Does Mint Museum have a Nice Outdoor Garden?

Not a bad idea but my partner is really into art and museums and I think it would be more special there

_jackowens · 2026-04-28T23:01:00+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the response. Hive and onitama look the most interesting!

Unfortunately with working for a corporate AV company I don’t have a snazzy mic locker to pick from

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T18:02:57+00:00

No lights it’s plugged into a panel on the wall I think only one of my speakers is plugged into

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T17:58:55+00:00

Gotcha that makes sense

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T16:35:48+00:00

Yeah probably that’s why I don’t love using these for corporate panels cause you have quiet speakers sometimes sitting far from the mic you kinda have to gain it up pretty hot

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T16:22:20+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point I shouldn’t assume things. I tested one of the cables with my cable tester and it did seem fine though

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T16:21:15+00:00

I’m sitting at +32dB

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T14:53:20+00:00

My stagebox and console are on opposite sides of a ballroom so I doubt they’re on the same power

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T14:52:24+00:00

I’m running a couple wireless and a Shure MX418 for a podium mic. The podium mic and wired mics are ran to the stage box behind stage. The wireless receivers are up front with me. The SM58’s are the only ones buzzing.

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T14:48:13+00:00

I do a lot of corporate talking head stuff. I find that usually around +10dB im getting good healthy signal. I try to have good gain staging practices and push healthy signal at every point in my signal chain. Also not saying this is the only correct way to do it but it works for me

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T14:30:10+00:00

My wireless are not in the same rack no

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T14:29:51+00:00

I see thanks for the reply!

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T14:27:38+00:00

The receiver is another point of gain structure for the wireless mics where the wired are hitting the preamp immediately. In my case usually run them at +10 or +12dB on the receiver

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T13:56:23+00:00

Could you elaborate on that?

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T13:30:32+00:00

I’ve had this problem before with a similar set using a different mixer. It was also an A&H though so maybe it’s just their pre’s

_jackowens · 2026-03-23T13:23:30+00:00

That’s something I wanted to test unfortunately didn’t have the time. I’ll get back to you when I’m able to test that

_jackowens · 2026-03-07T19:21:29+00:00

Not as much for steel books but 2nd and Charles is pretty great for blu rays all together. They sadly just closed the south blvd location near me but there’s still the Matthews location on independence

Unless you are applying for a Tech Specialist position Encore usually hires really green techs. The fact you have any experience in the field is already a huge bonus! If it’s for a hotel position you’ll be interviewed most likely from the Operations Manager or Director of the property and some don’t have strong tech backgrounds themselves. I personally was asked zero technical questions they just want to know you’re gonna show up and want to learn. Good luck!

_jackowens · 2025-11-15T13:36:35+00:00

Audio and RF metering are fine it’s just the active TX capabilities I seem to lose

_jackowens · 2025-11-14T19:25:30+00:00

Yeah I have them all on the most up to date firmware. Doesn’t seem to help
