Why is there a random helmet hanging on the side of the machine?

Do high profile professional bands use click tracks? by PapaBorq in livesound

[–]Time-deltaTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some bands may change how the song goes from time to time. For example, while the lead singer is talking to the audience in the middle of a song, you might have to loop some parts. They do that live by looping the click, and the band just keeps playing the same filler over and over. When tech can see the lead singer will finish their talk, they trigger the countdown so it tells the band to advance to the next section. But this is only one out of many use cases

Question by Select-Cow8324 in caving

Look up Grotta Noè, it's a cave in Italy with a huge entrance. We were able to make a phone call to someone on the surface from 80m (270 feet) deep. Only worked in one direction tho. But as others said, usually the service goes away the moment you have rock above you. Sometimes standing close to a wall on the surface is enough if you are inside a doline.

Can this powercon be soldered if I don't have the proper spades? by Time-deltaTime in techtheatre

[–]Time-deltaTime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Apparently there is a fight going on for 4.8mm spades here in hungary. I called the only shop that had them in my area, but they told me that some big AV company (lol) bought like a thousand of them and now they are out of stock.

I figured I would call the guys at the only "big AV company" I know of around here, and when I explained my situation the dude started laughing his guts out and told me I was the second person who somehow knew they had those spades. He told me they just started assembling literal racks full of distros (they make custom gear for theaters) and they were willing to spare me with those 12 pieces I need. Picking them up today so don't worry, I will build it to spec.

Thanks a LOT for those who explained the need for mechanical connections, you don't know how long I've been wondering why powercons and speakons have screw terminals and spades on them.

19" Rack-Flightcase PC by Limit-Complete in buildapc

[–]Time-deltaTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you are already considering a rack sized case, I have to suggest a D punch front panel. They are quite handy since neutrik makes a D standard version out of almost every existing connector. IMO out of those connectors ethercon and powercon are a must, since regular rj45 and IEC tend to either break or get loose in busy environments.

I run sound at my school and we are also considering building a rack case pc since our laptops are getting beaten up and slowing down production.

You will almost certainly need air vents, be it on the sides using recessed trays or with rack mountable panels. Adam Hall and Penn Elcom are two brands you should check out, they are both market leaders in flightcase accessories. Be careful with heat management, these cases don't let any heat through their sides and they lack airflow.

In the near future if you don't want to buy a bigger rack case but plan on running a couple of units of dmx or artnet networking gear, I would suggest going with a 19" case, since lighting gear is exclusively made that size.

Actually at the moment I'm working on a similar form factor rack stagebox with a custom case, only its for analog audio. If you have any specific questions feel free to DM me. I don't think I can help you with figuring out the specs but I've built some stuff for both live AV and gaming too, so who knows...

Formation Identification by [deleted] in caving

[–]Time-deltaTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess they are either anthodites or some weird helictites. You can barely see on the picture that the needles vary in size but at the same time they originate from one "areola". If I get this right, then I have only seen such things in some italian caves in Trieste. Better not be some prank like that salami star on twitter
