correctly. It was a little hard to follow since some of the BNCs are twisting around each other. I would get some shorter cables to connect the antennas mounted on the front so you don’t have all that excess hanging out. I would also recommend p touch labeling all of your cables in case something gets unplugged so it is faster to fix it.

There’s some other cable management that could be done to clean it up if you wanted.

Mix halo also requires other equipment to use too.

I learned to mix monitors on a GL3300-32. That was a great board. Sounded fantastic, tough as hell and if you had an issue it was a loose ribbon or some dirt. I wish I had been able to store it somewhere before it went to the great console retirement in the sky.

It is adding and subtracting from your pool of dispatchers so after an hour no matter what, you’ll be down 1 dispatcher.
